Vintage alphabet blocks and vintage pipe cleaners (vintage pipe cleaners?  really?) make for a great holiday themed tree block thing.  Especially when you have Bambi’s brown star in the shot.  Good job.

No really.  Good job.

Over Christmas, my family was invited to a lovely dinner over at my brother’s new in-law’s home.   Somewhere between the main course and dessert, we were talking about Christmas decorations and my lovely sister-in-law’s mother pulled out this piece by Royal Doulton.  At first glance, everything seems completely fine.

We’ve seen some craptastic sweaters, now it’s time for The Vests!

I have to admit, she is kind of fantastic.  The 34 year old in me is hot for technology and the 7 year old girl in me has a soft spot for Barbie, I can’t help it.

I picked up this tree topper about five years go when I was living in Toronto, and I absolutely adore her!  I think as far as tree toppers go she’s very inspiring.

Essentially she’s an upside down plastic party cup with a hole cut in the bottom and a barbie doll poked through.  Her hair piece is part of an old electric razor, her wings are made out of old finishing lures, and the rest of her is adorned with pieces of scrap fabric and wire.

Thanks Nichole!
