Hidden Christmas Beauty


I thought my Christmas decorating was complete! Have you ever done this....................opened the door to a little storage/hiding place only to discover more beauty?

Yesterday, while searching for something while packing my travel bag, I found these perfectly lovely trees staring back at me from the cupboard of a little hallway table. Oh yes, I do remember buying them early in the year, knowing they'd be perfect for this Christmas. Tucked them away in the cabinet as I didn't want to crawl through the attic to stuff them in the monstrous green storage boxes.


I thought these filigreed trees very lovely topped with stars. Their soft patina is similar to mercury glass, but with a matte rather than shiny finish. I'm so happy I found them in time!

  1. The trees are lovely, Mary. I am finding things packed in my holiday boxes that I forgot I bought after Christmas! Nice surprises!

    Have a safe and fun trip! :-)

  3. They are perfect there! I love surprises....

    I finally posted pictures of our finished master bathroom. The only thing we don't have finished is hanging the chandelier, but Kent still has to rewire it. I think it is getting put up right after Christmas.

    Have a safe trip! And tell your sweet husband Hi from us.

  7. I'm so happy that you found your trees in time! I have not done much decorating, but I have a few little things here and there. I am going to do some shopping and sprucing up this evening. Mary, you've inspired me to look for something special while I shop. :)

    Happy Holidays to You and Yours,
    Lynn

  9. Very pretty. I am glad you found them too. Isn't it funny how we tuck things away and find them later.

    Safe and happy travels.

  11. Those trees are absolutely gorgeous. And your photos remind me that I haven't seen my santos for quite some time. Hmm, I wonder where it is . . .
