Click on tree to view ornaments up close. . .Here are just a few of my 'oldies but goodies'. . .
This is the Santa I received at my 3rd grade Christmas party in 1960. Mrs. Young was my teacher. I remember our class walking around the corner from Highland School to her house to watch the inauguration of John Kennedy.
This sweet little angel was the Christmas party favor given to each child in my 2nd grade class. I have vivid memories of my teacher, Mrs. Aycock, teaching us to sing Silent Night, giving special attention to accenting the 't' at the end of each lyric that ended with a 't'. 
My Grandma Ruby was a crafty lady. In the mid '70s she created many ceramic pieces. One year she made these ornaments for Bob & me.
Even though this glittery star has lost one of its points I still tuck it between tree branches each year. Bobby made it in Sunday School class when he was 2 years old.
I'm so glad you took time out your busy schedule to stop by for a visit today! I appreciate each of you & enjoy it so much when you leave a comment!

that is just wonderful! my mom has several of my grade one clay ornaments on the tree again this year...my kids were laughing at them...my son asked "grammy why do you have dog poop hanging on your tree?"
she answers..."oh sweetie that is not dog poop...that is the bell your mom made me for christmas when she was in grade one! see...there is still a little glitter left on it!"
yes...I made a bell that is more similar looking to dog poop than it is to a bell....I beg her to get rid of it every year...and every year she tells me to shut up and get away from her tree!
Oh Carol these are all so sweet and so many memories ..just loved your post today..I have an award fro you so come by and get it...hugs and smiles Gloria
Beautiful tree, Carol! And I like the star because although it's not "perfect", it's so very special. :)
Hi Carol...I did enlarge your great tree and saw some wonderful ornaments on it...family photos, cars, houses, a stagecoach I think.. but my favorite is the tattered gold star Bobby made!

Oh, Carol..Those are the best ornaments...the ones that have a memory attached. I am a retired teacher, so my heart was really warmed by the fact that 2 of the ornaments came from favorite teachers. But the best of all is the glittery star with the missing leg...hugs...Debbie
Loved seeing your treasures. You have a great blog
