Shabby Chic Christmas Wreath


A little sneak peak on something that I am working on.  All year long I shop at estate sales and garage sales and pick up bags of vintage mercury glass ornaments and stash them away.  This year I decided it would be fun to make a shabby chic Christmas wreath out of my favorite vintage ornament colors pink, blue/aqua and silver.  I did this in a matter of a few hours this afternoon when I should have been cleaning since my dad is coming to visit tomorrow.  It isn't finished yet, as I still need to add some more vintage mercury glass ornaments to fill some empty spaces, but its getting there.

I hate to part with this, but it will be for sale next month at Bottoms Up, as I can't keep everything that I make or I would be close to being on Hoarders if I did.  But if it doesn't sell I don't mind using for the upcoming Holiday season either!
