Vintage Christmas Mantel
When I think of Christmas, I think of glitter and sparkle … the way pure white snow sparkles in the sun.
I love color at Christmas, including silver and gold.
I found some beautiful, blingy holiday pieces to create a vintage Christmas mantel.
I’m sharing my holiday mantel today along with some of my blogging friends.
Links to their Christmas mantels are at the end of this post.
I have always loved these sparkly Putz houses and finally found some at half price.
All the glitter makes the little house look like it’s dusted with sparkly snow.
A bottle brush wreath with glitter ornaments seemed like the perfect addition against my penmanship poster.
A silvery sparkle leaf garland adds a bit of bling to the barn wood shelf.
Glass blown pine cone ornaments hang over the side with the sparkly garland.
I found this pretty, script Christmas star edged in gold glitter at Home Goods to adorn the vintage Christmas mantel.
A glittery white owl and reindeer candlesticks keep watch at one end …
… while a glittered Putz church keeps watch at the other end.
I found a set of 5 of these reindeer candlesticks at the flea market.
To add a bit of Christmas green, I layered a penmanship poster over a wooden print.
Thanks for stopping by to visit my vintage Christmas mantel!

Thanks, Laura! I was looking for a Christmas poster and couldn’t find one. Then I realized the green on this poster would work. Sometimes you just have to improvise. 😉
