TOPPING OUT FOR CHRISTMAS!

I am a bit "over the top" with my collection of

antique tree toppers

I usually display them on brass candlesticks with 

a string of white lights and greenery.

This year...I put them ALL in a tree to

light up a corner in a dark hallway.

I began by wrapping the branches to hold

the toppers in place

 and added my collection of Faeries

and butterflies

This obsession began with this 50s 

red tree topper stuffed with white fiber and little bells

 It belonged to my mother-in-law, June Murphy

Let me share a few more of my faves!

Look closely this blue topper has a gold scene

of Bethlehem and the Wisemen on their Camels

My BFF Shirley, gave me this antique Santa...

(and I still can't believe it because she collects

SANTAS and TOPPERS)

Look at that face!

Shirley and I were antiquing when I found

this gold harp topper...wrestling match ensured

...it's on my tree!  

This glass topper, newer in age, was a gift,

but oh how it glistens

This red topper reminds me of one we had

when I was a little girl

I wonder what this faerie is thinking?

My Christmas Bargello Wall Hanging 

makes a nice addition to the corner.

 Next time you see a beautiful tree topper...

I hope you think of me!
