It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go...




So I think I'll start gussying up the house for that very thing...be back soon...

Several people have emailed me asking about this ornament.
This is a handmade crocheted, beaded ornament that a friend of mine made for me about thirty years ago, I have about six in the collection, though she made hundreds of these over time to give to people.
This friend was from Boston with a very distinct Bostonian accent and at the time she gave it to me, she said this to me;

"Now you hang onto these and don't lose them, because someday they'll be heirlooms"...

I guess she was right...
Here's another one in the collection, the rest are still packed and waiting for the tree:)
