Thyme to decorate the tree! Mr Farmhouse (Dave) suggested we do a full size Vintage tree this year! Since being in Florida, we have been doing a coastal theme on our main tree:

Where Do We Put the Christmas Tree?

and a much smaller Vintage table top tree:

Let’s Get Started Decorating the Tree with Vintage Christmas Ornaments!

Dave did the initial fluffing out in the lanai while I gathered the ornaments, ribbon and garland.

Once Dave had the tree all fluffed and had added the lights, I started adding the hot pink ribbon streamers.

I made a large bow and added 7 ribbon streamers.  The number of streamers would depend on how large your tree is.  This is a 6 ft artificial tree.

After adding the lights and the ribbon, we brought it inside to finish decorating it!

Ready To Add The Decorations

Many of the pink vintage ornaments belonged to my Mom.  She purchased them in Chicago at Marshall Fields in the early 60s.  Most of the other glass ornaments I have collected over the years.

Pictured below is a portion of my collection.  I was trying to organize them after Christmas one year.  I thought it would be fun to organize them by color.  It wasn’t…..

In addition to the glass ornaments, I added beaded garland, a few floral picks and some silk flower heads.

The tiny pink baby shoes were mine as a baby.  If you have been following the blog, you already know my Mother saved practically everything!  If you are just getting started with my blog journey, you can read more about my Mom and her propensity to save things here:    She used to tell people to check with her first before purchasing something as she probably had what they were looking for!  And a lot of the time, she did!

The only non vintage ornaments we added where the ceramic ones with our dogs’ names on them.

I love the tiny white bells that are attached to the bead garland.  They are so precious!
