Christmas Vehicle Ornaments

11:26 PM

Another group of ornaments I fell in love with this year were vehicles with trees.

I may also may have gone a little vehicle ornament crazy....

You decide...

And how could I resist the holiday fire truck?

Trucks with Christmas Trees!!!

A Volkswagen Bug - too cute!

Here's one of two trailers.

And, all of the above were made out of glass. I ordered about 6 more vehicles made out of resin.

They were all so cute, and just so you don't think I was crazy, we've sold almost all of them.

So I think I should tell everyone thank you!

For liking them as much as I do.

Christmas Tree Details

Here's some of my favorite ornaments from our Gold Tree.

We got a nice selection of old fashioned style gold animals, on wheels! Here's the sheep.

I always like to have some larger pieces, either tucked in the tree or hanging on the edge. I love these plastic Merry Christmas banners. We had them in red or white. They were so pretty and reasonably priced, they sold out in the first week.

These gold wire ornaments have a lot of bling, little weight, and can be tucked into the tree for depth or hung on the tips for bling.

These gold ice skates came in 2 sizes, and look great on your tree, in the center of a wreath, added to garland, tucked onto a tablescape. They really have no weight, so they can easily be added to almost anything.

These are one of my favorite ornaments. They are glass, with lots of design, great color combination, with glitter, shine, and rich color. They are actually accented with black, not a traditional Christmas color, but with the other gold & glitter, these ornaments could fit into almost any other Christmas color scheme.

Hope to see you soon.

Christmas Trees at Not Too Shabby

8:28 AM

We set up 4 large trees at our Not Too Shabby location.

This year I decided to try putting three trees at the front of the store.

An enchanted statement at the front.

And the pink & blue tree ended up back a little, by the register.

It's a lot easier to decorate the trees now that they're all the 9 feet skinny, center-pole light style trees.

That layout lasted a couple of weeks, but I just couldn't get used to the flow of the store with the three trees up front.

So, all of them got separated into their own spots.

The blue & silver (Ocean) tree ended up in the front corner

The gold tree was moved to the other front window, where it showed off our bed display beautifully.

It's funny to look back at these pictures & see how much they have changed.

I'll post details next.

Christmas Trees at Re-Find Living

10:11 PM

Here's more pictures of our Christmas trees, this is a skinny 12-foot.

We discovered the ceiling is 12-foot, at the back of the store,

And only 11-3/4 feet at the front.

Wasn't so funny.

But it all turned out.

It's decorated with ornaments in traditional colors.

This is a 6 foot tree, we placed on a table.

It's filled with felt and soft ornaments.

Super cute Swedish reindeer,

Soft snowmen,

And fluffy birds.

This is a nice fat 9-foot tree we placed on a very solid coffee table.

It's a lovely tree, decorated with a woodland theme.

We've filled it with jeweled owls, burlap flowers, glass pine cones, and so many other beautiful pieces.

It really turned out beautifully.

These are pictures of the trees about a week after they were first decorated.

Now, a month later they are looking pretty empty.

Better head in quickly.
