But they weren't any less special,
I just needed to display them in a special way.
A few weeks ago Rita from Mammabellarte was preparing for their big event, The Vintage Marketplace at The Oaks, so she shared some of her "tart pan pedestals". I knew this would be a perfect idea for displaying my few Christmas goodies. I actually didn't have to even glue the glass candleholder and the aluminum mold together, is just set down in place.

This is an old jello mold, because I think it predates the Bundt Pan. In the 1920's and 30's it was very trendy to do large fruited gelatin molds or tomato aspics. So even though it is shaped similarly it was used for gelatins.
Most of my Shiny Brites are in whites, creams, golds and silver,
but these colorful oldies were the ones that I chose for some color and fun.
A few years ago my sis and I went through the attic of an elderly ladies' home sale. The son in charge was asking way too much for everything we chose, but he didn't realize that a dirty old box of Christmas ornaments could be so highly sought after. At least we didn't come home empty handed for our effort.
Just a few baubles to make it feel a little more like Christmas...
We have a dusting of snow and teensy flakes floating down.
We still have a few more things to do before the kiddos arrive.
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend,
I'll still do The Marketplace tomorrow,
so I'll see you then...

ReplyDeleteLooks so pretty Debra!... I have some old jello molds... I might just make a last minute decoration!... seems like everyone used to make jello in those molds when I was a little girl... and it always amazes me that so many estate sales almost "give" away vintage Christmas ornaments!... happy for you they did, yours are gorgeous!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeletehow sweet. makes for a lovely vignette....
ReplyDeleteHello Debra,
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed seeing your pretty display of vintage ornaments. Showing them off on pedestals and in the tin containers is such a great idea. Love that glittered baby shoe too.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas……Sarah
Love your shiny brite displays! So cute in the pan! I need more of these ornaments. I used to buy them so cheap but not any more. I now wish I hadn't used so many of them to make a wreath. I didn't even put my wreath up this year....could not figure out where to put it and I wished I'd had the ornaments to put in a bowl.
ReplyDeleteRita's cute tart pan pedestals were in somebody else's hands when we went into her booth at Vintage Marketplace. I was bummed. They were so cute and perfect for a project I have. I'm keeping my eyes open for tart pans now!
ReplyDeleteVintage perfection! Love the displays:) Have a blessed day dear Debra, BIG HUGS!
ReplyDeleteLove this Debra. The tart pedestals are an amazing idea. Merry Christmas enjoy with your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteKris
How clever! You decorate so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was flipping through Artful Blogging, back to front, and saw a dining room
that I instantly realized was yours. Sure enough.....!!! It made me feel like I knew you
to recognize your home right away! It was a lovely article.
I come visit more often than you'd know, and I apologize for not leaving comments more often Debra!

Debra, it's perfect! I remember that tart pan display. I pinned it and now I pinned yours. Such a cute idea. I do have a tart pan. May need to be put on a pedestal next year. Have a joyous Christmas!
ReplyDeletehugs,

I absolutely LOVE your cake pedestals! I see these tins often and never thought to use them this way. I won't be passing up the next few that I find! Everything is just beautiful!
