Crystal Tree

My crystal tree is a collection of mostly antique chandelier crystals that you can find at garage or tag sales, antiques stores, auctions, and resale stores.  They can be purchased for as little as a dime upwards to $5.00 each... is the most I like to spend.  The wire tree was found at an antique store for $18.00.  Great ideas to substitute the wire tree are necklace and earring trees, Christmas card tree holders, and ornament trees.  This is a portable accent piece that creates ambience in any room! 

I love to go on quests for crystals!!! It really satisfies my gathering instinct... and when money is tight hunting for crystals is so much fun!  This collecting began with my passion for anything shiny and when I first saw the rainbows all over the room...that was it for me!!!  I also began to give them away as gifts, especially to friends as a little pick me up...tying a satin bow to one end made for a pretty presentation.  And of course, I believe in their healing powers!

Keep on Shining!
