Christmas Ornaments: Handmade is Best!

Wreaths

Last year I blogged about my Christmas ornaments and it was so popular, that I am going to do it again this year.

White Wreath shows up better on Green Tree

Crocheted wreaths with shells

I have so many ornaments, there are too many for one tree. And I only have one small tree! So each year, I rotate my ornaments and put up different ones. So this year, I picked some ornaments that were not on the tree last year.

Wooden Mice

My Mom took a class in smocking and made this ornament

My Granny made these little baby Jesus ornaments in Ceramics

This Angel is made from an Antique Handkerchief

Stained Glass

These colors show up really nicely on a Green Tree

This Crawfish and Iguana are made from straw and come from Central America

Gourd Santa

Wooden Leaf from Vermont

As I was going through my ornaments, I realized that the majority are handmade. They are either made by myself and my family and friends or I tend to purchase handmade ornaments. I guess I like them better than the mass-produced ones. I love the originality and the diversity that the hand crafted ornaments represent.
