It's Christmas is in the warm Florida air & everyone unleashes her interiors decorator/florist/personal shopper. One more time our little village is turned into a fairy-tale with the strings of light, xmas music & fake snow. This year i was faced with the reality of having zero xmas decoration all lost in a fire of divorce. Yet again it was a good thing: a chance to make a conscious choice was given. Live or Plastic? Big or Small? Green or Pink? Made-in-China decorations or...? Still contemplating, my daughter & i set for Lows to see our options. The selection was pitiful & we we heading out when we saw her...a tiny unassuming evergreen sitting shyly in the corner. She looked so lonely that i was naturally drawn to her & upon coming close enough was able to read her tag :"Eugenia Topiary" & there was no doubt in our minds that she was coming home with us!
