ReplyDeleteOoooo hat boxes! It's like a birthday cake christmas tree with a black cherub wearing a gladiator hat on top!
ReplyDeleteSome of those are just bizarre aren't they?

ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeletewhat great decorations.Giving me ideas.I need a star or angel for my try and am shicked that they are no where to be found.I am hoping I will get lucky in the antique stores.xx
ReplyDeleteHa! I like the bare branch tree! I still haven't put up our tree and it's 2 weeks till Christmas! Eeek! If I didn't have a little one I'd say to heck with it but....
ReplyDeleteThe one you like (branch in the pot) reminds me of the German tradition of having a tree branch wrapped in cotton batting..
ReplyDeleteoooh I love them all!
ReplyDeleteLOL- you know some people are already figuring out how to "upcycle" these things for Etsy. You watch- that umbrella/candle thingy will be up for sale any day now!
ReplyDeleteHilarious and fun to see. Thank you.
