Well, I am in full Christmas mode now!!!! We even got a little dusting of snow last night with ?more on its way today (we are hoping!!). The boys have their skiis out and are ready to go!!!!
I have always loved vintage bottle brush trees, but have NEVER been able to find any......
Last year I noticed tutorials all over blogland for bleaching trees....this is my version of those projects.
Displayed in little embellished pieces found at the thrift store they are an adorable addition to your Christmas decor.
Have a great day my blogging friends!

I love how the trees look in the embellished silver trophy cups! So pretty! I have been wanting to try to bleach some trees myself. I love the sanctuary sign with the birds, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are so pretty! I never would have thought a bottle brush could be re-purposed so well!
ReplyDeleteHi Janis, your bleached ones are pretty!... I am very fortunate to have a number of vintage ones, some from my childhood, others as gifts from family and friends... just posted a couple...and put links to my last years posts for Vintage Christmas Monday blog party on my sidebar... will be posting many more, hope you can drop in for a visit!... your posts are always so pretty!... xoxo Julie Marie

Hi Janis!

I love the way you have displayed them!

ReplyDeleteKathy
They look great!! Soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen bottle brush trees and I have never seen those lovely silver cups anywhere, either. I would love some of those.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that we should get our first snow on the same day that you got yours in the Vancouver area. I had heard on CBC that you were meant to get it, but on friday my granddaughter from across the line called me and very excitedly told me that it was snowing! How fun for all of you, I hope you got to get out there and enjoy it!
Hugs, cindy
I Love bottle brush trees and have collected them for a couple of years now! My favorite by far are the white or "tea dyed" looking ones! Your display is beautiful......

I found those tutorials last year too and was so excited to make white trees, I made a bunch, put them in everything and had left overs! I recently found them in my stash of Christmas supplies and started going through the shelves and cupboards for new containers! Yours are beautiful as always! Thank you for your sweet comment, it made my day! Theresa xoxo
