Vintage Inspiration Friday #15 Cream and Sugar with that Tree?


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
Vintage Christmas Inspiration
Please grab the button and have a link in your post
so others can come join the fun!



Im also linking with these Holiday Parties
















Thank you so much!!
for each of you that left your camera advice on my last post
I have a little better idea of what I need to do now.

love y'all!
Debra

  9. 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.
    Blessings to you today

  18. Debra,
    Your 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!

    xo,

  34. 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!

  35. Hi Debra, I luv the tree it look's beautiful. And the rest of the vignette looks so pretty. Thank You for hosting today.....Julian

  36. Debra 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!

    I 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
