Every year Mother would take we 5 kids shopping for a new ornament for our tree ... I don't know that any were actually our individual choice as we never agreed on anything together.Mother treasured her ornaments, she wrapped them carefully in tissue as she gently put them away for the next Christmas tree. I thought I had given away all her ornaments, BUT this year as we dug out boxes we found these precious ornaments of hers ... you can never know the excitement of joy for my heart.
The little bells in the lower right corner used to be held together with ribbons & placed on a branch.
All the pink ornies now hold places of honor on our tree.I will show you more of our tree later. Have a beautiful day ... as we prepare for the celebration of His birth ...

I love vintage ornaments and yours are just perfect. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat treasures Marydon. Wonderful memory of your Mom and the time spent together shopping for just the right ones. You don't know how much I love ornaments, but I didn't wonderful long history like yours. Christmas history in my family started by me and I'm the biggest in Christmas decorations with anyone around me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I will start blogging mine soon - Hugs Natima
Oh I can imagine the joy! ♥
ReplyDeleteYour mother's ornaments are beautiful, Marydon, and I can imagine how thrilled you were to find them. I'm sure they hold dear memories for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Marydon, I am so very happy for you that you found that little box of your mama's ornaments... I can just feel the emotion that went through you when you found it... love to you... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteMarydon these are so beautiful. Some look so familiar to me, as my parents had similar ornaments, but of course they are all gone now. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Marilyn, What a treasure of vintage ornaments you have and extra special because they were your mother's. I love the old ornies and the colors used.
ReplyDeleteI too have a nice little collection that were my familys from the 40's I call them WWII ornaments.
I know these mean a lot to you sweet friend. Thank you for sharing. I have so enjoyed catching up with your posts. It certainly has been a busy time.
Thank you for stopping by. It is always so special to see you.
Have a wonderful week.
Love your snowfall too.
Hugs and Blessings, Celestina Marie
That truly is a treasure find. My mother loves Christmas and Christmas trees. She has added enough ornaments to her collection over the years to fill a 10" tree. They date back into the 50's...many Hallmark. She never took my three siblings out hunting for a new one to add...that would have been way too interesting. :)

My niece got mothers Christmas ornaments. When we were cleaning out her home. You got me to thinking about it I didn't remember seeing or thinking about them at the time.

Oh what precious keepsakes. I have some of my Mother's also and I so cherish them. Your tree is looking gorgeous. Can't wait to see more. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful Marydon! I can just imagine your excitement at discovering them. I can't wait to see your finished tree with your Mother's pretty ornaments upon it!
ReplyDeleteMarydon,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you found your mother's ornaments! I've always wished someone in my family had kept ours from the family tree but not a one is saved. Yet, to my surprise and delight, the other evening I found a set of vintage balls at an antique mall much like Mom's and Dad's! What a thrill! I can only imagine the thrill you felt at finding the originals!!!
(Thanks for your sweet comment re: my little sheltie Bonnie! I appreciate it, dear friend!!!) Blessings and hugs, Coralie
Oh Marydon, your ornaments are just Incredible!! My heavens..they take me back for sure that gorgeous mercury glass!~! Just beautiful!! Hugs~Sharon
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you that you discovered your mother's ornaments Marydon! And such a wonderful story about going shopping for a new ornament too! It looks like they are now taking center stage on your tree!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
