This year, I wanted to try to do something different with the Christmas tree. I usually do a very traditional one, with ornaments that I received from my grandma over the years. My grandma, and my granpa when he was alive, made us ornaments every year up until just a few years ago. I would say I have about 25 made by them. As much as I love them, I wanted to do something a little different this time around.
I love this blue/turquoise/aqua color mixed with whites and silvers. And having the green background really adds to it! I picked up a lot of different ornaments in these colors and even used some that I already had.
This summer, I picked up some vintage glass balls at a yard sale. There were two boxes that had mostly these blue ones. There were a few gold and silver ones as well. Can you tell how the paint is chipping off? Makes them look so old and beautiful!
There were 2 ornaments that had little Christmas scenes in them. This green one (which doesn't really match my tree, but I wanted to hang it on there anyway, is in the back where it isn't seen!) has a candy cane, some holly and snow.
This blue one has a snowman (I think that is what it is supposed to be!) holly and snow. He has eyes and a hat, but no nose, so it is kind of hard to tell what he is! But he is still very vintage and cool looking!
I love this pretty white ornament. This one is from the Dollar Tree. It has a pretty filligree design with lots of white glitter and a pretty crystal haning off the bottom.
I really like the way that my tree turned out this year. It is definitely Christmas at our house!

Hi Trisha, I love your tree and the glass balls are wonderful, you picked great colors to use this years! I have a few of the old vintage glass balls too and every yr. hubby ask why I don't paint them then since the old paint is cracked and chipped and every yr. my mouth drops open with "ARE YOU CRAZY!" he just doesn't get my love of vintage!
