This year's Christmas tree in our apartment is studded with vintage wooden ornaments that I collected this November at thrift stores. They are gorgeous and beat up a bit and perfectly lovey. They definitely breathe a bit of child-like goodness into our apartment. And the best part... 95% of the ornaments were only 25¢. The other 5% were only 50¢. I got over 75 ornaments. That's about $20 for a tree full of vintage ornaments. Considering how much the plain ole glass ornaments are... that's a stellar deal. It's also pretty priceless not looking like everyone else.
Our lights were the big vintage ones as well. So dreamy....
I love the wooden ornaments. One of my trees downstairs has nothing but wooden ornaments that I have bought over the years while living in Alaska. I too, like a good bargain!
ReplyDeleteNoah has collected nut crackers since he was 4 years old. The big lights remind me of grandmommy's tree while growing up. I have those on one of my big trees outside. Beautiful against the snow! Merry Christmas to you and Andrew, oh and Bailey!!!!
