Five Ornaments

I love all of my Christmas ornaments, and have collected them slowly over the past 20 years.  Here are 5 of my favorite and I'm sharing this post on Amy's lovely blog for Five on Friday.

I hope you all are enjoying the time leading up to the holidays.

      That bird house was handmade by the sweetest old couple. They were at a craft sale nearby, and I couldn't resist.

    It is such fun to collect ornaments and then fondly remember where and when you purchased it. I love the reindeer especially. Merry Christmas!

      It really is fun! I try to get a new one each year, but it can be hard to find one that I love as much as these. Merry Christmas Mildred!

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered.
