| Antique gold paper star from Kissa Design |
Five minutes before people arrived I tied a spent Allium schubertii to the top branch.
I think I like it better. The gold star arrived a few days later and is hanging like mistletoe in our entryway.
I think stars atop trees are supposed to represent the star that the Wise Men followed to Bethlehem? A bunch of dudes following a funky looking onion across the countryside makes about as much sense as the rest of the Christmas mythology to me, so this suits us.
That looks awesome! We have some cheap Ikea piece of crap on the top of our tree. Maybe I'll go to the front yard and find something better...
ReplyDeleteI love the Allium tree-topper. That was such a brilliant touch!
ReplyDeleteThat's brill Heather, love it! It only a temporary thing but perhaps for next year you can spray paint one in gold for a homemade ornament :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's happening next year. Genius!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely spray it gold -- those Stars of Persia allium bulbs are real sculpture when they are dried and they last forever. Yours looks perfect atop the tree.
ReplyDeleteInspired! I've used a gold-sprayed sun at the top of my tree for years but I'd switch to allium if I had a chance in hell of growing that in my garden. Maybe I should see what I can do with succulents.
ReplyDeleteI loved it when I saw it. Such a fantastic idea! Thanks for the fun afternoon. :-)
ReplyDeleteSpray them in all different colors!! I smell another etsy store idea a-brewing..;...
