An Old Fashioned Tree
The tree is up and all of our decor is finished. We love an old fashioned tree filled with family heirlooms and collected ornaments from many past Christmas's. Very simple decor with the tree being the star of the show. At night the lights make the whole room glow.
A daytime view showing the many, many ornaments, and all the stocking ready to be filled.
Doves and angels for the season.
Vintage ornaments and toy ornaments collected by our children and grandchildren.
Lots of teddy's and stuffed animal ornaments too. A different one for each grandchild.
Just an old fashioned tree filled with tons of memories and lots of love.

Marty, your tree is beautiful! Your decorations are much like mine. Many with memories from many years ago. I even recognized a couple on your tree! Isn't it fun to pull them out and remember people and places are you decorate the tree!!
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks very much like ours...just a big collection from when the children were young, some ornaments that were gifts or found on trips and my favorite, the vintage ornaments I have from my late mom and dad...they are the most special!

ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteYour old fashioned tree is beautiful Marty!
ReplyDeleteYour tree reminds me of the many years that my mom would decorate her tree with all of the ornaments and crafts we made at school, keepsake ornaments that she received from friends and family. It was always such a treat to open up the boxes of decorations to rediscover all of those memories! I am sure you experience that same joy! Enjoy your tree :)
ReplyDeleteMarty, your Christmas tree is so pretty!

Love your tree. A "family style" tree is my favorite,and that's what I do. I still have an ornament made by my son in elementary school,and it always goes on the tree.
ReplyDeleteYour tree is beautiful, Marty.Have a great weekend.
Your tree is beautiful, Marty! I'm a traditionalist myself when it comes to my tree. I use ornaments we've collected over the years and pretty much stick with them. I do treat myself to one new ornament a year ~ something that really speaks to me or makes me smile. Lots of memories in those ornaments!
ReplyDeleteYour tree is so pretty! I love all the memories that collected ornaments bring to mind.
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

You definitely have some nostalgic looking ornaments on your tree. I bet you have a story for each one. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your old fashioned tree, Marty. It is so wonderful that it is filled with memories of Christmas past, and loved ones.
ReplyDeleteMarty, your family tree is just wonderful! The memories you must have! I enjoy opening the boxes of our collectibles and remembering what they all symbolize. I look forward to it each year! Thanks so much for sharing!

ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, Marty! I have a lot of those "special" ornaments & decided to do something different with them this year. I'll be sharing that later.

Marty,
ReplyDeleteLooking at your tree brought two words to mind...comfort & joy! The comfort of remembering all the times and celebrations of those ornaments when first placed upon the tree...and still today! The JOY of your loving children and grands that fill our lives daily! A beautiful Old Fashioned Christmas Tree!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Absolutely beautiful Marty! I love how full your tree is. We were given one instruction on decorating the tree at work and it was to make sure it is "dripping" with ornaments. You are spot on Lady! There is nothing more exciting then a tree loaded with ornaments in my book, even better when those ornaments carry so many wonderful memories. I love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Marty!!! I love your Christmas tree and decor! I also like a stuffed tree--mine is almost there! Nothing is more special than putting up meaningful ornaments years after year. A tree to tell your story. :)
