I put every one of my trees out this year!!!

There's just something about V*I*N*T*A*G*E  that makes them so special!!!
Each One Tells-A-SToRy...
Character, Patina, Imperfections, Time period,
 Whose table has it been on,  Where did they live,
 What store was it purchased in, etc...
AND then there's "my story" of where I netted it as well...

It's such a plus finding Vintage Bottle Brush Trees 
STILL WITH THEIR ORIGINAL LABEL!*!*!
It also drives the price up...
Made-In-Japan, Napco Co.,
& Original Store Price Sticker is *~My FaVoRiTe~*

I search all year long for
 Vintage BiRdiE STRING LIGHTS!!!
Since my tree is white, & their electric cording was green,
I opted "To Just Hang Them" without the lights...
