Parade of Ornaments

Whether fancy or simple ornaments are delightful objects that can be full of meaning. There are a few repeats in this bunch. And, of course, I didn't try to include them all. Number 5 and 7 are new this year. Pennee gave me the Home ornament when she was here for Thanksgiving. The painted wood ornament with Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus was a lovely find at Boatwright Pharmacy.

Oh Christmas Trees, Oh Christmas Trees

 Decorated trees tell a story of memories. At least mine do. I love to bring out the wonderful ornaments every December. 

The tree in the den has an old-fashioned theme. Many of the ornaments are inexpensive and made of wood. I mixed in a few vintage Shiny Brite ones.

I like the white lights, and Corkey prefers the colored ones. It's nice to rotate the color choices.

The living room tree has many Hallmark ornaments as well as family photos. The lighted and motion ornaments are fun to view. 

I wish I could share every ornament. There are stories that go with so many of them. Gazing on the special gift ornaments from family and friends is especially heartwarming. Others are delightful finds from thrifting jaunts. There's no doubt I like all sorts of ornaments and love displaying them at Christmastime.
