I surreptitiously took this photo at an antique show this weekend. I knew the vendor wouldn't mind since I am trying to inspire you to collect and appreciate vintage ornaments. Aren't they beautiful?
I have quite a collection myself, remember my vintage ornament tree? And since my mom and I are using vintage ornaments in our Advent By Candlelight tablescape, I am about to find out exactly how many I have!
She is coming over on Wednesday and we are going to pour over all of the ornaments and choose which ones to display in our two glass hurricanes. We are concentrating on pinks, greens, gold and silver. I can't wait to show you.
But I am a little nervous to actually get them all out. You know how you are a collector, you pick up a few items here and there over the year, but until it is all on display in one place, you are never quite sure what you have? I have a feeling that I have a lot more vintage ornaments then I think I have! Blame the rummage sales, I tell you. I had a lot of luck lately and I promise to do them justice in some lovely holiday displays this year.
