White Wednesday - If Rachel Ashwell Met Tim Burton

Quirky, offbeat, strange things always grab me and I found a doozie at an estate sale on Monday.  Kathy was with me and quickly dubbed it "the Tim Burton church".  I think she's right, but with a little Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic thrown in! 

The sale was in an old Milwaukee home.  The lady had been a cake decorator and I suppose that this had been created as part of a beautiful Christmas display at some point.

Trees made of netting with garlands of icing...

..."frosted" branches backed by angel hair...

...caroling angels...it's all there.

It had been stored in the decrepit attic.  There are bits of shingles, nails, plastic, and lots of dust on it.

I'm still debating whether to clean it up or leave it and use it in a Halloween display.  What would you do?

It makes me smile, and for now it's a keeper.

Have you found anything lately that brings a smile?

I'm linking up with Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday... go check it out!
