About 10 years ago when we first moved into our house my mother in law gave me her mother's (affectionately known as "Grammo") aluminum "Princess Pine" Christmas tree. It is a fantastic mid-century aluminum tree made by Bellastra Inc. in Don Mills; Ontario, Canada. Overall the condition is pretty good. However the tinsel from the branches sheds a wee bit!
We haven't set it up for several years and decided we would this year.

I found the perfect vintage, lighted angel tree topper made by Universal lites for $1.99 and best of all~ it still works! It has its original box with a price of $7.99 from Miracle Mart. Don't you think that's a bit expensive!?! I guess I'm use to second hand prices and not retail.
Isn't she pretty!

Until we thrift again...

Love it, what a neat keepsake to have!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill! My husband has fond memories of this tree growing up. It was always set up by the family parrot's cage and used to always fall on it.
DeleteThe tree looks in great shape and the angel is perfect!
ReplyDeleteYes the angel is prefect! Shortly after finding this angel in gold I found another new in box silver one!
