Mom's Christmas Tree Jewels ~ Memory Count Down ~ Day 10
~ 2008 ~
This ornament was another that mom (1933~2010) had hand carried from Germany in 2008. She brought me two of them and then she had several also. This Christmas dove has held a special spot on our tree ever since.
Thank you, Betty, mom just really had a way with decorating at Christmas but more so was the spirit of Christmas, it was in her heart and soul and it really showed. She has many more that I don't have as of yet. Hopefully by next Christmas I will and I will love sharing them. But for now, I feel Blessed to have some of mom's beautiful treasures here in my home.
Thank you so much, Gini! Before I even read your comment, I was going to comment that I am looking for an ornament very much like this; I am hoping World Market carries something along these lines. (Great minds must think alike!)
Greta, your so welcome! I think the World Market might be a great place to start. I'm going to do some checking, I know mom got these in Germany but we have a few places around here. If I find them, I will let you know. I'm glad you liked it, I thought of you when I put this one up on the tree!
This one's for you, Greta . . . Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait each day for you to show us the next treasure your Mom shared with you. They are so beautiful!
