Some of my vintage Shiny Brite and Polish ornaments in oversize beverage glasses from Michaels. I almost fell over when I found them. I made the bow...yeah...I'm crafty like that.
Fresh greens in a vintage Colonial era Indian Chicken feeder, faux pointsettia in another Colonial era Indian piece, mini flocked trees, a handcrafted dove candle holder from Mexico and a Madge original collage canvas.
Vintage plastic Santa candy holders with vintage Christmas light bulbs, flickering candles and flocked miniature trees.Just in case you didn't get the memo...I've been appearing live on Thursdays and Saturdays on Jewelry Television's Jewel School from 9am to Noon EST on TV and on the JTV.com website. I'll be back on tomorrow...saying a little prayer the snow doesn't make it misery getting to Knoxville...and sharing two new projects with my lovely hosts Sheree Henry and Katie Rooke.
We have bedecked our halls with boughs, bows and balls this season. I'm feeling the Smoky Mountain Christmas.
