carefully deconstructed wonderland

a new perspective in the day of the life of a holiday tree, organic or artificial

January 25, 2026

Trees, my admiration for them runs as tall as Northern California’s Redwoods!

Frank Lloyd Wright suggests, at places like Fallingwater, we bring the outdoor indoors and the indoors outdoors. So in Southwest Pa, where we deal with a lot of gray skies… mastering how to mirror nature in the comfort of your own home is key for seasonal mental wealth. This pro-tip encourages us to nurtures our souls in the ambiance of an enchanted forest all year round! 

Often, with big storms or cooooold overcast winters, we encourage you to accept an invitation : slowly deconstruct your holiday decor, repurpose hyper-holiday decorations visibly in new spaces around your home and keep your lights up. 

Already took them down? Consider reinstalling your first layer. 

Then sit next to your tree—“wether it is to hot to cold to rainy or a little to paralyzing to go outside—light up a @spruceandadorn candle—and practice some breath work. The body knows what the body knows… this substitute can offer the reprieve of a tender loving, soul nourishing hike in the woods; without all of the mud and debris.”

Aunt prompt: Commute to your favorite small owned coffee shop, we suggest family owned De Fer, for a hot chocolate. During your commute count all the unconventional ways you see nature festively lit up. Look for illuminated stars, sun, moon, and of course all the ambient pine lit up along the way! Remind your little how taking deep breathes and connecting with nature can soften the day and offer joy in every way!
