This is tree number two in the count down to how many trees will I put up and decorate this year. Ten, eleven? not sure yet. I'm still workin' on it!
This vintage aluminum tree is my favorite of all. I purchased this very full, excellent condition tree at the Big Flea in Chantilly, VA about 3 years ago. It came with a musical revolving stand. I actually hesitated before committing to the purchase and now in hindsight, was I crazy? boink! Anywho, thank goodness I went for it and now I have this beautiful tree from the past to display my outstanding vintage mercury glass ornament collection.
Now I will show you some of my beautiful vintage ornies that are on it. I love them all, I can't possibly pick a fav.
Tomorrow, numero tres, The Space Tree. Intrigued ?

Outstanding collection in deed! This is better than my favorite magazines…keep those trees coming. I’m loving it.

When I was younger, I had a friend who had one of these at her house…..I would just sit and stare at it in awe. It had a little spotlight w/ the different colors that would rotate around and make the tree change colors….red, blue, green and yellow…..so pretty. I remember my mom thinking it was GAWDY…..what nerve….we never have had the same decorating style…tee hee.

Those are some truly fabulous ornaments. I wish my vintage ones were in as nice a shape as yours, and that I had some of those really fancy ones. The silver tree really sets them off nicely. Beautiful!!

My grandparents had a tree just like this–seeing yours was a step back in time for me! The similarities between theirs and yours (theirs had a revolving/changing light attached to its base) are so strong–even in how it’s placed in front of your window! Thanks for the trip down memory lane…

My mother had a tree like that way back in the early 60’s. We had the color wheel, too. She had some very beautiful glass ornaments that my grandmother brought with her from Austria in 1914. I don’t know what happened to those ornaments, but sure do wish I had them.
