Every year at Christmas there is something that I kind of have an obsession about and this year it is vintage Christmas balls and anything with German glass glitter ~
When we were at Canton for our one day ( not near enough time ), another thing that I found was a basket of vintage pink Christmas balls ~ First of all, vintage Christmas balls go for a premium here ~ I saw them for $24 a box of 8 at most places !! Well I was so excited to find this basket full of PINK so I had to ask how much it was even though I figured it would be too expensive ~ It was $30 for the whole basket full including the basket ~ I was sooo excited and snatched it up real quick ~
I washed some of my ugly orange ones I got last year and now they are a gorgeous mercury glass ~ I combined them with my new old pink ones in an apothecary jar ~
Apothecary jars are also one of my favorite things so I have quite a few of them around my house ~ they are wonderful because you can change them for the seasons ~
I also found this petite apothecary jar at Canton this month ~ I just fell in love with it because it is so cute with the vintage pink and white buttons ~
It is available here ~
Chat with you soon !

I Miss Canton! There is no way to see everything and every booth in the pavillions in only 1 day. That's one of the first places I am heading if I ever get home again!
Gorgeous Photos Lori - The Apothecary Jar is awsome - I love the Vintage Pink Christmas Balls! xox
Lovely decorating ideas! Your Christmas ornaments look beautiful in your apothecary jar.
Great find! Not only all the beautiful ornaments, but the basket I believe matches a set that I have! They fit nicely in a display rack that has a metal sign on top that says "For Your Shopping Convenience" they were available at the door of stores as far back as the late 40's. I love mine, I have a set with 8 of the baskets. I really enjoyed your post. Jacque

Beautiful ornaments! I'm using pink ornaments this year, but so few of them are vintage.
What a perfect pink they... and what a great price...

Hi Lori,
You found some great stuff at Canton. The vintage pink balls are beautiful. I love the dream board you put together. I have to say, you find the best things! I try to check your site every few days but stuff sells out so quickly. You have quite the eye! I just love your site and blog ... beautiful.

Hi Lori, thanks for stopping by. I just called and left a message for Ethel. I'll post it when I know. I love those pink balls! Nice find. ~Mindy
Hi Lori, Thanks for leaving me a sweet comment! Your blog is beautiful!!! I love the pink balls! I do that with the old ornaments too. I have bunches of gold balls that have tarnished from my mom's tree in the 1960's! Check out SparkledLife and Chiknite

Blessings!
