Okay...here goes....I'm goin in. I'll be right back ;)
Hi I'm back. Well I started the tree......................................................................................................
I wanted to show some of my fav bintage..and not so vintage.....ornaments..................................................
(you can click on pics to see better)
This is my 'new' tree topper. Jim found it last New Years week at an Antique Mall..I forget where.. It is a 1940's alimuinum (yea) light up treetopper. It came in it's original box and wasn't dinged or anything!
This is an aluminum light reflector with plastic color bursts in primary colors..to match the topper... These were my Grandma's from the 40's too.
These 3 ornaments are from the 60's...they reminded me of my tree at my Mom and Dad's...these aren't
the ones from their tree...LOL...Mom still uses hers!
This is a 1940's ornament with a toy motif.
These 2 ornaments are from the 40's too. I love the little frosted glass bell and the other is a plastic with aluminum whirligig that spins when placed over a tree lightbulb.
I love my set of these 1950-60 plastic ornaments. I found them in a box of broken ornaments..the 'kids' selling em at the flea market thought they had a cellophane over the holes...hehehe. I didn't have the heart not to tell them they weren't broken.....they said they had more at home and thanked me for the honesty...I got for .25 each!This isn't old. It's a hand-painted ornament from the Smokies
This one isn't old either. You place it over the lightbulb and the sky lights. (it's not cracked that's tinsel)
These 2 ornaments are from the 50's. Sorry it's blurry.......I love the pink and gold of the ball and the flocked snow scene of the coveredbridge
. The other has a duck motif.....that must've been a popular motif back then. I have that table cloth that I created my placemats with that are for sale on my website HERE and Mom found a matching carafe...hmmmm
This last pic is of a Viking Glass? lidded/footed cloche that was Jim's Grandmother's. It is filled with glass ornaments and glass bead garland from my Grandma. It's all from the 40's.
Now I'm off to finish the tree and get more things out to share. See ya later!
