Peggy C's photos with the keyword: antique shade pulls

ribbons cascade from the top .. framing ornaments hand-made .. crochet and cross stitch from friends .. origami swans from a soul who is always surprising me with her talents .. antique shade pulls - inherited .. sea shells and sand dollars - found on the Gulf shores and the Atlantic ocean .. walnuts gilded by my hands .. always remember a story written about relatives in Austria when hanging the gilded walnuts ... "The Christmas Anna Angel" - my grandmother and great aunt & family .. love the story .. but, that isn't why this tree doesn't have lights or store bought glitz .. it all started with the first Christmas of our son .. the tree was tied by rope to an anchor in the wall .. all ornaments were hand-made - not only so they weren't breakable, but we couldn't afford to buy them ! thus - a tradition was started ... still no lights .. still hand-made ornaments, even if I don't make them all .. like the feel of this tree .. hope you enjoy it as much as I do ! © All rights reserved Florida US tree ..
