When it comes to holiday decorating, every year is an opportunity for
changing things up, even if they're only subtle touches.
This year I hauled out my usual vintage Christmas treasures, with a few new updates added to the mix. In general, I increased the wattage to make my decor
twinkle, sparkle and shine. And, I always say, the more
glitter, the merrier.
Enjoy!
Parlor:
 |
Live tree imported from South Windsor, CT, approximately 8-ft. tall –
I had to saw about 14" off the bottom so it wouldn't hit the ceiling.
This year I used all C-7 Twinkle and Cool Bright lights
and a plastic light-up angel from the 1950s for the top. |
 |
This year I used my vintage (1920s?) mirror on the mantel.
It originally hung in the sunporch of my grandparents' house.
I also used C-7 Figural lights on the green garland. |
