Living in Brisbane, Australia was an amazing experience. We were surrounded by a tropical paradise! The flowering trees were one of my favorite sights and they inspired my Pink Paradise Christmas tree.

Pink magnolias, Protea flowers, butterflies and birds adorn my Pink Paradise Christmas tree. When I look at this tree it reminds me of the softer side of Australia.

When I found pink magnolias at a thrift store I was reminiscent of my visit to Mount Tamborine in Queensland. I had never seen pink magnolias and quite honestly didn’t know they existed! They were the perfect addition on my Christmas tree and happily remind me of Australia.

I added a bit of paradise to my Christmas tree this year!
