My Favorite Christmas Ornaments

December 3, 2009

The great big fake tree is out of the attic and nicely posed in front of our big window.  Sure, I’d love a real tree, but I’m trying to cut back on my carbon or something.  This year, I’ve kept the tree simple.  Dameian and I hung a bunch of red apples and red mini disco balls plus these favorites.

This first ornament was sent to me by Linda, of Robin’s Egg Blues.  She has a lovely blog with lots of pretty blue inspiration.  I love the ornament she sent me.  It sparkles with glitter and rhinestones and makes a sweet addition to our tree.

My top picks:

This owl kind of reminds me of Fritz.

Christmas tree lights make great backgrounds.

My muse of the day, Sir Roscoe.

I’m just falling apart at the way the lights are reflected in his eye.

Those are all lovely pictures, but I LOVE the last 3! Enjoy having beautiful ornaments now… my tree looks ridiculous this year now that my almost 2-yr old can help. (And I absolutely ADORE it!) :)

What a pretty kitty. I can see why the top ornament is one of your favorites.

I hope that you will come by and see the ornaments I made: pearl encrusted star, crystal and button ball and an anthro inspired tree topper.

We have that same silver pig ornament! Got it as a wedding present for our Christmas wedding (pig-themed items are a funny tradition in my hubby’s fam). Nice to find your blog!
