Memories of Christmas past always fill our hearts and minds
during Christmas present.
We all remember a favorite tree, perhaps covered in bubble
lights and aluminum icicles. Or we look
forward to retrieving a box filled with ornaments marking the year we received
that special gift—a bicycle, Transformer, or Cabbage Patch doll.
Christmas collectibles have grown in popularity over the past
few years. Ornaments of paper mache,
blown glass, plastic, even metal top the list.
But Santa Claus figurines and post cards (dressed in unusual colors or
in robes of fur or mohair), door and table decorations, games, Christmas
dinnerware, figural lights, music, and even old trees of aluminum or feathers
are finds for the Christmas sleuth.
It’s time to check out your local flea market, garage sale,
or antique shop.
Decorating for the holiday season with the look of yesterday
is the in-look for today.
My Etsy shop is currently offering a group of
multicolored starburst ornaments from the 1950’s. You can see them here.
I remember these! My Mom had some, as well as some plastic "filigree" ornamnents, that I still have ~ :)
