A close up of the top Christmas fairyThis tree took quite a while to accomplish considering my state of mind and get up and go (that apparently went) lol but it is finally finished. Each piece is hand done and tied on with ultra thin wire. The tinsel is made of wire ribbons, the bows were made using a fork, the pink bulbs were purchased and the white use to be a spray for floral arrangements. The tulle was glittered with german glass glitter. I did paint the base however you cannot see it because the bottom rows became heavy with ornaments and glitter. I had hoped to make each nurse a button fairy but time is running out and I am just too tired sooooooooooooo maybe next time.
Another Christmasy thing to share is my Mother's wreath. It is beautiful in it's simplicity. I just love it and wanted to share.
Isn't it pretty?

Your Mom's wreath is wonderful...but your Pink Fairy Tree is spectular...It makes me remember the year my mom decided to have a Pink Christmas (1957)...every thing had to be pink, my Dad painted the Christmas tree pink and he even painted all of the lights pink, my Mom made a ballirena on point that was about 32" tall and my Dad designed a turntable that turned with a motor and she stood next to the tree...they made candles out of the cores from the newspaper rolls (my Dad was in the newspaper business all my years of growing up)they were 3 different sizes and he wired them and used flame shaped bulbs...it was awesome..Thank you for bringing back this wonderful memory for me.
