I replaced the teal colored candles in our dining room (seen here) with vintage ornaments in silver, aqua and blue.
A few years ago we got two big boxes of vintage ornaments for just a few dollars a tag sale in our neighborhood.
I love how the ornaments fit perfectly in the candle holders!
Every corner of our dining room is glittering with Christmas decorations and I can't wait to share more with you all. I just wish we would get some sunny days so photographing everything would be a bit easier!
Last thing, if you follow me on Facebook, you may have already seen our early Christmas present. Introducing.....
...Figaro Newton Santaniello! We are so totally in love with this little shelter cat already and are so thrilled to be giving him a second chance!
Have a great week!

I love how you used the ornaments! They look so great in the candle holders.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the kitty! So cute! Good for you for getting a shelter cat :)
That's a really clever way to use candlesticks. I like the look!
ReplyDeleteThat's a creative way to display your beautiful vintage ornaments!
ReplyDeleteI will admit i plan to steal this idea for next year. I usually just dump my vintage ornaments in a bowl! Love Figaro in his tuxedo fur - how great to give the gift of a home to a shelter animal for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love how you don't even have to put the cande holders away, just put the ornaments in them. And it's also handy to find the ornaments at a tag sale. Very pretty, Angela.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is your new little guy! We had a big gray cat named Figaro when I was growing up. What fun! I love how you grouped your candlesticks. I've seen 2 or 3 with ornaments on top, but in mass they look fantastic! I'm pinning this so I'll remember to do this somewhere.
ReplyDeleteOf what pretty vintage ornaments and such a lovely way to display them!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea, I love the vintage ornaments and the colors are fantastic.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to Figaro! Shelter kitties are the best. Love the old ornaments too : ). Patty/BC
ReplyDeleteLovely vintage ornaments, and congrats on the newest feline member of your family!
ReplyDeleteLovely way to display the ornaments! Figaro will have a ball with them! Oh Dear!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new addition! So wonderful to give him a second chance. And I am loving the vintage ornaments and your novel way to showcase them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea putting the beautiful ornaments on the candlesticks! The very best decoration is a cat and Figaro is a darling. I thought we had already joined your site since you are in our list of Great blogs but I will make sure we join today. We would love it if you would visit us and join us as well.

ReplyDeleteAngela your cat is adorable! I'm a big fan of giving kitties a 2nd chance at life! I love the idea of putting the ornaments on top of candle holders like that...great way to showcase them!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
I love black and white kitties ! Of course, I love them in any color. thank you for giving this lucky guy a forever home. I'm sure he will be eternally grateful! Lucky you !
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of vintage ornaments and now I can't wait to use them with some candle sticks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

I love your vintage ornaments. My family has finally become resigned to me loving old, faded ornaments more than new ones. You just can't find the colors in new ones that you show on top of your candlesticks!
ReplyDeleteOh, Angela, how I love your Christmas gift to yourself (your kitty). Bless you for rescuing and saving a life! I love the blue ornaments too. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeth
p.s. I am getting a puppy for Christmas!
Beautiful, love the color of the blue ornaments, so vintage and so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving a wonderful shelter cat a home. I work on a committee to raise funds for our local shelter. We built a new safe shelter...yeah!
ReplyDeleteAnyway!
Homa Style is having a 12 Days of Christmas link party going on now.

ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to display ornaments! I'm inspired :) I love your wall too. I was contemplating doing that to one of my walls in the hallway but I'm too scared, lol! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteKaren
