Cherubs

I'm not a photographer by either profession or hobby, but I'm learning to use my little digital. Playing with light is challenging. Anyway, these are two blown glass cherubs. And the bead garland was purchased by my mother in 1941; it's multi-colored glass and I haven't been able to find anything similar, it's been on every Christmas tree since the first one in my memory.

1. Now that is SWEET! I'm glad you posted these, with Christmas barely over.

The second one makes me smile wide, the stance is simply hysterically funny to me. And you did a nice job with taking the pictures too.
Take good care of those beads, they are precious.
Real antiques. They are EVEN LOTS OLDER than I am.

2. oh, I love sentimental Christmas tree ornaments

And these make for a very nice picture.

I am not going to take a picture of the ornament I have from my birth year. My grandmother took needles off my first Christmas tree, and sewed them up into an "ornament" and crossstitched the year on it!!

Uh, that was awhile back.

:rofl:

It goes on the tree every year, even though we have downsized the tree to a tabletop model from Target.
