Ornaments

 

Christmas, 2022

Some of my ornaments are because of childhood memories, such as this one:

As a child, we had glass ornaments and although this one is resin, it's very much like the glass apple core  on the tree of my childhood. (We had a pear core too). All our possessions but for a couple of items were lost when our house burned down in 1969.

This little brass trumpet is one I put to honour my daughter, who played trumpet in school band. It always goes near the top of the tree. 

This hand carved loon is the work of Connie and Gene from Far Side of Fifty blog; they hand carve and paint ornaments every year and give several of them away through the blog. It's one of my treasured ornaments. 😊 

This one was a gift from my dad and step-mom. My dad passed away 10 years ago, so this one is very special to me. 

For all the amazing border collies in my life.....

A Teddy bear for my husband Ted who is a shining star in my life.....

The cat and mouse just because it makes me smile! And because kitties are a big part of my life too.

Last but not least, the Cross of Christ, which is also the Star of Bethlehem. 

And there you have it, just some of the special ones that make my tree every year. 

Wishing you all Christmas blessings!
