I have collected vintage glass ornaments for many years now.  I find them at garage sales and antique shops.  At first I kept any that I found.  Any color, solid or with a painted design.  But, as my collection grew, I knew I needed to cut down and only keep the ones I really love.

Now I stick with mostly pink and aqua, but I love a little pale green thrown in too.

And recently I culled out most of the solid round ones too.  I love the ones with pretty hand painted designs, or those with a unique shape.

I display my ornaments on a small silver tree.  This is my only tree.  A larger tree would overwhelm my house.  I don’t use any lights or anything else on this tree, it doesn’t need any extras.  It is sparkly and gorgeous as is.  It looks perfect next to my newly painted buffet.
