Vintage Christmas Ornament Wreath


I have not begun decorating for Christmas yet. I follow an unwritten rule: no Christmas decor allowed before December.



However, I have been excited about participating in Vintage Christmas Decor.



Today, I am participating in a fabulous blogging party in which bloggers are sharing their vintage Christmas decorations. I so enjoy checking out the gorgeous holiday decor on everybody's blog.



I'd like to share my vintage ornament wreath that I constructed using old Shiny Brite ornaments that I've collected over time from antique stores and eBay.

  7. That wreath is sooo beautiful! Fantastic job on that! I'm with you on the whole wait until December thing to decorate for Christmas. The kids are starting to question when the tree goes up so I know I won't be able to put it off much longer!

  10. I love your wreath! I want to make one of these too, but I haven't found a single vintage ornament this year. That's so unusual, because I usually do. I might have to go and pay the big bucks and get some from an antique store!
    Happy VCM!
