A little tree tour!

Our antique glass ornaments from our families. 
My Santa Claus phase! 
Then my snowman phase. 
A few whimsicals. 
Of course, a Nutcracker representing the annual family trek to the Nutcracker Ballet. 
And finally, my favorite ornament of all.  This is my angel from my tree as a child.  It was given to me by my grandmother.  My grandmother is who I inherited my love of all handwork from.

  7. All your ornaments are beautiful--- but the last one "Little Angel" is adorable and ---because it was given to "you" from your grandmother-- little "Miss Angel" is a "special" treasure! Carolyn

  9. All your vintage ornaments are so charming! I remember decorating the tree when I was younger with my Dad, he would always pull out the "special ones" and put them on the tree. There was a particularly lovely pink one with stripes, it was my favourite. It was his mother's, I think he may still have them even today.
