Description:  Step into the charm of the French countryside with l’arbre de la joie, a tree inspired by the warmth and elegance of French Provincial style. This lightly flocked beauty evokes the feeling of a peaceful holiday in a rustic village, where joy is found in simple pleasures and timeless traditions. Adorned with gold leaf garland for a touch of refined sparkle, and complimented by soft green and snowy garlands that echo the quiet beauty of winter. Sugar-coated fruits glisten like holiday confections and wooden berry sprays add a natural texture and depth. Blue-green Eucalyptus sprigs offer softness and grace, while skinny velvet bows tied throughout the tree branches complete the scene.

The tree skirt—a rich red fabric blooming with large floral patterns—grounds the display in warmth and romance, enhancing the tree’s palette and festive charm. Every detail is thoughtfully chosen to transport you to the French countryside, where JOY fills the air.

This tree is displayed in memory of Pat Jacobs.
