Tonight's ornaments are early Hallmark ornaments. I would say that theye are mid 70s...these look a bit different than today's very detailed Hallmark ornaments...I would say that the price of these ornaments is a lot different than today's also! The card ornament was sent to us from my Aunt Lois and Uncle Don...the little felt/yarn ornament is also from them. Melany and Nathan also got a type of this felt ornament from them the same year we got ours. Theirs are now in their possession. I just think that it is intersting as to how the Hallmark ornaments have evolved over the years. I don't think that the little choir boy is even marked as Hallmark. I'm sure that the card is marked on the back as Hallmark cards are. Today has been a busy 2nd day of December. I worked this morning getting the outside Fall decorations brought back inside and then put out the Christmas/Winter decorations...I don't do much outside...pillows on the rockers and glider and a wreath on the door, a doormat and a yard flag...oh, and, a snowman on one of the tables. While I was doing that I got a package containing new cushions for my glider rocker in the family room. I started getting the chair dusted and polished, but had to quit as I had a haircut appointment at noon and then I headed straight to the church as Donna and I had plans to work in the library. We got out Christmas books to display in the windows and on the top of the shelf for the children. Both this morning and afternoon, I worked on getting Thanksgiving foods ready to go in the freezer. I froze some gravy so it will be ready when I want to make enchiladas next. I also cut up and froze turkey so it is all ready for a casserole or two...perhaps Turkey Olé or Turkey Crunch...both recipes my Mother shared with us years ago. I washed the Fall pillow covers so they will be ready for next Fall. Then I wrestled with getting the chair cushions onto my chair...these are the heaviest cushions that I have ever seen/felt. They are supposed to be such that they won't flatten...I don't think that they will! The hardest was getting the chair back cushion tied on and getting adjusted to the right height since its weight was pulling it down. I think that I have gotten them positioned correctly now. I am pretty tired...but I would really like to go baste around Joy's hem. I got it pinned up last night before I went to bed. It is amazing how long it takes to baste around just one skirt! I need to get these done so the girls can come over and see if they are right or need to be adjusted more. Time is ticking away for this wedding...just three weeks from Saturday. Oh, my! I have a very busy weekend which includes a needlework event online. I am wanting to get the ornaments sewn up so I can stuff them while I am watching and/or visiting with stitchers. But time seems to be getting away from me. I also want to finish my cards and get my packages ready to mail to AZ and AL. All I can say to all this is: 'TIS THE SEASON! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
