crystal for the christmas tree



This year's Christmas decorations are going to be largely silver and white, with a total absence of red, a new idea in this house, so I hope the children approve!

I've been fortunate to find some beautiful old 'pampilles' or crystal tears, and  I'll be using as many as possible on our Christmas tree.  The larger pampilles with the additional rosace and tiny crystal bead on the top look beautiful strung from a simple ribbon.

There's no comparison between crystal and glass in the way it catches and reflects the light.
