Old Reminders

Inexpensive ornaments, including these, were all I could afford during the early days of my marriage three decades ago. Now I pass such things to my niece, who loves them for being retro.

Daughter's Snowman

Snowmen always make me happy. Since we live in Florida, my daughter has never seen snow. So I put a few snowmen in her room during the holidays.

Little Memories

I found these in my mother's decorations after she died. I still remember the home gifts party hosted by a friend where she bought them back in the 1970s.

Old and Fragile

These ornaments were used on my parents' first Christmas tree more than sixty years ago. They are precious to my family.

Little Santa

This is one of dozens of Santas I have, but I like him because he reminds me of one my grandma had when I was a little kid.

Doggie Tins

Last year I filled these tins with dog biscuits and sent them out to my friends who have dogs.

Festive Carousel Plate

I love carousels, so a friend bought me this 1991 limited edition collector's plate (designed for the American Lung Association) from a resale shop.
