Bottle brush Chrismas tree arrangements! Inspired by a childhood love of old timey bottle brush Christmas trees and my collection of mid century ashtrays and darling collectible ceramic pots. Whimsical, romantic, with just a touch of shabby chic, they include antique findings as well as sourced vintage Christmas ornaments(mercury glass) some of which were my Grandmother’s—born in 1895 in Northern Michigan. Fabulous as Holiday centerpieces but a mantle or side table will certainly do! Each is unique. No two are alike and cannot be replicated. Signed and dated on the reverse, many hours are spent building each original arrangement along with love, thought, good will, glue and love.

This Christmas arrangement is in a vintage Salem North Star coffee cup and matching saucer. My Mom collected these back in the 60s at the local grocery store. When your purchase was over a certain amount you could choose a piece of the collection for free. With 5 kids my Mom reached that “certain” amount quite often😊. There’s a decorated bottle brush tree and vintage items that include wooden ornaments (I love the blue wooden angel) and various metal and plastic findings and beads. The glitter balls that rest on the saucer are not attached (see photos) they will be included with the arrangement though. Approx 6” x 10”.

** Vintage, vintage style and new items are used in the arrangements. Vintage items may contain chips or repairs which add charm and whimsy to the items.
