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!

Oh no!!!! Pam what about your devoted Australian readers? We have Christmas too but in the heat of summer and these gorgeous retro wonders would bring a winter sparkle to our lives in the hot weather. Our supplies of amazing retro wonders are much smaller than those in America, so your blog is an absolute treasure that is top of my reading list everyday. Please can we enter- I will pay the extra postage if I win Pleeeeeease??

Megan says
I’d have a very merry Christmas night,
if my front door was shiny and brite.
Georgia Peachez’ wreath so sweet,
would make my home a retro treat!
NancyE says
What a cheery, beautiful wreath. I’d love to have it brighten up the area over my fireplace this holiday season!

My husband and I are buying our first mid century home… This wreath would look beautiful on our 1958 door!
Good luck everyone 🙂
Jackie says
I absolutely NEED this wreath. I have so many glass ornaments and white lights on my tree that the hubbo claims I’m causing brown-outs and diverting small aircraft whose pilots mistake our house for an airport. If I had an aluminum tree, I’d set fire to the house!
Need a wreath worthy of the tree!
