Holiday sparkle...



gold tone 18" sequins cone tree found at T. J. MAXX for $9.99...




embellishment needed...





gold thread, vintage jewels, beads and buttons are gathered for inspiration...


& an old brass candlestick is beginning to look like a pedestal stand




progress is being made




{ actually it's not finished,

I just wanted to get the post up to inspire others,

while they could still find the cone tree }

    Thank you Anestazia,
    And just a little note to your followers,
    they may still be able to find the trees at TJMaxx,
    Home Goods or Marshall's { as they are all owned by the same co.}
    and it was a recent purchase
    They come in an array of different colors !
    How fun !
    { email if you have questions }

    It's not? finished? It looks so beautiful! Love that you embellished it, I would have never thought to do that. But it took it from an ok background piece to a show stopper. Amazing.

    Oh it is GORGEOUS!
    It might even motivate me to get out of my fuzzy slippers and into real shoes, and out to TJ Maxx -- which is right around the corner!

    Fabulous idea -- beautifully executed. Thanks!
