If you followed my blog last Christmas, you already know that I have a collection of vintage glass Christmas ornaments. I have a small silver tree that I display most of them on. Last year I had a big plan to limit my collection to mainly pink, aqua and green, I wrote about that here (and you can see the full tree on that post as well).
The pink and aqua are definitely still my faves.
So pretty.
I totally adore this little blue one because of its space age theme.
Try to ignore my reflection in the ornament, lol.
But I wasn’t that successful at limiting my collection. I ended up saving all of the silver and gold ones to decorate my dining room.
And I certainly couldn’t part with some of the more unusual ornaments, like these …
A few years ago I used a lot of my plain vintage bulbs to create a wreath.
I have to laugh at the countless reflections of my black and white checked floor that you can see in this close up.
So, in the end I rarely have very many ornaments that I actually want to get rid of. But, sometimes I put some aside for my Carriage House sale. I’m trying to fill this box for next year’s sale.
I just need six more. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for them at garage sales next summer!

Enchanting – I feel as though I have entered a pastel vintage fairy land. I tried to make one of those wreaths a few years ago. I did not realize the amount of ornaments needed. Yours is so pretty! And I love the crackled ironstone piece holding some of the bulbs. And the little hutch in your sunroom/porch is wonderful. Thanks for sharing Linda.

I had to replace a couple of broken bulbs on the wreath this year before I hung it up, and I was reminded how many it took to make it in the first place. Yep, a lotta ornaments! Thanks Victoria.

You know, I did think about that. But it would be tough to ship them without breaking any, they are just so fragile.
