Hello Lovelies,
the boys did a good job of decorating the tree yesterday, but they forgot my special tins.....
They contain a lot of our handmade ornaments collected over the years. Stuff made by me......
Gifts from kind bloggers........
More stuff made by me....still love the simple red and white theme of these.......
Hand knitted cuties collected from a local Christmas fair over the years........
And most precious of all....things made by the boys when they were little..........
I love handmade ornaments and to rediscover these each Christmas is a joy. Our tree wouldn't be the same without them.

A wonderful assortment of ornaments! Definitely treasures. I spent a couple hours today wrapping gifts, seeing how many still to buy/make.Enjoy the season!
ReplyDeleteLove all the hand made ornaments! x
ReplyDeleteAll of my children are in their 30's and I still have some of the ornaments they made. They are pretty fragile and stay in the box,and they are definitely the most precious ornaments I have.
ReplyDeleteChristmas wouldn't be the same without the wonderful memories of Christmas's past evoked by ornaments made/bought in previous years. I still have treasures that my daughters made and they all have families of their own now.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your ornaments. My children each received a box with of their ornaments for their trees when they moved out of the house. It left our tree very bare!! I've been busy making and finding new ones to replace theirs. Yours are beautiful and I believe handmade is the best.

I think a tree isn't cozy and wonderful if it doesn't have a fun eclectic collection of ornaments especially the ones made by yourself, friends and kids. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have a similar collection and like yours, they are very special and full of memories. I'm enjoying your December posts very much.

ReplyDeleteThey're lovely Jacquie. I always like to go through the Christmas decorations every year and remember when we made things together, and remember friends who have given me things. A happy tradition. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteI thought I would be all prissy about kids stuff on the tree when I didn't have children but actually they are my most favourite things now that I have them! There I said it out loud and sounded so shallow!! I love your boys things.Loveing your quick posts. Jo x
ReplyDeleteLove these home made decorations and that you have 'special' tins. For me you can't beat the good old red and white theme, it shouts Christmas for me. but all lovely x
ReplyDeleteI really loved the hand-knitted cuties, and the red and white theme - how wonderful to have the memories with all of your ornaments! Thank you for sharing the warmth of your heart and home. Holiday hugs, Ann
