Here's what she wrote about her tree: "When I was getting married, my friends threw a Christmas themed shower for me. My cousins gave me a box full of all of these ornaments for no rhyme or reason other than they thought they were funny. I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina and then moved to the city of Charlotte, NC, no where near an ocean. This silver tree was in my husband's house when we moved in together. I despised it and quickly put it in the closet to be forgotten. However, last Christmas, I had no place for these ornaments and decided to make a themed tree! The crazy part is my husband and I moved to the coast of NC in early June. I completely forgot about this tree and ornaments until I started decorating. How perfect it now fits with our new coastal lives! I'm excited to start collecting more nautical ornaments as the years come!"
