I wanted to have a whimsical Christmas tree in
my kitchen this year.
I used branches and dried some oranges.
During the day, the sunlight makes the oranges
look like stained glass.
I put them in a vintage silver ice bucket
with some freshly picked pomegranates.
I added little lights that are battery
operated all over the branches.
I glittered some old vintage silverware and cookie cutters. I tied them on the tree with some red and white gingham ribbon.
I had to add a little Paris candle to the vignette!
Wishing you all
a Whimsical Christmas!

ReplyDeleteOh my is right!! What a gorgeous kitchen tree!! Love the glitter dipping and orange garland. The silver bits are perfect too. Lovely features and thanks for hosting, as always! xo
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen tree. For a few years, when we lived in snow country, my fellow snowshoe-ers and I would decorate a tree for the birds in the forest. We made seed and suet dishes out of grapefruit halves, cut and dried oranges like you did, strung cranberries for a garland and filled pine cones with peanut butter. We had to carry a ladder in with us, so that we could keep some bird treats out of easy reach of small ground animals and dogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting and bringing back those lovely memories.
