An Antique Christmas in Missouri
(Private collection) |
 |
A 5 ft antique
German feather tree in a magnificent German folk art stand.
You can't really see the actual trunk fitting, but it is a paper mache
mountain
with trees and tiny village houses on it and is attached to the fence
base.
It is filled with my favorite and oldest vintage/antique ornaments.

 |
From the 1930's,
a RARE 4 ft PINK feather tree
decorated with vintage/antique
ornaments in bright colors.
In the background a vintage
Santa doll dressed in pink. |
 |
I have never put
my kugels on a tree, they would be lost in the mix.
I like to hang mine in a wall cubby with
fishing line from cup hooks. |
 |
The mantle is
covered in holiday greenery over florists foam blocks.
I used wooden dowel rods inserted into the foam to place each vintage
Christmas tree topper, 45 in all, to make a stunning and colorful display. |
A 4 ft two toned
feather tree displays my collection of vintage clip-on, hanging, and nested
glass bird ornaments.
At the base, an antique German
twig fence with putz and nativity figures. |
 |
 |
This is one of my
favorite feather trees.
I purchased it at a yard sale for the unheard of price of $1.
It is 18" tall and lighted.

 |
A 30" vintage two
toned feather tree in a vintage white picket fence folk art stand.
In the fence is a collection of German foil wrapped chocolate candy store
samples of angels and Santas. |
My 10 ft vintage
ornament tree is filled with hundreds of ornaments and surrounded by vintage
toys.
Friends ask me,
"Do you think you have enough
Christmas?" And of course as most
Christmas
collectors will agree.
My answer is,
"I can never have enough
Christmas!" |
