One year I used all the crystals i could find from a lamp shop I was working for and decorated my tree. I returned the crystals to the shop after Christmas. I had a fabulous tree and didn't spend any money!
Hi Leeann, Oh! I so agree with you ... there is a store up in Delhi ... that I have been eyeing for sometime now ... I just love the crystal drops they have ... some in lovely colors as well ...guess next Chritmas is definitely going to see be get my hands on them ... they do look chic ... :)
What a wonderful idea!! and crystals have such depth, dimension and "life" - they twinkle and flicker in the light... sounds wonderful. Off to organise the xmas tree... have a great weekend. Gena PS. I have some great xmas inspiration on Vintage Rose Studio: http://vintagerosestudio.blogspot.com
Yes! Yes! Those old lead crystals are wonderful. Once used all crystal and those tiny blown glass animals for a child's tree. Also Teddy bear trees are great. Theme's are fun. In the 90's I worked in a floral shop.
Hi there, I have always used antique crystal drops, however this year, spurred on by the vintage make do 'n' mend, I have gone back to my vintage coloured glass baubles from my childhood (they have been boxed), and the colours are fantastic, no more understatement for me! Tracey
I love chandelier crystals on the Christmas tree, Leeann. I have a few but nowhere near the ammount that you probably have. They are so twinkly. Have a lovely weekend. XXXX
Perfection! They will look so lovely twinkling as they catch the light, which reminds me, I must give my chandelier crystals a clean so they are at their twinkly best above the dining table.

I have been wanting to do this for the longest time, but sadly don't have a single one. I love it !

How pretty... and the light green chiffon ribbon really is the perfect match with the crystals... keeping it all delicately light and translucent.

Happy weekend

Oh, those look lovely! I have a whole bag full of them. My Christmas tree is going to be decked out this year! Thanks for the idea!

ReplyDeleteI've put mine up too!! All shiny and bright. You don't really need anything else to decorate the tree if you vary the ribbons! How are you possum???
ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea...I love incorporating holiday non-specific items into holiday decor.
ReplyDeleteThey look so lovely Leeann! I've hung some too, with the lovely decorations that Ange sent me, and they look so special!
