Safety First!



These ornaments do not belong on a tree
atop a tile floor
with little brown dog cooped up from all the rain.

Star Jar

How adorable are these folded moravian stars all collected together in an antique ball jar? Each star is fabricated from 4 strips of paper, dipped in paraffin wax, and sprinkled with diamond dust glitter. Simply perfect by themselves or you could even add a small battery powered string of lights inside the jar to give the glitter some extra sparkle for an added twist. And I think they would look darling strung up on a small, white feather tree for a modern take on Christmas. And just look at how perfect the larger star ornaments look strung up outside for a special occasion! Be sure to stop by theStarcraft to view all of her collections as well as the special sale section. Thank you theStarcraft for such inspiring beauties!

A Very Vintage Christmas

Here's a real spin on Christmas - turquoise paired with amber colored ornaments. I had originally planned to just include the turquoise ornaments in this kit, but I saw the little amber colored vintage indent ornament sitting in its box and noticed what a great contrast it provided to the turquoise. I gathered a few orange ornaments and some pretty yellow ones and I am so happy with the end result! Also included are the most precious vintage bird Christmas lights. I'm not sure what my fascination with Christmas birds is lately, but these lights sure make me smile every time I see them.

This little feather tree is an absolute delight. The prelit tree is covered in a variety of ornaments including: small aqua bird ornaments which come adorned with their own feather tails; small aqua vintage mini ornaments; tall ball and teardrop shaped ornaments in a deep aqua, silver and bright magenta and a lovely garland of glass beads that just sparkle in the light.
The feather tree and ornaments are sold already!
