We thought you'd like a peek at FMS team member Margo's "ever green" tree for Christmas!
Margo, the Robolady, was inspired to try this project after seeing a driftwood tree at Winnie & Tulula's in Athens, Texas, where she is a vintage dealer.
She is also allergic to pine!
To build this beauty, Margo used 19 spindles plus a finial on top and a base.
This the latest in Margo's series of unusual trees for Christmas, inspired not only by her allergies, but also by her dislike of having to decorate (and undecorate!) a huge artificial tree unassisted!
"I decided to make it one afternoon last year, and it's been sitting in my barn all summer waiting for Christmas to roll around again," she said.
Margo sells tutorials on her blog, and there's one for this tree here, but you can also draw a forest full of inspiration from her Pinterest board of unusual Christmas trees!
What unusual flea market finds are inspiring your holiday decor this year?

This is so inspirational, and I love that the base and post are from a hall tree! How ironic is that!! Love the rustic appeal! Great job, Flea Market Mag!
I love this idea. And you can pick up spindles for $1 each at the ReStore.
