You may remember this little beauty from here.
Or, as I like to say, Best. Yard Sale Find. EVER.
So this was the "before". Already pretty cool.
Stella thinks so too. At one point she jumped from the couch right into it. I expect it to be on the ground, with something shattered, almost every morning.
Good thing I have plenty of Shiny Brites®.
Yep, just fabulous pink ornaments, in all shades and sizes. Some striped, some indents, some teardrops, some with written sentiments.
So here comes the big reveal.
In the daylight…
And sparkling in the evening, without any lights on it!
I LOVE THIS TREE!
I love your fun and quirky Christmas style! Though I am still more red and green than pink and silver, you might like to see my fun vintage Christmas post on my FB page. Look for the big plastic elf face at Final Touches Redesign. Merry Christmas!

Gina your Tree is STUNNING....Love....LOVE....L-O-V-E how you've dressed her simple in red....**wink**....!!
I SQUEAKED out loud when I saw the 'Little Miss' though in the middle of your ornaments....I'm YET to decorate our tree 'cause I'm worried about Hartley (aka DIABLO Kerplonk....!!!!!) doing that EXACT same thing to my Shiny Brites....!!!!!
I'll be sure & keep the camera ready to show you when I take the plunge....!! Wish me LUCK....And PATIENCE....!
Cheers,
Tamarah xx

Gorgeous!! I just bought my first vintage aluminum tree at a bargain price and can't wait to decorate it with all the Shiny Brites I've collected for years. Happy Sparkly Chistmas!!

I agree that pink and silver make a beautiful combination!

I love this!!

I sold one once and will never forgive myself. An aluminium tree is at the tippy top of my list of stuff to find in dark, dank, dingy basements. I will prevail!
Yours is gorgeous and I hate you.

I'm so happy that you found the tree you were searching for AND that it was a bargain. That is why I just love thrifting, you never know what you are going to find. When I was younger, my cousins had a tree like this, complete with the rotating light. It was too weird for me back then, but I would put it up in my house. Isn't it funny how our tastes change?

I'm on the hunt for one of these beauties, but don't want to pay the crazy prices some people are asking.
