Yes. This one broke too. Long story. New link posted above! All entries so far count.
I know: According to authentic retro etiquette, it’s way too early to talk Christmas decorations. But if you are thinking about doing fabulous things with vintage Shiny Brite ornaments, you only have so many days left to ornie-hoard and hot-glue. Or… if you know you are never gonna get this crafty yourself — here’s your chance to win our super famous annual giveaway: A vintage Shiny Brite ornament wreath made by the the queen of Shiny Brite crafting, the talented and generous Georgia Peachez. WOOT!
Every year, as a gift to readers, I buy a wreath from Suzy aka Georgia Peachez for this giveaway. Thank you, readers, for being THE BEST. I luv you! Suzy always jumps to help out. She gave me a great price (her wreaths now sell for $250! each!) — and quick as I asked, she made this special wreath just for us. She said:
Pam, I made a wreath with my two favorite elements, a knee hugger elf and a reindeer.
Heck to the yeah, knee hugger elf and reindeer! Thank you, Suzy!

Watching the Rankin/Bass specials- especially Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! I was terrified of the Bumble when I was little. I’m better now 🙂

What’s not not to like about Christmas? Shiny things everywhere!! The wreaths are delightful. Ms Peachez does an amazing job!

My favorite part of the holiday season is having the downtime to spend with my husband, family, and friends. I love to cook holiday meals.
We have more ornaments than we can use, but I’ve just never got this project done.

Isn’t it amazing how a chance to win one of these gorgeous wreaths brings all us lurkers out into the open!! Thanks Pam for doing this every year.

Longtime lurker, first-time commenter. I have very over-the-top taste, and the holidays give me the perfect excuse to bring out MORE red, glitter, kitsch, etc.
Oh, and peppermint in everything. I love peppermint.

My home cries out for one of these wreaths. It would be lovely if I didn’t have to spend the next month combing thrift stores and tag sales for the ornaments to make one. I wonder if I could use this wreath’s charms to lure my brother to your blog and hope that YOU can talk him into not tearing out his fully tiled 40’s mint green bathroom- someone has to.

Pam, I’ve just moved from Australia to USA just so I could enter this competition. I was swooning over these pretties last year when you ran it! (ok, so there were other things that brought me here, but I’m super excited that I can enter now!)
My favourite things about Christmas are the little traditions we’ve created as a family unit. Going and choosing a tree at the same place every year; going into town for lunch, shopping and to see the Christmas windows in the large department store in my home town, decorating the tree and house with lots of pretty old and new ornaments. This year we will continue from those traditions here, finding somewhere new to buy our tree, shop for gifts for each other and our loved ones and get into the spirit of Christmas. 🙂

I love the cozy feeling of the holidays….snow outside, but warm inside with my daughter. Her love for all things Christmas is infectious. Even when I’m feeling a little bah humbug, she makes this time of year joyful. 🙂

Being able to spend time with family that we don’t usually get to see during the rest of the year

These wreaths are beautiful. The vintage ornaments are beautiful.
Great Memories. I have one of those Elves that is displayed on one of the wreaths. Got it as a school grab gift. Mine is Gold.
That would have been the 60’s.
I even saw them listed I think in the Vermont
Country Store catalog last year. Those beautiful shiny ornaments bring you back to another time. I still have some from my childhood I bring them out and put them in a large old mixing bowl
with the old metal cookie cutters.
