Ornaments ...I enjoy seeing other folks' trees. Ornaments are special statements of our lives. The pasties are a hoot...don't tell Charlie (when you finally get a chance to meet)that you have a set of pasties, he wants to put some on the mermaid. <br />Love the jellyfish--pretty. Your Dia de Muertes ornaments are certainly interesting. <br />Your asking of others to post what is on our tree is food for thought. Most of mine are carved wooden German ornaments.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-65248712740413388062009-12-19T12:25:34.925-05:002009-12-19T12:25:34.925-05:00Your Christmas tree is beautiful and I love the st...Your Christmas tree is beautiful and I love the stained glass window above the mantle.

I have a friend that would love them (and I might need to look for something similar for her next Christmas) - she and her husband are poets, and her husband is from Mexico, so they always through a Day of the Dead party each November.<br /><br />This is the second year that my ornaments have been in storage, and looking at your tree made me miss them: perhaps my most nontraditional ornaments are the little buddhas, and I too have a series of 'marine' ornaments, including Poseidon and Neptune and sea horses, etc. Hopefully in the next year or two the ornaments will come out of safe keeping - and by then they'll seem new all over again!<br /><br />I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.Pamhttp://www.talesfromthelaboratory.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-31930058803099033622009-12-18T20:16:47.971-05:002009-12-18T20:16:47.971-05:00Jeff,
