Ornaments are my favorite part of Christmas.
I really love the vintage ones! My mum has some of the most gorgeous ornaments I'd ever seen! She is the one that actually got me started on 'vintage ornaments', I used to think they were hideous; "Why would people want chipped, faded, glitter missing ornaments"? Now I look at them and think, "wow, the older they are, the more special they are"! I just love looking at each one, wondering what they've been through, how many Christmas Tree's have they been on.. it really fascinates me. When I go into Thrift Stores, the first thing I head towards is the Christmas stuff, I just love searching for them! I actually found three packs of brand new tiny green, gold, and silver bulbs, with plastic tops, talk about old! Anyways, here are a few pretty ornaments I put on my tree last night. (Christmas is running a little slowww in my house this year, we are still decorating, and just now adding ornaments to to the tree, what a rush)!

I agree...the older the ornament the more spectacular they are. Great post!
We love this post! Our tree is always a potpourri of cracked and faded (but beautiful) ornaments that have been passed down through the years.. we just can't bring ourselves to throw any away!
I LOVE our old ornaments. They hold so much sentimental value. I'm hoping my mom will give me a lot of mine from my childhood when I get married and have a permanent home:)
great post! im actually going to ask my boyfriend's mom to send us some ornaments from his childhood to put on our tree.
I am in love with this post! May I borrow the idea in the near future to post about my favorite ornaments!? I will link back to you! I love these, they are so elegant and vintage looking. I have a few vintage ornaments that I absolutely treasure. It is so comforting to think that the ornaments that make you smile have once made another person or family smile, too.
