In the kitchen,
the hood above the stove
has a very narrow ledge on it.
So.....

on a narrow ledge
at Christmastime?

are best to find

What a great way to decorate what appears to be a challenging space. Looks great Alison. I do have a few of these sweet little trees but probably not enough to consider them a collection.

Hi darling, I love your collection of trees, I've gone over the top for little trees, your ledge is perfect for these beauties. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteThat's a smart way to decorate that narrow space, Alison. I just love those little trees. I have some of the regular old bargain store kind and use them in vignettes. The painting is cute. Love Santa's sparkling boots.

Every time I see those bottle brush trees, I want to pick one up. They have them in assorted colors too. Your decorating looks wonderful, and I really like that painting. Enjoy the season, my friend.

I don't collect these now but they were adorable additions to my dollhouse at Christmastime when I was little.
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering the giveaway. Don't miss another on my blog later this week.
I love them and these would be soooo much easier to set up then my christmas village. I think I need to start a collection :)
ReplyDeleteAlison,
ReplyDeleteBottle Brush trees are some of my favorite things and yours are in the perfect place! They look wonderful above the stove. It's always fun to look for vintage Christmas during the year! You're right about the remembering part, that's the hardest!
Merry Christmas

Your kitchen is special any day but the little trees do enhance it. I have one vintage bottle brush tree and it is big and very pretty. I am looking for more vintage Christmas everything.
ReplyDeleteHey Girl! Love the trees up there on your hood ledge! I really like that wreath. I haven't seen anything like that before. Have a great Christmas! I'd love for you to check out the Glitter house I made here... http://vickidesigner.com
ReplyDeleteI have seen these little trees on Etsy...I just love them. Your collection is in the perfect spot. You couldn't have found a better wreath too. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteLove your forrest over the stove, and what a great display ledge. I also am in love with your plaid lunch boxes. laurie
ReplyDeleteI love your range hood. It's perfect for your tree display. I only have about 5 and I know they are old but there are so many new ones out there. Any hints for telling the difference?
ReplyDeleteI love bottle brush trees...what a great addition to your kitchen! Perfect Christmas vingette!
ReplyDeleteLove the bottle brush trees all grouped together. I have just a few, but will be gathering more.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have a case of bottle brush tree/wreath envy. LOVE your collection on the range hood. Did you stick them on with glue dots?
