Holiday Collection Themed Trees

I will update this topic (wasn't sure if this is the right spot to put this...) for each holiday that I do this with.

Just a fun thing I started to do a few years ago. I have bought a few small "Christmas" trees and painted them various colors. I put them up with a few animal models that represent the holiday. Its a fun way to celebrate holidays and incorporate my collection. Family and friends enjoy it too so I thought I would share them here. Hope you enjoy! 

First up is my Valentine's tree (not a holiday I really endorse but its fun nonetheless).










I chose some "red" animals; pair of scarlet macaws, pair of red pandas, pair of pink freshwater dolphins; and a pair of white lions and my old Safari ltd. Dilophosaurus with hearts on it.

I will post my St. Patrick's day tree soon (first time I have done this one) and I am excited about it!

Amazing !!!

I am truely impressed how you can put so many things together and make it look nice, tidy, and beautyful

No wonder your visitors enjoy it !
I can't wait to see Sct. Patrick´s tree .      

This is such a wonderful idea and the result is so beautiful! Definitely one of the best ways I have seen to display animal models, it must have taken so long as there are so many little details on the tree! I can't wait to see more!

This is quite inventive and a nice way to have fun the entire year. Surely you have a special talent to do these thematic trees. I am curious to see the fourth of July tree.

Now that is a fun idea! enjoying looking at/for all the little details and Easter Eggs, as they call them at Disney.

Thank you everyone! It is a fun way to incorporate my hobby with holidays and celebrate year round.

This is my first Saint Patrick's day tree so it is still a work in progress. A little bare but its a start... and a HUGE thank you to Taos for his help in selecting some Irish themed animals!












Gypsy Vanner, a stand in Kerry Cow, an "Irish" donkey, Irish wolfhound and setter, Irish mountain hare stand in, and natterjack toad.:)

Beautiful tree once again and a delight to see an Irish wolfhound and setter on there!

So nice with Irish animals.
June 10th is Portugal's day.

Hey ! I thought O wrote here yesterday, - but obviously I didn't
Better late than never

This tree makes me smile because it is so charming !
Sprinkeled with the gold of the Leprechaun, and placed on a cloth with four-leaf clover, and with that somehow happy looking, big hat as a star

The animals are great choices too.
And you even have an Irish wolf hound pup !
I often wonder why there are no models of this magnificent breed among our models, but now I know the is at leat one .

Again I am so impressed how you can arrange all this to look so nice . There is not too little on it, Imho

I love this idea! I love a Christmas tree, and this is a great excuse to have one out all year. Love the animal choices you've made so far and can't wait to see what the other holidays bring. What a creative way to experience your own collection in a new way.

Thank you again (belatedly as always these days).

This is one of my favorite holidays and the last one I celebrate until July. So fun to decorate! Poorly lit photos as it is late here but I couldn't wait to share.

Lambs and bunnies and eggs and cute little chickens

Charming and beautyful ! I love this tree

Easter!
So beautiful, I love your attention to detail and nothing could be more wonderful than a tree of baby animals! I love the chicks!

Thank you both! Its one of my favorite holidays to decorate for.

The baskets are so cute, what a good idea for holding figures on the tree. This theme does seem to match really well with the farm aesthetic that shows up in your collection and memories and customs. I see your adorable little custom chicks in there! I really like the black and white rabbit and the black faced lamb, and all the pastels.

Nice decoration, beautiful tree .

I have been waiting forever for this one. Very "American", I am sure... but its an excuse to show off my eagles! I added the bison, our national mammal, this year.






Sorry the pics are kinda dark... but I work a lot this week so for now they will have to do.

Such a wonderful tree! I'm sure you would be very good at designing shop window displays!

Thank you Bonnie. :) I found a few more ornaments for it so I will replace the above when I get around to decorating with them.

that's wonderful Paige!
I really like the past photo with the top eagle 'glaring' at the camera

I missed this addition! So many eagles! Cool to see them altogether. I hope you get to still continue this tradition eventually, when your figures are unpacked again someday.

My favorite holiday to decorate for has come! Halloween is always so fun. In my new place it is still crowded as I situate my life and my collection is still in storage so I don't have my favorite spooky figures to use. Alas...

Here are my few shots from last year that have survived my phone purge...




And what I could scrape together from my new additions here with me.












My spooky star is my favorite. 

Superb collection of wonderfully themed trees!!!
