I love glitter and the holidays are an excuse to get sparkly.
I also love vintage ornaments and decorations.
My ornament was inspired by the old Putz Houses from the 50's, you remember the cardboard glitter ones that used to sit under the tree.
I wonder if I could get glitter to stick to the roof of my actual house? That would really be cool.
Check out the blog hop! There will be some great ornaments featuring art beads.

I had those little houses under my tree when I was a child .
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and nostalgic theme .
Perfect for the time of year we celebrate
tradition and happy memory's.
A wonderful ornament!
m.e. :)
Oh - Freaking Awesome Diane!!! You know - I have to admit - I have a thing recently for glitter. I never really knew how awesome it is and attractive to me it is - but I am now very self aware of it. And I agree - Glitter on your roof would be Fantastic! Like a little snow globe big house :) These are fantastic ornaments!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're adorable! And in this case, glitter is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI never knew I was a "glitter-girl" til now, Diane... these are the cutest ever! Rather than climb on your roof with buckets of glitter, it might be easier (and safer!) to make yourself a little replica of su casa!
ReplyDeleteI love these houses so much! A great nod to a childhood memory. I used some of your word beads on my ornaments too. They are a favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! Love all the sparkle! :)
ReplyDeleteWell when you talked about your stripper dreams I was a bit worried, but you came up with a very beautiful ornament. I really think it is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteBut glitter on the roof?..geesh!
I snorted a bit when you mentioned your g-string, Miss Diane. Now that WOULD be something to see hanging on a tree! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am only just learning about what a Putz house is. I have this obsession with little houses and trees. And recently I started a winter landscape on my mantel that I will share soon. There was a lot of glitter involved so I know you will love it! Thanks for joining in this fun! Enjoy the day. Erin
I love them! What cute little houses and the glitter is a great touch!
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet - love them!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I loved those vintage glitter houses but until now I never new they had a name.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love those vintage houses too! Reminds me of my grandmother!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Love all that glitter too!
ReplyDeleteI love these little houses. They are so adorable. Well at my house there is glitter and clay everywhere so you can try it on your roof. You never know it may stick. Happy Holidays and Hopping. I love your ornaments. Come see mine. Im in the hop but my name isnt added to the list yet.
