A few weeks ago at TJMaxx I found a little Martha Stewart paper kit called the Glitter Train Station. Normally I wouldn't get too excited about a paper village, but knowing it was Martha I had a feeling it would be pretty charming.
I was even more excited when I saw that it came with the glue and the faux snow glitter. Fabulous. After I brought it home I kept thinking it would be so lovely on my dining table. My only challenge was that I did not want to put all that glitter right on the table. Certainly it would be a complete messy disaster within days, no hope it would last through the holidays that way. So I decided to put the little village in a tray so if necessary I could move it off the table and it would be much easier to clean up after Christmas.
Because I used a tray the train tracks were limited and I ended up not using a few pieces of track, but I like how it looks in this earthy tray that is mirrored in the bottom. All the sparkly glitter just brings the magic. Simple and sweet.

That is really, really cute! And I agree that it's probably best to contain the glitter in the tray. :) Ryan has come to loathe the way I get glitter ALL. OVER. THe. HOUSE. when I use it!
I love this! SO CUTE. And the tray idea is genius.
