December is almost upon us, so why not wish that you would buy all these gorgeous Christmas ornaments? My favourite kind of tree ornaments is glass baubles. I buy a new one every year and though they occasionally break, my tree is quite full by now. I’m not big on decorating, but I want my tree overloaded with tinsel and glittery glass ornaments. I also have the three lights my grandmother Greta bought for the very first Christmas as a married woman in 1943. I’m so happy that they are still in working order and in their original box too! My maternal grandparents only had plain round glass baubles but my paternal grandparents had ornaments in all kind of shapes and I have found their counterparts on Etsy. I especially love the ones which are dimpled, as a child I found them absolutely fascinating!

My paternal grandparents have baubles like those in the first picture, too. I love them and look forward to seeing them every year. Right now I´m surfing around on ebay to find some cheap ones for myself :).
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I need some too! :)
ReplyDeleteThe reindeer sweater was kind of cute! I've asked my mom to knit me a fair isle sweater for x-mas (or whenever it'll be finished...).
ReplyDeleteMrsJ: I thought so too! I wish I would knit well, but I don't and unfortunately my Mum has stopped knitting. :/
