Thrift Store Find: Retro Tinsel Tree

 I consider it $5.00 well spent and just added a few special ornaments. The bells came from a dumpster back in the 1970's and were the first decorations my husband and I had. Isn't it amazing that they've survived this long?  Hey, come to think of it-isn't it amazing that we all have? The star is one that my Mom embroidered for us back in 1991.

The tiny metal tea cups survived a number of childhoods and were a sweet and funny gift from my brother.

It's kind of fun to sort through things this time of year and really enjoy them. Don't you think so?
