Howdee all,
I am going backward before I go forward.
Before I show you our first Christmas in our Homey…I want to show you our last Christmas in our Brookline, Ma. home.
Ever since I was a young gal, I have collected Christmas ornaments and décor.
I delivered newspapers as a young gal and saved up my Christmas tips to buy decorations…actually most of my Sickstas did the same thing…we all loved Christmas decorations.
Luckily I married a Jewish man who didn’t mind my Christmas décor fetish.
Come on in and take a look..
Christmas 2000
Notice the Menorah and Christmas tree.
A happy blending of traditions…
Living in a condo and having no yard to plant a real tree in…I opted for a fake tree…I used the same tree for many years.
Most from estate sales.
I put them in my antique glass vases..
Maybe around age 12..
My sweet Ballie playing with ribbon…
I miss that fur ball!
Think these are in storage.
I hope you enjoyed the tour…
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays..
From Dawn in December of 2000
You sure did have a wonderfully decorated house. Hmmmmm, I think I might go take a visit upstairs in the attic.

Wow, you surely did have decoration fever. I used to decorate a little but have really gotten out of the habit. Maybe tomorrow I'll dig out the tree, all 8" of it. Happy Holidays to you both.
ReplyDeleteI remember those days! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou decorated beautifully, Dawn! I hope you still have everything packed away safety somewhere. Your collection of glass ornaments is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWell these shots are getting us all in the mood Dawn.
ReplyDeleteDawn, you did decorate beautifully. I use to do more and have cut back drastically. I have a small tree and that is it.
ReplyDeleteSo warm and cozy! Reminds me of my childhood, Dawn.

ReplyDeleteI got rid of half of my decorations when we were cleaning out your attic...you should have taken some then! :))

I recently went thru my belongings in my Sickstas attic and got rid of lots of Christmas decorations..think I kept lots of the glass.

I have nothing this year except for Christmas Cactus~We leave for Connecticut for Christmas and Homey stays here in NC. So~I haven't felt the need to decorate..maybe next year I will get a small tree or Poinsettia.
