My "Peace" Christmas Tree

I finally finished decorating

my Christmas Tree! 

This year I decided

not to put all the ornaments

on the tree,

and kept it simple. 

I chose a silver and gold

color palette,

and a "Peace" theme.

 

Shopping at the $.99 store,

I found these cute little peace plaques.

  At that price, I couldn't resist.

 So, I bought quite a few.  

 I took most of them of their stand

 and wired them to hang on the tree. 

I love the way they look. 

It's my "Peace Tree".

Ta-Da! 

The piece de resistance!

My Beautiful tree.

(Even if I do say so myself...lol)

I bought a miniature silver tea set at a thrift shop and hung the individual pieces from ribbon on the tree

I adore silver tea sets!

I have a couple of

chandeliers on the tree.

They're so sweet.

 My cute snowman.

 

My beaded "cancer" ornaments. 

 I made ten of these when Ed had

cancer.  It kept my me busy.

(it took me 3 hours to complete each one)

Vintage leather books,

my peace sign, bronze baby booties,

a Tibetan meditation bowl,

vintage brass lamp,

and last but not least... 

and a picture of Mum.

 She's not with us this Christmas...

don't worry she's still alive,

she's celebrating

the holidays in Yuma, Arizona.

My French french lamb!

Love my Lamb! ; )

And Vintage corbels.

Antique French Olive pots.

 I was so excited when I got these.

And...not to forget my cloche,

I used the tray from my

 miniature tea set for the base...that was a bonus.

I hung my vintage Sacred Heart

picture for the holidays. 

I collect religious artifacts.

 This is my favorite 

likeness of Jesus!

 (...and Jesus is

the reason for the season...right?...

...at least in this house)

I'm linking up to the following holiday parties.

Come and join the fun!
