All Things Glitter

I am a fan of all things that glitter. It’s just a fact. And at Christmastime? This love for glitter is effectively doubled, my friends. My husband may even argue that it’s tripled (lucky him, I know!). So the other day when I was perusing Target and all of the lovely Christmas decor they have out right about now, I stumbled upon a cute little 2-pack of flat ornaments that I immediately fancied. They were gold, glittery, and snowflake-y. (And by this point we all know that I have a love affair with gold decor, right?) Fun, yes? I bought three packs of the ornaments — $4 all said and done.

Most years at Christmastime, my mother-in-law decorates the chandelier above the dining room table with ornaments — and I have always loved what a sweet touch that was. (Maybe I can snap a picture of this for you all if she has it up again this year!).

So. Above my desk in my office area of our apartment, I have a perty Chandelier, which we bought from Ikea.

There she is! I love her, and I felt like she needed to feel gussied up for Christmas, too. So…

Fun, yes? :-) Now all I’ve gotta worry about is hitting my head when I stand up from my chair! But if that’s the price I’ve got to pay for Little Miss Chandy to look as sweet as she does right now, I’ll take it! :-)

What else would be fun to hang on a chandelier? You could do candy canes, for sure. More crystal ornaments would look beautiful, I bet, if you’ve got a crystal chandy already. Maybe even some beads strung up in there would look nice. Ideas?
