Christmas Ornament Exchange

This is my third year participating in Vicky Hunt's annual Christmas Ornament Exchange. (Vicky can be found here with all the ornaments!)

Vicky matches each of us to a partner.



One to send a package and one to receive a package.

One day a large box arrived.

I opened it to find two gifts inside.

A lovely note from AnnMarie who blogs at  Musings of a Vintage Junkie .

The first package was this rustic star.

Distressed and rusty.

Jute and jingle bells.

Perfect for my den.

The other package contained one of AnnMarie's snow globes.

Of course the first thing I saw was the bottle brush tree.

Tied with red striped jute webbing and two jingle bells.

And peeking out in the snow was a small fox.

I have a secret obsession with foxes.

Maybe not so secret any more!

The snow globe has found a place in front of the old red barn with some other vintage bottle brush trees.

The star is nestled in a basket until we dig out the trees.

The star will remain on display throughout the year.

Thank you so much, AnnMarie!

AnnMarie and I are not only blog friends, but also Etsy team members.

My ornament box went to Debbie Harris from She Graces Her Home In God's Beauty in Colorado.  I made some ornaments and included some vintage ones.

A huge round of applause to Vicky for doing all the work to make the ornament exchange so much fun!


See y'all!
