~ Love Of Vintage Christmas Ornaments

Jumat, 24 Desember 2010

It seems almost impossible not to love these old
and sometimes tarnished beauties.

Like all antique and vintage treasures, you wonder
about those who owned it before you.
Who hung this lovely ornament on their tree long ago.
What was their Christmas like?

It's been few years since I found a box of ornaments
in an old Shiny Brite box.
It was a lucky day.

Some are hand blown glass from Germany,
and others of the same origin look like they
were formed in a mold for the glass.

The one above it a bit more blue
than shows in the picture.

This one looks like it has a sewn stitches on it.



One year they were displayed in an old silver tray.

But this year, even the Radko's stayed in the boxes. Instead the tree was decorated with just white and silver, and the older ornaments were the best sparkle. Very simple.

Each one has its own beauty, and I'm sure a story to tell. Since I found my first one, these have been such a favorite part of my Christmas decorating. Every time I have the pleasure of hanging these, I wonder about their past. I hope someone will always care for them, hang them on their tree, and wonder about those of us who loved them before they did.

Happy Christmas Eve!
Donna
