Happy Christmas ...
It will be awhile before I get my Christmas tree up this year, so thought I could show you a few shots of last years.
This is actually a tree-topper but I love her down low where I can see her better. I think I have three of these, but not all in wonderful condition. Spun angel hair and usually made from a kit.
I have stopped putting the really old and rare ornaments on because two or three got broken the last time I put them on the tree.
I added German ice to these red berries and poke them in the branches to add glitter and loosen up the shape. I took a garland of pip berries apart and also poke them in the branches for a looser look.
Wax boots ...wax ornaments did not last long because the kids would chew them or they would get hot and loose their shape. I do have some that survived.
Some of my Santa collection are on the bookshelves behind the tree.
A vintage piñata ... not cute, but just had to have him.
Coffee table display. The clear ornament is displayed on a grouping of vintage door knobs.
Hope you enjoyed ...

All of your vintage ornaments are lovely, but my favorite is the Angel tree topper. She is just gorgeous! Hugs, Penny

Hi Audrey: I see that you are a Christmas fanatic like me. You have some beautiful ornaments. I love your photo shots into the tree. Looks like we have some similar ornaments. I'm hoping to get mine together soon. Better be soon!..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteHow pretty this all is, Audrey.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely olden ornaments. I didn't know about wax ones...I still have a few of my mother's glass balls but not many.
I am very late with getting my tree up...I usually do it on the day after Thanksgiving but with packed boxes everywhere, I have just put off decorating.
will put the tree up today, tho.
We switched from a tall tree to a 4' tabletop tree several years ago and I just adore the simply way of getting it up and down from the attic ea year. :)
What a wonderful collection.
ReplyDeleteI sure love your vintage ornaments Audrey. That angel is precious. Love the coffee table display too. Clever use of old knobs!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your collection and a very merry Christmas to to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHi Audrey - I recognize so many of your decorations as the same ones we had when I was still a kid. Nice flashbacks.

Hi Audrey, I love all your special treasures. They just add a a loveliness to your home.
ReplyDeleteOk...I am out of the loop and curious: what is German ice?
ReplyDeleteThanks always for sharing at the party!

We have some of the same vintage ornaments. I try to put all the ornaments on usually, but this year I have cut way back on the decorating. That quirky little pinata is adorable.
ReplyDeleteYour christmas tree last year was so pretty, and I so understand about not wanting to put up some ornaments. My favorite was a set of 4 of the pretties cardinal ornaments and last year I broker one! So now I pack them separately and take special care. So I don't' put on a tree but maybe in a bowl where they are safer! Your decorations are so pretty, we just put up a tree today, so don't feel bad. Thanks for liking my front porch!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at your ornaments Audrey. It is like a little slice of what I remember of Christmas.
