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!

What a great giveaway! So excited. I recently purchased my grandmother’s 1950s ranch and redoing it to bring it back to life. Love this blog to find inspiration.

I’ve seen this wreath before and just absolutely love it, I would try my hand at making one myself but I don’t think I have the patience to collect all those antique ornaments. I would LOVE to win it!

It brings back all the joy of Christmas when I was a child. Back when it was about decorations, cookies and family. All that glittered and shined and the excitement waiting for Santa ! This wreath shows it all! I love it.
Kara says
Pick me! Pick me! Seriously, just looking at these wreathes via the internet is an experience–I can’t imaging having one in my own home! Congrats to whichever Retro-lovin’ lady or gent wins! 🙂
