generation to generation, others prefer to change their topper every year.
Some households like to pick a theme for their tree and then find
a tree topper that matches that theme. The most popular toppers are Angels or Stars.
Tree toppers are even used as decorations
over the fireplace or on a dining room table.
This post is really just a quick share with you on how I like to display some
of my Tree Topper collection. I know...... I have too many and the rule is only one per tree !
So it's get more trees or figure out another way to use them.
Bud vases are inexpensive and easy to find. The varying heights give visual interest.
They stand up nicely in bud vases !
You can almost always find Milk Glass or clear glass
Bud Vases when you go Thrifting!
Candle sticks can also be used but I find the vases to be more stable.

What is your family Tree Topper tradition ? Share your story with me.
I guess our family changes our Topper to match our theme. This year I used only my
Putz House collection and a newer house for the Topper.
Thanks for letting me share my decorating idea with you.

I have always found these tree toppers very whimsical. As a child we had an angel on top of the tree, the same angel every year she was a tradition and her name was goldie. It was after I was married that I saw these beauties and have collected a few of my own

We have a star - I've never seen tree toppers like this (maybe Australia is a bit behind the times?) I absolutely love how you displayed them in the little vases - it inspires me to think of different ways to use what's left over from the tree.
ReplyDeleteLeanne,
DeleteI'm so glad you are visiting from Australia! It's so nice to meet you-I love your comment thanks for sharing.

A nice collection. I have 3 vintage toppers. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThey are fun to look for and 3 makes a wonderful grouping. So glad you were here ! xo Lisa S
DeleteFun ideas--I rarely see vintage toppers, but that doesn't keep me from looking! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I broke my favorite as I was unpacking the ornaments this year. Then yesterday I found one while I was Thrifting and I had to get it :)

That is a great idea for displaying the tree toppers. Thanks for sharing at Cooking and Crafting with J&J
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, xo Lisa S
DeleteThese are wonderful ideas, Lisa. It's such a shame when vintage ornaments don't get used and displayed. Your collection of tree toppers is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Hope to see you again this week. Hope you have had a lovely weekend!

Have a wonderful week! xo Lisa S

I display mine on my mantel with lite greenery in the front. Some sit by them selves and others are on handmade stands of a disk with a dowel rod glued to the disk. The topper slides over the dowel rod. I would add a picture if I knew how.

DeleteWhat a great idea. Your display sounds beautiful!
Thanks for visiting, xo Lisa S
Love these! Do you use glue or candle stuckum or just set them on the vases. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe topper has a long base that fits inside the vase and they don't tilt or fall over.
