Oh yes. MT @palmtrees_lemon: It's so nice to be able to shop in your pajamas on a cold night. Take your time, no pressure sales.

After New Years Day “@todaysnest: Q9: When does the tree come down? ”

@stblissout Do you really have an Easter tree?

You had me at Irish Cream RT@palmtrees_lemon: @madrasnpearls @realreddyice wants recipe.

Q8 About 90 percent. Most on farm websites from back home . & craft museums.

Ageee, @palmtrees_lemon no lines or mean people either. @chicmodern I won't judge. Ours has been up until after the Super Bowl some years.

RT @KateTLewis: RT @NancyLangdell:@houseoffanny Shop Local! yes!! @todaysnest @lori_rice You'll be so happy with the produce. I picked 15 little limes today, Meyer lemons are almost ripe! @houseoffannie Shop local, yes! @madrasnpearls @realreddyice wants recipe.

RT @asoulfulplace: A9 Try and wait until after the 1st, but sometimes I cant wait. The tree is the hardest to deal with, I think.

A9-usually epiphany but we put the tree up so early this year I may no wait that long. @todaysnest @LoveJonesDesign @MariaProvenzano@todaysnest only problem is people stealing packages after they have been left on a door step!

RT @stblissout: @todaysnest q9 after Valentines's Day then my Easter tree goes up :) >lol

Well the last time I put a tree up it took me until the end of Feb to take it down #dontjudge A9 Try and wait until after the 1st, but sometimes I can't wait. The tree is the hardest to deal with, I think.

Good tip RT @madrasnpearls: run a knife around the pan before it cools, keeps cheesecake from cracking.

RT @LoveJonesDesign: I find locals on Etsy and purchase from... faster & shipping cost is lower.
