I'm a collector of sugars and creamers.
All kinds; but I really love the silver sets this time of year,
and part of my collection is adorning
my living room Christmas tree.
A few years ago I had out my big tree and used more of them,
but this year I've selected a few to give
my smaller tree in the Living Room
a definite "shine"!
I like the combination of the silver, creams, and golds
with the burlap,
embossed vintage Shiny Brites and some glitter snowflakes.
And look who has the place of honor
A sweet little angel that I received
from my very sweet friend Dorthe.
She creates the most amazing dolls,
driftwood angels and magical fairies!
Hope you'll join in today with your

Debra, I love that tree in that old cart. How adorable is that. What a great idea hanging your silver collections on the tree. Thanks for hosting. This is probably the only room with vintage Christmas in it. Hope you will come join my giveaway.
ReplyDeleteDebra..it is all so stunning! I love the idea of using your sugar & creamers on the tree :)
ReplyDeleteCHRISTmas Blessings!

I like your tree. I put sugar and creamers on a mantle in my booth.
ReplyDeleteThe silver sugar and creamers are just stunning on your tree....love the old black cart too! A lovely way to display your Christmas tree! Happy holidays, Debra!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!

Your tree is so pretty. I have a small collection of creamers also, I just love them so much. Never would have thought to hang them on the tree. I just love the look.
ReplyDeleteDebra, I love the colors on that tree, yeah silver. I am so loving finding other women who still like to decorate with silver. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteOH! I have just gotten some ideas from you for our cafe' tree: mini children's tea sets! Your home is simply beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThe combo of the burlap, silver and music ornaments- sigh~
Merry Christmas to you!!

Love the tree with all the old silver with the burlap. I made wreathes one year at the shop with old silver on them... but no burlap. It is a really nice touch.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you today
Rebecca

Dear Debra,
ReplyDeleteI`m so honored that my angel is on top of your tree,-thank you so very much, dear friend.
I love the tree with your silver creamers,-and sugars-it is so special, and very beautifull with snow flakes and ornaments.
Your bowl with the white pointsettias, is beautifull, too --and the whole display, looks just wonderfull, christmassy.
Hope your week-end will be full of joy, and beauty.

Debra,
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks fantastic! I am wrapping mine in burlap ribbon as well...(yup, still working on it...)....AND if you can believe this....I just printed out a very similar ornament idea wrapped w/ vintage paper & glitter. My girls & I are making them this weekend. Too funny!
But do love the creamers/sugars with it:)
And of course everything else looks so lovely as well!
Take good care!

Hi Debra! What a beautiful and interesting tree your silver makes! Your entry is GORGEOUS! But you know how much I love white! Thanks for the fun! Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteI remember that cart from the fall and it makes a gorgeous tree holder. That is a very innovative use of silver. And your angel is adorable.
ReplyDeleteAll very adorable & perfect !! Have a wonderful & blessed Christmas !

I love your tree with the sugars & creamers, burlap and the little cart makes for sweet inspiration. Thanks for being a gracious hostess!
ReplyDeleteDebra, your tree is just gorgeous! I could stand there for hours admiring all the sparkles. And I love that it sits in a sweet waggon.
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING!!!!! I cannot tell you how much I love your little tree....it is so unique!!!! Love it in the little wagon :o)
ReplyDelete~Des
I love it! I have used tea cups and cream pitchers on a tree too. Love the silver and I LOVE that it's setting in a wagon. It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteNancy
I love this tree so much! What a great way to display your collection and the topper is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely! Not only the tree, but the beautiful white table next to it. Beautiful.
Your tree is lovely--and I really like adding the old silver pieces to the tree. I have three precious baby mugs tarnishing in the cupboard, and you have inspired me to polish them and work them into our Christmas decorations. I look forward to reading your future posts!
ReplyDeleteHi Debra, I luv the tree it look's beautiful. And the rest of the vignette looks so pretty. Thank You for hosting today.....Julian
ReplyDeleteDebra I can't even tell you how much I love this tree!!!! How awesome your silver looks on this with the lights. Now THIS is inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI missed your last post, but thought I would give my 2 cents. I was shooting with a Canon S5 IS power shot (which I adore)but I am sure has been upgraded and renamed with higher pixels)) It has the best Macro setting I've ever used. I needed to upgrade because I had worn out the controls over the years. So recently I bought a Canon Rebel T1i. I really like it. I haven't been able to spend the time with it I need to however to learn all it has to offer me. It takes some practice. I mainly chose it because of the viewfinder and ease of use. It's dials and settings are all very similar to my other camera so that has come natural for me. I didn't go for the Nikon because when I reseached it, it wasn't rated as high on 'user friendly' and believe me, I NEED user friendly. I'm sure for those who are used to Nikons love it and it is such a great camera. If I were you, I would definitly hold each one you are comptemplating, and see how they feel and if you like the viewfinder. That is what sold me. I have to be able to really 'see' when I shoot.
As far as macro...I don't think I'll ever beat my little Power Shot.
so that's my 2 cents worth.
hugs
Debra, The tree is so pretty sitting in your antique wagon! I love the idea of using silver pieces on it. Everything is beautiful! I hope to see you at my party on 12/15.
