We wanted to find a fresh Christmas Tree in Manhattan in the middle of August.  It sounded crazy but I thought we could do it, I mean in NYC anything is possible right?  

So we headed to where I went many times during set decorating: Manhattan's wholesale Floral District.  We walked into Ev   ergreen on 6th Avenue, asked if they had a Christmas tree and this was just sitting there waiting for us. 

I was so proud of finding a live spruce Christmas tree in the middle of August. 

You can see the tree all decorated in the spirit of Christmas here.
