Christmas Past ~

I know Christmas is not here yet, {thankfully}
but I wanted to share my glitz and glam
from last year since many of you
have started following my blog since then.
I hope you enjoy ~
I have quite a collection of antique silver ornaments~
My skinny tree...I love it! We got it at Hobby Lobby two years ago on sale for $99 last one no box Now the same tree is $297! I draped the tree with vintage silver glass bead garland ~

I made a lot of my ornaments last year and
embellished them with
german glass glitter for
maximum sparkle and shine~
Mittens I made and embellished with
vintage millinery and glass glitter~


Just couldn't quit making them...

My little touch of
Christmas Past for you today.
Blessings~

Oh it looks so great! I love your skinny tree. My mom likes them too!
Your glitz is just wonderful. I'm going to put white and silver on my list of Christmas decor I want to do one year!
Happy Halloween!

What gorgeous Christmas finery! You have a right to be proud. They are each so lovely. It won't be long and everyone will be getting ready for the big decorations. You have a great start. I love Christmas decorations and all of the inventive beauties people create.
Have a lovely weekend. I am so glad Halloween is behind us and now we can concentrate on being Thankful...Sharon

I love all this! The ornaments are to die for! I have started a collection of my own and last weekend was able to snag 3 vintage silver ornaments for $1 at a bargain section of an antique store.
