Thanks everyone.
Rose, thank you. I only have glass ornaments, clear lights, and ribbon on the tree. I don't think the photos really did it justice because it is much prettier in "life". Still glad you like it though.

Renda I know I commented on this beautiful photo essay, and wrote a long thing about how we had so many lovely ornaments when we were kids, but I dont' see it here, I can't light up the stars again, so maybe I forgot to push post, well I will do that now, such a beautiful tree you have, and the ornaments are so very special too.

Elsie, I am glad you stopped by. I didn't see the comment you tried to post earlier (glitch?). Most of the ornaments are ones I have been collecting several years. The snowflake ones are the "newest" and are two years old. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.
