over the past year, i have been collecting vintage ornaments from estate sales. and by collecting, i mean 2 HUGE bins of ornaments. one sale, i brought the bin of about 70 ornaments up to check out and one woman behind the table said to the other woman "see - i told you they would sell!!! and you wanted to throw them in the trash!" just cracked me up. true, some people think vintage ornaments are old and stained, but the cracks and discoloring are what i love.
when i got back from traveling to pittsburgh for thanksgiving, i promptly opened the bins and started spreading these lovelies throughout the house. i also attempted to make an ornament wreath which i am here to say is not fun - not at all! but that's a whole other post.
Love the tree. :) I am curious about the ornament wreath...I always wanted to make one but was too chicken to try.
ReplyDeleteYour little tree looks adorable! Go vintage girl. Margie
ReplyDeleteOh I love your tree. I've been watching Kijiji in hopes to find a silver aluminum tree one day.
ReplyDeleteI've also been hoarding (I am what I am) vintage ornaments. I can't help myself. I found a project online that I am hoping to recreate in the next couple of days or so.
LOVE this little tree in the picture!!!
