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!

I can’t wait to dig through all the Christmas decorations that were my Husbands Grandmothers and decorate my new house with all of them for the first time. I have always loved to have the house all decorated like when I was a child.

Funny how one thing can start a flood of warm memories…that little knee hugging elf. Mmmmmm.

This is beautiful! I would love to have one. I also have a nice collection of Shiny Brites that decorate my aluminum Christmas tree! This would be a wonderful addition to my collection! Thanks for the chance to win.

I love that, at least during this time of year, people try to treat one another better and help one another. I also love giving gifts and making people feel special. One of my other favorites is decorating. Love the tree, the lights, the ornaments.

I have lived in our 1950 ranch for 30 years. I began collecting old Shiny Brite ornaments the year I got married. I now have about 700 of them. Every Christmas, I carefully hang all of them on a fresh Frasier Fir tree. Having been born in 1952, I obviously grew up in a time when the world was a much simpler place.These beautiful old ornaments take me back to that time.

My favorite part of Christmas is knowing that the days will start to get longer again soon. I like to be with my family and just relax. I love shiny brite ornaments and this wreath is beautiful! And, while I am at it, I love this blog and learn new things on it all of the time, thanks so much!

I love decorating the tree with my collection of vintage Shiny Brite ornaments while Bing Crosby croons on the record player. 🙂

my favorite part about the holidays is having the family all together, making christmas cookies with my kids and grandma, going to church on Christmas Eve, singing Christmas carols and decorating the tree with the kids and looking at the ornaments we’ve collected over the years

My favorite Christmas memories are decorating the tree with the family’s vintage ornaments (including Shiny Brites!) with my momma’s favorite Christmas Elvis music in the background! It doesn’t get any better than that.

Primo best about the holidays is wrapping gifts quietly while the bambinos are trying to fall asleep. Secundo favorito is setting up my grandmas aluminum Christmas tree!!
