little Christmas uniquities ~

I recently came across a few old Christmas ornaments that are quite unique and so very sweet!

 I am just in love with the funky color combination of fuschia, lime green and turquoise on these!


 Definitely handmade.  Imagine the time and patience it took!

This one is a little house shaped from old glass bead garland with a petite lime green glass ball inside.

This poor star is broken with a few pieces missing, but still sweet nonetheless.

5 little bells tied together with old tinsel.......they just don't make tinsel like that anymore!

 this little guy's body is a pine cone.....he's painted in the prettiest tiffany box blue and sprinkled with sparkles
 

and one old milk glass Christmas house light bulb.....not sure that it still works.....probably not as it has string tied to it where someone, at some point in this bulb's life, decided to make it into an ornament

It's the little things that make me smile!
Anything make you smile lately?

P.S.  These are all available for sale and will be in my booth at Heritage Square Antique Mall sometime tomorrow.

I was just googling to find those "handmade" ornaments when I found your site (love it, btw!) I just got a collection of vintage ornaments from my grandparents and now have about 13 just like those! 1 still has a tag that says "made in Japan" on one side and "Blume" with a tulip on the other side. Most of the ornaments in the box are from the mid 50s. It was fun to see some just like what I have!
