Sparkly, Silver, Vintage Christmas Decor
From the music to the decorating…our Christmas is pretty vintagy. Anything sparkly and old typically catches my eye. And anything cheap typically catches Biceps’ eye. This year, I pumped up the sparkly, adding vintage accents here and there.
We found our snazzy aluminum tree for dirt cheap years ago-and it came with blue and silver ornaments to boot.
Our living room has become a sparkly, shimmery wonderland. Rebekah likey.
We’ve collected vintage ornaments over the years-with a hard and fast rule of never paying more than a dollar for each one. I don’t know why we have this rule-probably because we are cheap.
This lucite tree was a gift from Grandma’s stash ‘o Christmas goodies last year. I Christmas-fy the tree with dainty green ornaments during the holidays. And yes, ‘Christmas-fy’ is a word.
This centerpiece on my dining room table spreads its cutesy flair during dinner.
I created this four foot silver twiggy tree for our breakfast nook. I just can’t seem to get enough of the twigs, lately.
Trust me, there’s more to share-but I don’t want to overwhelm you with too much sparkly.
I heard too much exposure to ‘sparkly’ can be bad for the brain…Check back soon to see what else I have up my sparkly sleeve.
Hey Rebekah, I believe the lucite tree is a gumdrop tree. You put gum drops, if you can find them, on each point. My Gram had an aluminum tree with a rotating light to change the colors. I love old vintage Christmas. My old plastic ornaments have bobby pin hangers and snow spray still on them. We alo had small bells we called wishing bells. Each family member had a different color to wish on.
Keep up the great work!!
Cyndee-
A gum drop tree? That’s awesome. I never would have thought of that. I have tiny glass ornaments that Grandma gave me & they look pretty cute on the tree. I might have to try the gumdrops. Although, with sweet tooth Biceps lurking around i don’t think they’d last long!
