This Attic Find Creeped Me Out

No one worried about whether or not it looked bought at a store. That’s not the issue here. The issue here was creating a festive atmosphere.

This is why I consider this attic Christmas Chandelier to have such great nostalgia. It didn’t have to be perfect. It had to be personal. Someone had to create it manually piece-by-piece while determining where each ornament would go and whether or not it required just a little additional shine.

The addition of the angel hair also adds to my appreciation. If you recall this item you already know. The angel hair provided those frosted, glowing appearances on decorations that added to making everything seem a little more magical.

Why Does It Matter?

What I appreciate most about this attic Christmas Chandelier is that it provides a story. This is not simply an old decoration. It is an old memory that hangs there in plain view.

These are the types of stories that so many of us associated with old holiday decorations. They weren’t perfectly made, they weren’t expensive. They were merely creative, handmade and a reflection of the person who created them.

In an instant it appeared to be nothing but trash in the attic. The next moment it became part of your family history.

Not bad for a couple of wire clothes hangers, some ornaments and a small amount of angel hair.
