Vintage Christmas

I put up two trees this year and I would love to show you my white Christmas tree decorated completely in vintage ornaments.



Shiny Brites


snowmen and Santas


and Retro


and sequined


and glittered.


 Flocked


and sparkle


and shine


and cute.


Angelic
and even a touch of snow


all live happily on my white tree.


Thank you for taking the tour


of my White Christmas tree.

I just love getting all
the decorations out.  Don't you?

Blessings,
Danielle

Your tree reminds me of when I was a little girl. My mom always put up a white christmas. I hated it because I always wanted a real one. Now I look back and miss the white tree. Those were the good old days. Love your ornaments as well. The red bird is adorable.
Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

Hi Danielle,

I love your white tree! All of your ornaments are beautiful, especially the one with baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph! How precious is that one!

On your banner - did I notice a couple of new pieces added? Butterfly and maybe a flower or two? Seemed a little fuller!

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
Donna

Hi Danielle! I love your white tree and all those wonderful, vintage ornaments. I especially love the little snowman inside the glass ornament and the small angel ... looks like she was made partly of felt? Vintage ornaments are the best and you have a great collection. Thanks for sharing!

It's just stunning! The mister and I decided next year we're getting a white tree, as our 50s aluminum seems to be getting a little ragged. Yours is such inspiration, and eye candy too!

Pam said...
