Vintage Tree
For the last Vintage Thingies of the year I wanted to show you my Vintage Rhinestone Christmas Tree.
Every pin is an old one from someone I know~ sister, friends, aunts. Each one of them is so pretty and makes me think of the person who gave it to me. 
It is about 15 inches square and I pinned them to the red fabric and then framed them in a deep frame.
I used to wear them once in a while but this way I bring them out once a year and they are a treat that means so much to me.
Happy New Year to you and yours! Have a safe and healthy holiday!

I don’t really care for rhinestones, but I love your display of them.

What a great idea – do you keep it like this all year round or just for Christmas?

Just for the holidays, Evelyn.

What a wonderful idea! It is a beautiful piece and it’s even more special because you know who once wore all of the rhinestone pieces. I love it.

Well now we will all have to start a collection of pins so we can use your great idea.
It is really nice that you do have a personal connection to all of the pins that you used though.

That is really pretty! I remember my Mom or Grandma having a tree that was made from vintage jewelery too.
Happy New Year!
