Vintage Thingie Thursday--In a Christmas Way


I know it has been ages since i posted a VTT item, sorry. Really crazy busy at my house, but hopefully I will get back to normal...whatever that is. If you are new to VTT Suzanne at Colorado Lady host this great weekly post about all things vintage.
Yesterday as I was unpacking all the Christmas decorations. Now I come across these Christmas ornaments every year. They have travelled many miles over the years. They originally came from my mom, used on our tree when I was growning up. When I moved out she gave me a few boxes to get me started. I remember as a kid our tree had every colour of the rainbow on it. Now I don't use these balls on my tree as I keep just to gold and red. I can't believe they are in the originally packaging. I will keep them around for many more years probably. Great memories come alive when I see these from yester year!
Today it is really cold outside (yet I know there will be colder ones to come) so I declare it a sewing day....need to get a few things down and in the mail. Off to the machine I go......

  1. What beautiful treasures!! My Mom made a wreath where she took a grapevine wreath that I had made and glued some of her old ornaments to it that she didn't use on their tree anymore. At first I was amazed that she did that to those ornaments, then I realized that I really loved it. She hangs in in the hallway in the basement after the holidays, and I love to look at it - year round!

  2. They look so nice in the package that I think they would be nice to display just like that.

  7. Great vintage ornaments. Checking the price on the bottom - that is unreal (at least I think it was the price).

    Cheers,

  9. Good thing that they are in their original package because they are fragile I guess. It reminds me of my childhood too we have different colors of Christmas balls makes it more colorful. Happy weekend!
