This tree sits in the corner of the hallway next to the window on the second floor of my house. I had to purchase a bigger tree for my elf collection this year. I love these fun, kitschy knee hugger elves. I have expanded this collection to include funky flocked ornies. Also I am always looking for the handmade felt ornies, the ones that someone so meticulously sat and stitched with embroidery and sequins!
Mr georgiapeachez bought himself a new camera so these are my first pictures using it. Sweet! I only know how to use the auto and close up setting so far.
I can’t wait to open those pretty packages under the tree. Those are all for me! from my BFF Beth. I know they are something really special!
I also have some special ornies on here this year that are from my good friend Susan and from my blog friend Sadie Lou Who.
It’s true, come December I revert to being 8 years old! My 16yo has been infected by my holiday decorating virus. We are starting her christmas ornie hope chest this year. I want her to be equipped and ready to decorate her own tree when she leaves home!
I love this ornie. It is a ceramic egg that has been glazed and decorated. On the back it was signed in gold glaze "Pat ’75". I bought this in one of those grab bags of stuff that they always put together at the thrift store. I love those!! I get some of my best vintage ornies that way. The thrift store gets all this loose stuff donated so they just fill up a plastic bag with sort a kinda like items and put a crazy price on it. $1.98 or $2.97 or sometimes even $0.75!! It is worth it just to find 2 or 3 treasures in the bag.

Wow! You have managed to collect so many vintage ornaments! I recognize the knee hugging “santa”! I have him too! He’s been in my family since the 50’s I think. He is so special that I don’t put him on my tree, he sits on a red shelf in my kitchen! Don’t you just love those thrift store grab bags?

You sure do have a nice collection! I love those “grab bags” at the thrift store, too! Where can we find such a thrill of a find for under $2? Nice to get to play with a new camera!

I am enchanted! This tree is wonderful…you are the best collector. Love, the elves, and the egg ornament is to die for. Funny, I also have a collection of felt ornies made by other women. When I see them at a sale, I just can’t pass them up. They have soul to them. I will be writing a post about this at some point. xxoo, Susan

I found a bunch of bags of ornaments like those as well as individual ones at Habitat For Humanity last week, but alas, I don’t celebrate Christmas so I didn’t buy them!!
Next time I go, I’ll see if they’re still there and grab them for you if you want.
