CHRISTMAS COLLECTOR"S ALLEY # 3
Please stop by and visit Denise and the others playing along. Won't you share with us your Christmas Collections???
Today I am sharing with you Tree #2, what I call my Vintage Tree. This is the tree of my Childhood and it is in the Master Bedroom. It is a 4 foot table top tree.
The vintage ornaments are from the 50's and unfortunately , they are not from my family. My sister told me that my Mother actually threw away the ornaments that we had like these.
These I picked up at Estate Sales and Yard Sales through out the years and put them away for the day I would be able to recreate the tree from my very early childhood.
The topper is a vintage glass blown one!
Most of these ornaments are hand painted.
I even added the silver tinsel from the 50's - 60's. I didn't know they still made it!!!
Underneath the tree is a Plasticville Village, just like the one that my Dad used to struggle to set up , laying on his belly, every year.
If you look to the right on my sidebar, you will see the tree with the village underneath it!!
This is the barn and animals that I played with as a child before Dad set up the village.
The blue and white house always fell apart so one year, my Dad got so mad at it that he glued it together.
The reindeer, figures and the bottle brush trees were also my parents.
Some of the other pieces of Plasticville I bought at a yard sale along with the vintage Putz houses.
Here it is lit up at night. I chose white lights instead of the colors lights.
So that is my collection of Vintage Ornaments and vintage Plasticville.
I have the entire upstairs decorated for Christmas with 5 trees up. The entire downstairs is still Halloween and Fall. It is like you go through a Time Warp when you go upstairs! LOL!!
Stay tuned for more of my 12 trees!!
