Kate's idea of a single topic each Friday up till Christmas is a good one - something different for this very different Christmas.
Decorations
The first is of a group of decorations wired together. The two white bells are from 1960 but the yellow bell is very much older. It is of brittle plastic and is from 1949. We had more and they were considered very modern -plastic, not glass!! The three have a tiny bit of tinsel wrapped around, it has tarnished and shrivelled with age but still very special to me
I could not choose which to select so have cheated and entered two. My second is of one of my favourite Christmas tree ornaments. My parents bought it in 1959, the year we moved to what was Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, from Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia, (now Zambia) and we were amazed to see such lovely things in the shops. Lusaka only had one main street with shops on one side only except for the library and a record shop was newly built on the other side. In this picture our glass snowman is a bit the worse for wear but I have since blackened his hat. He gets wrapped up very carefully and packed away each year.
Now to see what everyone else has found for this topic. See you next week with our pictures of baking.
I have always loved that snowman☃️ xxx I have some tired but very special bells like yours too x
ReplyDeleteI like your snowman; all those memories associated with your decorations. You have to keep them safe. I recall Mother insisting on decorating the tree each year. Sadly I've no idea what happened to her treasured decorations. x
ReplyDeleteOh my, your plastic bell is as old as me........ and I've some of those frosted bells too, which we had as children. I'd forgotten how old those might be as well. Thanks for sharing & bringing back memories for me too. Take care, stay safe & huggles.
