ViNtaGe BLUE Bottle Brush Tree ViGneTTe for CHriStMaS...

 ~*SHaBBy  Blue  ViNtaGe  CHriStMas*~

-THIS * YEAR-  in-our-wisconsin-home...

It's been *YEARS* since I've displayed my ViNtaGe Christmas Blue Bottle Brush Trees and "Go-With" Adornments!!!  I started collecting these (less commonly seen) shabby blue christmas beauties when I lived "Out-West" in California & Nevada...   This "LOOK" isn't everyone's "cup-of-tea" ~ but this year I just wanted something ~*FreSh & BriGHt* for our "Seasonal Vignette Area" in-our-home...   After All, - it's a BLUE CHRISTMAS in a sense, - with ALL the CRaZZzzzyness Going On with the 2020 Pandemic!!! 

Not all the BLUE ViNtaGe TREES are Bottle Brush...

Center Tree is Tinsel, with folding branches, which I like for storage.  

The bottom has a paper Made-In-Japan Label...

ViNtaGe Creamy Oyster-White Bottle Brush Wreath,

Embellished with *ViNtaGe Finds*!*!*!

LoVe the SPaRKle & BLinG with hints-of-blue...

I love incorporating "ViNtaGe ADVERTISING" in my vignettes!

~* SNOW BIRD WAX TIN *~  

LoVe that *this-one* had so much going for it!!!

SNOW - connects with the season...

BIRD GRAPHICS - makes my heart pitter-patter, even on the cap...

Colors & Time-Worn PaTiNa is just the way I like it!!!
