Below is a ceramic tree my Aunt Virginia made for my family many years ago.
She passed away last Christmas and I miss her dearly.
Grateful for this reminder of her love for all of us …
and the spirit of the season.
An ornament from 1965 with my name (and birth year) on it.
Used to hang on our family tree.
Every year I open the boxes of ornaments and hope I didn’t break it.
My favorites are the ones my kids made in elementary school…
..and the globe ornaments.
What decoration says, mostly, it is my belief anyway…
is that Love Lives Here.
You don’t have to spend money you might not have
to add seasonal love to your home.
My friend Heidi made this wreath by walking around her yard
and cutting vines and greens as she went.
It’s a beautiful thing.
