It all started with this:
I have been in a fever to use one of these fabulous pink jumbo triple indent Polish ornaments as the centerpiece for a wreath.
And here ’tis:
A phantasmagoria of a wreath in luscious pinks, both hot and cool at the same time. It has blues and soft whites mixed in to sweeten the palette. There are so many treasures making up this wreath. Let’s look a bit closer.
On the top is an arrangement of fantastic stuff: an adorable aqua & pink Putz house with a frolicking reindeer on the roof and an old figural blown glass Santa centered on a light reflector. Underneath Santa, we have a sweet Jewlbrite diorama.
And on the top right is another jumbo Poland ornament, this one a teardrop in pink and white with a gold painted floral decoration. Further on down are lots of wonderful balls in cool tones. There is a Junior Achievement corsage at bottom right. It was still in its original wrapper.
A comprehensive view of the wreath’s bottom half. I really love the hot pink Shiny Brite ball that has the bell and “Christmas Greetings” stenciled on it.
Here is a closer view of the top. I had a hard time giving up that tiny hot pink ball with the chartreuse indent. It’s German, incidentally.
This is a close up featuring that sweet corsage and the pink Shiny Brite. But there is also that wonderful scenic ball with the church on it nestled next to another Polish teardrop indent.
It is hard to single out the treats when there are so many. I really like the creamy Merry Christmas ball . That’s a great striped Shiny Brite indent right next to it.
And here is that showstopper of an ornament that first got me going. It is way bigger than my hand. That’s vintage aluminum garland dripping out from behind it with a hot pink pick to complete the statement.
I’m going to leave you with a final super close-up of old Santa, his reindeer, and the house they are visiting on Christmas Eve. Look, it is even decked out with a tiny wreath to welcome us in.
“Think Pink” measures about 20″ in diameter but that does not include the drippy stuff or the picks which stick out in several spots. I think she is a stunner and I can’t wait to see her hanging in someone’s home for Christmas this year. Perhaps yours?
