TGIF! Kelli over at
http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ is hosting Show and Tell each Friday.
Today I would like show you some of my favorite ornaments. This seems to be the theme of todays show and tell! I absolutely love Christmas ornaments and love to see trees that are decorated with a variety of ornaments.
This little ornament is one that I had when I was a little girl. I guess it would be considered an antique now!
I started collecting the vintage Barbie ornaments from Hallmark many years ago.
I especially love handmade ornaments. I made two of these sweet kitties last year, one for my friend and one for me.
Some ornaments are just priceless. Like this one Yngwie made with popsicle sticks in Kindergarten.
I made this one for Dear Husband the year that he got his 1966 Corvette.
I made this shadowbox ornament this year. I was going to make some for gifts but couldn't find any more very tiny dishes.
This is quite possibly my very favorite ornament. When Yngwie was two years old he hung his "binkie" on the tree. He would go in every now and then and stick it in his mouth for a few minutes. Then he would hang it back on the tree. Now it goes on every year. ( at age 17 now, he no longer needs it! LOL)
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend

I remember the binkie from last year. Gee we've been friends for over a year now! I like that!
ReplyDeleteI made the "ice candles" too, probably for Campfire girls. they really WERE pretty, but they didn't burn very well. Every once in a while your wick would hit a pocket of water that had been trapped inside. Rememeber that?

Love the passie on the tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tree!! I love the Binkie ornament. It gave me an idea. I have some of my children's things packed away. A rattle and a hairbrush and I'm not sure what else. I'm going to dig them out and use them for ornaments.
ReplyDeleteI have some old ones too even some glass ones that were on my tree when I was a girl. They are very special to me and bring back some incredible memories!
Thanks for the great idea.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
