What a cute package you got, Robinlee! (Her name is becky w on the board.) I bet you could hang that snowman card on your tree too like the Victorians did years ago. Is it hand embroidered?

CookyIN, I was debating on whether to send that again or something else. Guess it's kind of my "signature" thing huh?.
I received a beaded ornament last year, they are so pretty. I ordered a kit that makes 4 to do some more of them from Herrschners. Let me tell you I have a whole new appreciation for them. Put one together this last week and it took me 7 hours and that was only 1 ornament.....still have the other 3 to go. At this rate maybe I'll get them done within the next 3 -4 years.
I remember the bubble lights too, always on my Mother's tree. I use to sit as a little girl and just watch them, great memories

RobinLee what an adorable ornament. I love the postcard. I would hang it on the tree too. I remember the bubbling lights and also we had glass ornaments that were different shapes and painted. We had a Santa a train engine,a snowman even a stocking. I've seen some made of plastic to look like them. Not bad but just not the same.

I think there's a company in the USA that still makes ribbon candy using the old mechanical device. I saw it on Martha Stewart once. They stretch out the candy and then run it through a hand turned machine -- the handle is similar to that of a hand crank sewing machine -- that crimps a perfect ribbon. I'm pretty sure I saw some of it in Cracker Barrel a few weeks ago.

I just purchased a new artificial tree! This one wasn't cheap but it looks like a real tree, not like most of the trees I've seen for sale locally. I can't wait to get it!! And I'll have a new ornament to put on it too!!
On another note, I am allergic to chocolate, so please don't send any my way. I love licorice!
