Holiday Wreath Alternatives

Hello, My Friends!~~

I love Christmas wreaths! I do! I love making them and I love looking at them, especially the wonderful-packed-full-of-vintage-holiday-sparkle that my BFF Suzy creates! Oh my, they are just breathtaking!

Suzy and I will be sharing a space in Williamsburg, VA on December 7 and 8 at The Trinkle Hall Holiday Craft Show on the campus of William and Mary. Our booth is all about vintage Christmas and we each bring our own spin to holiday decorating traditions! Suzy also makes the cutest shadow box ornaments from those sweet tiny vintage ornament boxes. Inspired by her creations, I made one of my own but used a large size vintage ornament box. A fun alternative or compliment to the wreath decorations you may have in your holiday decor!

This piece measures approx. 10 X 12 inches. And did I say over-the-top?

Another recent creation for the holidays is this wall hanging I made from a large antique book cover with the coolest illustration of a pixie riding an owl.

I added a forest of bottle brush trees for the owl to fly over as well as lots of vintage glass ornaments!

And here is a sparkly centerpiece using a vintage silver plate tray...

Lots and lots of sparkle and whimsy here!

I hope you like this little tour of pieces fresh from the studio. You may find all of them in Dime Store Chic as well as more vintage holiday creations!~~As always thanks for stopping by!~~XXOO, Beth
