They all have stories to tell
And I remember them all
They come from many places
But our Christmas Tree comes from the mountains by our house
My sweet friend Helen, gave me many beautiful ornaments
This little fellow is only an inch tall, he is from East Germany, the place where I grew up
A sweet bird, another gift from my dear friend Helen
One of many ornaments from the Nutcracker Ballet series
I love heart ornaments on our tree, any kind of heart
Hand painted on a wintry afternoon
Thin paper glued onto clear glass balls
More paper napkins glued and varnished
A cornucopia, a symbol of abundance
More hearts, more Love
From the Christkindles Markt on a snowy afternoon in Nuernberg
Merry Christmas my dear blogging Friends
Gina

Dear Jermaine, Your all-white Christmas tree with the colorful pheasant is spectacular.

ReplyDeleteHi Snap, Yes, do try covering glass balls with pretty napkins. The thin-nest napkins work best. Merry Christmas! Gina
