O Christmas tree…O Christmas tree…
I found this darling little silver tinsel tree the other day.
It looked so lonely when I found it, sitting on the shelf…
waiting for someone to love it.
It’s wee feathery branches of tinsel holding brightly colored
ornaments and lights
I am not a tree with colored lights kind of girl…
I am not even a tinsel kind of girl…
I think that’s why my husband looked at me like I was insane when I found this cutie
and put it into my cart.
I love it’s vintage feel- and a but of glitzy glam too!
I kind of like the lights-
the colors add a bit of cheer to my bathroom at night but it would be easy enough to change them
as well as find some delightful white bulbs to decorate it.
I took the plastic stand off and placed it in this vintage chicken wire basket
filled with shells and ornaments.
A tiny charming starfish makes for the perfect topper!
It kind of reminds me of a little Charlie Brown type tree-
and my husband says it reminds him
of the tree I picked out the first Christmas we were together.
I picked a small little feathery, scraggly one…
So cute!
Sparse little branches, dainty in size and so much charm!
I loved it!
This little guy is just about 3 feet tall.
The perfect size for the little chest that sits between the sinks in my bathroom.
it was the display at 30% off for $14.00
with sparkly lights and little ornaments included.
Loving it.
An ornament wreath on the mirror above my tub and a few shiny ornaments to the chandelier…
bring a little Christmas cheer to my bathroom!

Sometimes adding something different can make all the things we've used often look different too. Good for you going for the little tinsel tree.

I keep seeing these trees, which remind me of one my Grandma had on a table in front of her living room window. I always remember that tree and it brings back so many wonderful memories. I think I need to find one now, for myself. I love your creative container…that is so cute! The tree is so festive, so sparkly and pretty.
Thank you Courtney, for featuring me in this post.

Hi Courtney,
I love your little tinsel tree. Last year I purchased a champagne colored tinsel tree. They're to cute! The branches are spaced far apart which is more appealing than my kind of bushy tinsel tree. I hear ya on not liking colored lights or tinsel. lol. Normally I don't either but exceptions have to be made when it's actually cute.
Now I love that your Feathered Nest Blog Button matches my blog!!! 😀

Hi Courtney ~ Your Sweet Little Silver Tinsel Tree, is the BEST ~ I Love it…. I sure wish they still had those at Target…… I think it would have been in My Shopping cart Too!
