It didn't actually go all the way around but the tree was in the corner so it was plenty. It was also lined so there was quite a bit of volume there.<br />Thanks for your comment!An Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-61593634462905437162013-02-28T17:22:45.166-05:002013-02-28T17:22:45.166-05:00I love the tree skirt!

I was VERY impressed and wanted to see what else you have up your sleeve here. It would appear that you have a LOT!!! :-) I love this tree. It speaks elegance in a language only lovers of elegance can understand. I love the fullness of it and the rich colors of the vintage ornaments. I love how you entwined natural elements throughout. The "birdcage" topper is brilliant, and I do like the leopard print skirt. Every home needs a touch of animal print. It's quite chic! I'm going to poke around your blog a bit more later, but for now...this rocks like a hurricane! I hope you had a joyous Christmas, and I wish you and yours an equally joyous New Year!Alycia Nicholshttp://tabletwentyone.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/life-is-a-cabaret-new-years-eve/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-49194930976700559422012-12-26T09:36:27.048-05:002012-12-26T09:36:27.048-05:00Your tree is absolutely gorgeous!
