"Wise Men Still Seek Him . . . ". Love how this turned out. It is a vintage silver tray, a wood camel I spray painted silver and a silver wire cage turned cloche. The cloche was purchased this week at an occasional sale store in Buffalo, MN. Loved it!
What is simpler than silver and a cloche? Just found this gorgeous crystal tree with a silver star on top at a thrift store. Scrubbed it up and wow she sparkles now.
Love, love, love trophy cups of any sort. I kept this one gold and added a dyed bottle brush tree to make this fun holiday item.
More bottle brushed trees. Love this color or rather non-color.

When you first enter the door at this occasional sale shop, you will be greeted with this display. Lots of silver pieces with some of my mini bottle brush trees mixed in.
Details of the above photo.
I re purposed a once neglected thrift store silver colored candle holder with this white flocked tree. It mixes well with my jewelry that I sell at this shop. My jewelry is all vintage redesign pieces, so I try to create things that will showcase my jewelry and enhance it for the holidays.

Here are some examples of re purposing objects that I am doing for selling at the "French Flea" shop in Anoka. You can see more details of these items if you check out my profile and go to the site displayed. Lots of fun stuff can be created to turn your home into a special place for you and your family for the holidays. Why not start now?

These vignettes are just beautiful. I especially like the Wise Men Still Seek Him - keeps the focus on the original meaning of Christmas. ~judi ;) Posted: 8:20 am on November 9th
