Those who place feather trees atop a table give great care to the base of the tree. A white picket fence is a refreshing surround into which a charming scene of the season may be placed. Beneath a tree adorned with miniature old-fashioned glass ornaments, tiny bottle brush trees frosted in white evoke the feeling of a snowy holiday. Placing Santa and his reindeer insid the picket fence adds to the magic that is Christmas.

Some feather trees are made with white feathers and, when dressed in winter decor, suggest a dusting of snow and evoke a cottage charm. Plain red ornaments, white snowflakes, and some vintage Christmas tags keep this tabletop beauty both simple and festive.

Taking tea in the garden is a delightful way to enjoy the season of sun while sipping a favorite steeped beverage. Hot or iced, tea is enjoyable outdoors, too. Consider moving those favorite upholstered chairs to the lawn and invite Mother Nature to join you.

During some seasons, tea is best enjoyed outdoors. Iced tea in the garden is summer's tea party. Being surrounded by real flowers and not just floral chintz and fabrics round out the experience with a nod to Mother Nature. Decorating an outdoor wall with colorful pots of flowers is quaint and charming.
