Update: Congrats to winner Danielle! I went thru the entries, pruned duplicates, spun the random.org random number generator, found a winner, and she emailed me back tout suit. Thanks, everyone, for your lovely comments — and come back soon for more contests and retro fun!
So, I have been in the “let’s do some giveaways” mood. And I was thinking, yes, the holidays are not too far away. And, golly, everyone always goes crazy over Georgia Peachez’ (aka Suzy’s) Shiny Brite wreathes. So I asked Suzy to make one up for me (shown above)… I bought it from her… and it’s sitting on her dining room table itching to go to its new home.

How to make a wreath using vintage Christmas tree ornaments — Suzy’s instructions
I bet we’ll get a lot of entries for this one — and there can only be one winner. So, the idea behind posting this giveaway right now is to remind you creative types to think ahead … make sure you’re collecting a whole bunch of vintage ornies … and gear up to make one of these yourself maybe. I know that in a lot of thrift stores across America, they start pulling out all the vintage ornaments for sale pretty soon. Or, maybe you’ve been collecting them all summer? That said, I know a lot of us *think* we’ll do a project… but never do… so keep an eye on Suzy’s blog because she keeps making wreaths all fall… she posts them for sale… and they sell out fast!
In the following super-popular story, Suzy showed us how she does it — how to make a wreath out of vintage Christmas tree ornaments:
Thank you, Suzy — you are such an inspiration!

I have a huge collection of vintage Christmas, but that would be the icing on the cake!
Meg says
That wreath would look amazing in my place! I’m not a homeowner but I love looking at Retro Renovation for inspiration for bringing some vintagey decor and improvement to my (rented) home. Thanks for all of the inspiration and hard work!
Nate says
That wreath would look perfect on my new ranch rental that I get the keys for in 6 days!
Rebecca@MidcenturyModernRemodel says
That wreath is fabulous. I will keep a look out for any that go up for sale as well!

I’ve admired her wreaths for a few years now, whoever wins will be lucky to own her beautiful work.

Vicki says
Oh I love this wreath! So much better than those lame mesh ones that are out now. Pick me! yay!
Lynne says
Beautiful. I shudder to think what the end result would be if I ever attempted my own version.

It’s still over 90 degrees outside, but this makes it feel like Christmas!
