There's just something so appealing, so nostalgic, so comforting about finding vintage Christmas decorations. Becky is always on the hunt for Shiny Bright ornaments and classic holiday decorations.
Yesterday we met Trisha at Gibson Mill in Concord and based on what we saw, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!
So many things that I saw triggered a memory from my childhood Christmases...the tall NOEL candle sat on the front porch of my neighbors, The Barkleys. Becky, Miriam, and I were notorious for simply throwing the icicles on the tree instead of strategically placing them. Both Mom Ritchie and Mom Sigmon were so proud of the Shiny Bright ornaments hanging on their trees. One year we even had a silver aluminum tree instead of a real one! |
