My Christmas trees have some new ornaments this year.
Or, rather old, vintage ornaments that once hung from the branches of the trees we knew as children.
My little white feather tree is adorned with white and gold pine cones, musical instruments and a few other baubles that I brought home from my mom’s as we were emptying her home.
The family room tree now has mercury glass ornaments.
Daddy loved color and these were his favorite.
I have little white lights ~ Daddy had the large colored light bulbs.
It makes me feel happy to now have these special ornaments on my Christmas tree.

What beautiful and unique Christmas ornaments as well as some precious memories to go with them. 🙂
Oh, those ornaments bring back memories to me, too. I think we had the same ones! Somewhere through the years, when my parents moved from place to place, many items got misplaced or tossed…which makes me sad when it comes to lovely Christmas ornaments, etc. Yours are beautiful!
I too love those old-fashioned ornaments. They bring back fond memories.
I adore the ornaments from my childhood. They are always my favorites.
These pictures and ornaments are beautiful. Thanks so much for your kind comments on my blog today. I look forward to seeing your other holiday posts!
What beautiful treasures….I would love to have one or two of mine from when I was young too…so special. Hope you enjoyed your day!
Nice to meet you too Lorraine! And thanks a million for the great tutorial; I am so going to try making these stars! How lovely to have ornaments with a history, it gives the Holidays so much more depth!
A great December to you!

What pretty ornaments and how nice to have them hanging on your tree this year. Some of those in the last picture remind me of ones we had when I was little. My brother has all my dads old Christmas decorations but I have the memories that went along with them 🙂
The ornaments are gorgeous! How awesome to have these heirlooms!
I love the ornaments. They remind me of the ornaments my hubby had hanging on his family tree that are sadly now gone. When his stepmother moved across the country she took all the ornaments with her! Wonderful memories you're having looking at them! Enjoy your day!
I especially like mercury glass ornaments, very "retro."
Love,
Lorraine
Your ornaments are gorgeous! What a special tree you must have with all of these treasures!
Have a great day.

Beautiful! Ornaments full of memories are some of the best! Blessings to you!
Oh, what treasures and I'm so glad they make you happy, filled with loving memories. I've really been missing my dad and I'm sure you are missing your mom. We are so blessed to know we will be reunited with our loved ones. May this sweet season be filled with many merry and bright moments at your beautiful home.
Absolutely beautiful! Btw, thanks for the sweet comment on my frame project 🙂 Hope you can swing by again and join my Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop.
What treasures…I haven't seen ornaments from my childhood in years
Your family ornaments are beautifully phnotographed! SO wonderful that you have them.
LOVE the feather tree! I think ornaments like this bring such beautiful, treasured memories and our hearts are joy filled.

Just stopping by to say thank you for the lovely comment you left at 21 Rosemary Lane. I have only been a Jersey girl since I got married 9 years ago. I'm originaly from Pa. Your ornaments are beautiful…I love the style of the older Christmas decorations. Nice to meet you and now following you!
Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog! I remember all those older ornaments! I'm pretty sure we had the same ones when I was young – and my parents still have them. Nice to meet you! Nan
Just beautiful and so very meaningful and comforting.
I remember ornaments like several of these from our family tree when I was young. We kept them for years until they either broke or were lost in the shuffle of moving. Yours are just beautiful, something to really treasure.
Blessings~
I have a few of the same ornaments passed down from my mom & dad. I love them, too. Some are identical to yours. It really adds to the memories of Christmas when you can look at these every day in all their splendor. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x4
Some of those ornaments (or similar I should say) are hanging on my tree from both my husband's family and mine…they bring such warmth and cheer to our hearts to look at them and remember. And of course we have built our own memories into our ornaments –probably now also considered antiques of sorts!! Your trees and these two posts are just shiningly gorgeous! I know you are enjoying sitting back now and looking!
