Growing up, we always had a cute Christmas tree in each bedroom. I always loved that tradition, and I loved that each tree could be customized to each of us. One of the things that I always wanted on the tree was a pretty angel. I am thinking that I need to start a vintage tree angel collection! Stormie has a really pretty one, and I just got one this week for $.75. I love each of these from Etsy:
Darling angel from Kitsch Cafe
Redhead in red! From Lr Monkey Toes (for some reason, the face of this angel reminds me of my cousin Elise!)
Gold beauty with halo from rewanted
The funny thing is, I wouldn’t want to put any of these on top my tree. They’re much too pretty to be out of immediate eyesight. What’s on top of your tree?

I have a santa hat on ours this year. The old star’s cone that attached to the top of the tree cracked, th star my mom gave me won’t stay upright, and the angel my grandma gave me looks better on my desk than the tree.

I’ll have to send you a picture of it. My angel is about 18 inchestall and is covered in cream colored velvet and lots of feathers. It’s so over the top that I love it!

That white stuff around the bottom angel is “angel hair,” a very big deal in the 1970’s and it was actually “spun glass,” and we were all quite awed by it as how if we handled it incorrectly, we might be shredded to death by the glass cutting us. Hahahahaha! My 1964 angel is on the tree, loved and displayed annually for all these years, first grandma, now me, then?… :)
