One year, while I was away at college, a roommate of mine received a package at Christmas-time from her mom. It was filled with homemade goodies of all kinds. Amongst all these confections were pale pink meringues she affectionately dubbed "sugarplums", which she generously shared with us. When I created these trees, I envisioned those soft, sweet confections of years past.

These sweet 3 1/2 inch trees have undergone quite a transformation. They started out as plain ol' blue-green trees with gold bases. I've hand-dyed them to a perfectly sweet cotton candy pink, and have generously dusted them with genuine, old-fashioned mica glitter. I've painted the bases a cottagy white and glittered them with genuine glass glitter {these are not for children, grown-ups please handle carefully}. These trees glitter and sparkle from head to toe! They might remind you a bit of yesteryear!

I line these up in my window sills to cheer me {and guests} all winter long. They would also be sweet in a little girl's room, or as little tie-ons for special packages. I also create a scene with tiny figures and these trees inside of a vintage enamelware bowl, lined with pulled cotton batting "snow".

Please convo me if you'd like more! :)
