Time To Decorate the Christmas Tree!


This week we will each be taking a turn adding to our Christmas Tree..But before we start decorating here is a link to some history about the Christmas Tree.

                  The Christmas Archives

I found some wonderful tree toppers to share with you, but a word of warning...if you see something you love...buy it now!  Many of the ones I found sold before I could use them in this article...they are a hot item this time of year!

Our family tree is topped with a felt angel I made several years ago...but if you need a new one, let me show you what I found.

If the traditional is what you want look at this vintage mercury glass topper from Aunt Sues Vintage...

   Mercury Glass Vintage Tree topper

         Hallmark Angel Tree Topper

The most popular toppers are Angels....like the one above from designer2.... and stars....I found this wonderful hand crafted star in cnash12's shop.

                Star Tree Topper

If the rustic nature looks works best for you, how about this bird on twigs that lintandlavender has in their shop?

Hand sewn Wool Felt Bird and Tree Topper


I love this whimsical red nose reindeer I found in millercampbell...wouldn't this be the perfect topper on a tree?

           Folk Art Red Nose Reindeer

For those of you who are nostalgic for the mid-century period and remember the aluminum trees...look what I found!  This would be perfect on your tree, it is waiting for you at Ormolou....


I have not neglected those who like a modern, trendy look....dwarfstardesign is the shop you want to look in!

   Iridescent Acrylic Sunburst topper

I hope these suggestions get you started...just click on the name under each photo to be taken to the shop :)  Have fun and find something wonderful that will start a tradition at your house!
