White Wednesday...

I love Wednesdays!


I look so forward to seeing

 what all my new friends have selected

to share with us for this

 wonderful day

of white posts.

Today...

I would like to share with you

something I had made

for the Christmas Open House.


This little tree in it's own whitewashed sleigh.

For many years now,
I have been collecting the extra crystal drops that come with the chandy's we get in at the store
 and those that arrive with the chandeliers I have here at home.

I also have picked up some of these drops at garage sales and flea markets.

I never really had any idea what I wanted to do with them...Just knew I liked them.

Well, It finally hit me as I was getting things ready for this Open House. I would use these wonderments to decorate a small scale tree!

Some of the crystals are really old...
Some are not real crystals at all..
Most are lovely in their own right!

All together they made a precious little treasure!

I also found some tiny tree ornaments made from glass, crystals and tiny paper roses...

added a antique battenburg lace collar as a tree skirt... the little sleigh I found this summer at a garage sale...It was a funky gold and red!

And well...as you can see it's quite charming!

And it now...

 has a new home somewhere other than the store!

I only hope that it is loved and well cared for.

(So often the things that I make become a part of me somehow...you want to know that they are well loved)

Happy White Wednesday to one and all!
