Holiday Decor: Baubles + Glass

Thanksgiving has come and gone (and was great!), and here we are in the Holiday season.

As we've been driving around (still on vacation), I've seen so many families out in their yards dressing their homes in pretty lights, wreaths and tinsle. I've seen some not so pretty decorations, too (blow up plastic).

It seems that this week is the week everyone puts out their decorations, so in honor of that I'm going to post my favorite Christmas decorations...

First up is the use of baulb collections as decoration. I just LOVE Christmas baubles and this was how I decided to (simply) decorate last year. Just pop them in glass containers, and done! It's not original, but very classic and simple. (I'm all about simple Holiday decorating).





The best is vintage baubles in vintage bowls.


My pink & red decorations last year

This year, my take on the baubles and glass decorating style is the use of gold ornaments + milk glass bowls.



Like what you see? You can bid on the vintage gold baubles here. If you can get some milkglass with the lace edge, thread gold ribbon through the holes to make your 'arrangement' extra pretty. You can get the curled milk glass piece here. The flat milk glass piece is being sold by one of my favorite bloggers, High Street Market, here.
