Vintage Christmas Ornaments

As I wrote the title of this post,

Vintage Christmas Ornaments,

it occurred to me that

all

Christmas decorations are vintage,

even if only in the eye of the beholder.

They have stood the test of time,

mean something special to the owner,

and provide countless days

of family tradition

and beauty.

These ornaments were also part of my daughter’s inventory

at market days.

I hid them under the table immediately.

 

I don’t know who made these ornaments,

but I have a picture in my mind

of what would make it special for me.

In my mind,

it would be my mother and my aunts sitting around a kitchen table,

laughing and talking while they worked.

I would be there too,

helping, watching, listening,

and learning.

There are vintage experiences and memories too,

aren’t there?
