Oh Christmas Tree.

Christmas decorating in our house is in full on sparkle mode. Honestly, our little home is waaaaay too small to hold all of my treasures, but I have tried my best. I actually started out thinking that I was really going to edit this year and keep it fairly minimal. That didn't last long. With every box I opened, there were oohs and aahs and "Oh! I *have* to put these out." I especially like to decorate multiple trees in different sizes, shapes and styles. So far, (yes, I said so far) I have finished three. Take a look!

My Shiny Brite collection has been growing over the years,

and this is the first time I've had them all on a tree together.

I think they look happy and content.

Some look better in the original boxes, so these got stashed under the tree.

My big tree is loaded with all of my older vintage ornaments...many German or Czech in origin.

I like to layer them up and really pack them on to create a stunning effect.

Oh yeah.

 

My collection of vintage Christmas boxes fills the space underneath the tree.

(Ok-and spills out into other corners of the room:)

The best thing? These are all still filled with other collections waiting to find a spot in the madness!

These ornaments were a score at a thrift store many years ago.

The combination of colors and simplicity in design won my heart.

I think they look delightful on this vintage white tree.

How do you decorate your tree? ( or trees!?)
