Multiple parties in one ! – It is getting too close to Christmas and I am crazy busy – this will probably be one of my last postings for December.
This poor Christmas tree was at the thrift store yesterday…until I rescued it for 1/2 price at $ 1.99. It was missing some sparkles – so I stopped off at Hobby Lobby and bought a pack for $1.79 – I have loads left over for other projects. I set the tree on a silver tray , on top of a small glass cake server. I filled the tree with ornaments from the thrift store. I really wanted some soft aqua ones but, couldn’t find any….I used dusty pink & soft blue and it looks o.k. but, not my first choice. When you shop at the thrift store you have to deal with the cards you get. Don’t worry, I will keep going back until I find those aqua colored ornaments…
Here are some pictures of the tree with missing sparkles ……
See I left the tag on the tree so you can see the price ( I paid 1/2 )
Homer Laughlin Romance china – from the thrift store a couple of weeks ago….
Happy Holidays to you and your family !

Kammy,
This tablescape is stunning! I love how you dressed up that tree and filled it with ornaments and the place settings are gorgeous. Enjoy your holidays and I look forward to more of your wonderful ideas and photos after Christmas.

Good Morning Kammy...
Sweetie I love this little tree, and that tablescape is just absolutely gorgeous.
I have never seen a tree like that. Once you put in the stones it came back to life. I just love it. I was thinking about those aqua ornaments. Why don't you just spray paint them and get the blue that you want? Or take the white ones, and diamond dust with a blue dusting? A thought anyway.
Have a beautiful day sweetie. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
What a beautiful table! I love the color scheme!
What an amazing transformation and the pastel colors are gorgeous. Really beautiful. The china is so lovely and I too would have snapped that up in a flash. Thanks for sharing!

Such a pretty table!! Pastels are my absolute favorite, and your tree just makes everything look so calm and yet festive. Hope that makes sense. I love the idea of the diamond dust glitter ornaments. More sparkles!! Peace to you and your family this holy season of our Savior's birth.
I would have never thought to fill the center with anything. That is just one of the reasons why I come by here. You always have the best ideas.
Well if you disappear for a bit I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas filled with peace, love and joy.
Hi Kammy. Well that's just the cutest thing. And what an great price. I never would have thought to do the tray and filling it with ornaments. I probably would have passed it by but now that I see what you did, I would have jumped on it.
Merry Christmas & Hugs...Tracy :)
Kammy~~

Oh, Kammy! This little tree is gorgeous! How wonderful you found this and were able to add those little pretties! I love how you filled it up with balls and your tablescape matches! You're good, Dear One.

I love the pink and blue and white - stunning.
You've got such a great imagination, Kammy! I love how you fixed that tree and then filled it with those ornaments, and then set it on that cake server. It looks fabulous, and so does the rest of the tablesetting!
Merry Christmas!

I feel like the gingerbread man myself - I'm running as fast as I can. It is crazy, isn't it - last week was party week around here. This week I hope to clear up all of the loose ends, and be ready to celebrate Christmas week. Your table is beautiful - I love the sophistication and color. Take care and Merry Christmas to you and yours. Sally
How festive, delicate and beautiful! Enjoyed it all, Kerrie

Hi Kammy, you really did some magic on that tree, it's gorgeous! And I told you I have those plates, didn't I? I must have had them for a at least a year but I have not used them and I really like them. Aren't they pretty and so dainty? I love the runner, it matches so perfectly. I gotta find me one too, lol. You have set a beautiful table!...Christine
Gorgeous, Kammy! The whole table setting is divine!!
You did a great job of decorating the tree. Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!!

Hugs, Rhondi
Your pictures are awsome! Enjoyed all your decorations:)
What a beautiful find and it certainly came to the right home! I love what you did with that little tree.
Lovely photos!
You are so clever! I would have not given the little metal tree a second look! But look how gorgeous it is now. I love the colored balls you used but you're right aqua would be prettier!
Kammy, what a perfect find for the center piece of this table. Your china and textiles are stunning with this. It is all so elegant. Great job! ~ Sarah
Everything is just beautiful! I'm with you. I'm going to have to check out for awhile too...just too much to get done!
Have a wonderful Christmas filled with love and joy!

Kami,
The silver, pink, and blues are so pretty. As always, I so enjoyed your photography. Merry Christmas!
I love your tree filled with ornaments. You are right, the blue ornaments would look beautiful in there especially with your dishes.
I was laughing as I scrolled down your page, I have those Nutcrackers from JoAnns and I also have the Oneida Snowman plates from Kohls. I bought them last year after Christmas and love them.
Re: My ring tree on my Jim Shore blog: I bought that tree at HomeGoods for $17 and everyone loves it!
Wow, Kammy, that is a stunning table! I love that the main elements are from the thrift store...the colors are just beautiful. You did good, girlfriend! Thanks for sharing...Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and yours.
wow your pictures are just beautiful, those dishes are so darned pretty, love them, I love the deal you always find at the thrift stores, wow you are an awesome shopper....
Outstanding tablescape, Kammy!!! You did a fabulous job with all your wonderful thrify finds. The china is beautiful.
I ♥ your flatware, too....very pretty, Hon. GREAT JOB!!
I forgot to say "Merry Christmas" to you & yours!
So pretty - this could be in a magazine! What a sweet little tree you brought back to beauty! All so pretty at your house!
Kammy, this does seem outside your normal color pallet, but I LOVE it! Wonderful table! Merry Christmas!
Ahhh...the perfect color combination. Sigh...
Happy Holidays!
Living it up at Lakewood,
Cindy
Lovely table. Have a great day!
That tree is GORGEOUS!! I love it! What an amazing find!
Awesome, Beautiful, and Inspiring. Love your post today. Thanks so much for sharing its beauty and creativity with the rest of us.
Enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!!!
Kammy - the tree is fabulous. Love, love love it! Great job xoxo Nancy
I love the soft, glowing colors of your tablescape. So pretty -
Hi Kammy,
So many beautiful pieces ... acquired at such great prices! The soft pastels are soothing and lovely, and your photographs show them off to perfections.
Happy Holidays!
Bill
Looks Great. Funny those colors are so back in style and look so retro!
Kammy, how pretty this is! And to think it all came from the thrift store. Your china and the tree are so pretty. You have created such elegance for so little money! laurie
Oh my that is beautiful!!!!
Kammy,
What a beautiful table you have created. I love how the colors in the tree coordinate with the colors in the tree, you had a vision. I too love thrift shops, these shops have the best items for transformation and the low prices are the best.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy holidays.
Michele
Kammy, this may sound ridiculous, but I've never thought of the fact that I could replace missing gemstones. I've seen multiple things in thrift stores or on clearance racks and just passed them by--when they could be saved! Thanks for the inspiration. And merry Christmas!
How simply stunning - but I swear - when I saw your blog title about your "last post" I thought you meant forever or something!! Glad I read that wrong!
Happy Holidays to you and your family and I'll see you next year!
How beautiful!!! I just love it...the dishes, the colors, the heckuva find tree! It all comes together perfectly. Enjoy the holidays and I look forward to new posts in the new year!
Jane Grant Carter
What a precious tree! And at a great price. Merry Christmas and I look forward to your posts next year.
