Oh My bright199 You did REAL GOOD. What a nice find for all of that, at only 50 cents!!
I love old ornaments and those shiny brignts in the boxes, were a steal. Also, what beautiful crochet ornaments. I just get so sad, when I see things that were made, by someone, that no one in the family wants to hang on to, at least for sentimental value. Glad you were able to find them...I'm sure you will enjoy them for years to come.

I feel the same way Jane. It was a great deal, but the lady was more talented than I. Surely there was a grandchild that would treasure that beautiful handiwork somewhere in the picture. How sad.
Betty

OOOhhhh! I have the same ornaments : ) They are from my Nana. I have so many fond memories of Christmas with her as a little girl. I could never give them away like that. I will split them among my children.
My Mom said they are from the 1950's. Be careful, I tried to clean them up,gently wiping with a damp paper towel and it took the color right off.

Wow, Bright! What a great deal. I love those ornaments with the stripes--those are so neat. Now you need to go over to the crafts forum and locate Oddie's ornament wreaths that she made last year. They were so pretty, and these would sure make a nice one. I feel the same way as Jane and Betty about the crochet ones--I so admire anyone who can make things like that, but so often family members are just so used to them that they don't realize the talent and time that has gone into making them. Happy find for you though gal. Luvs

I have a lot of the glass ball ornaments from my Mom and Grandmother...They are so pretty that I often leave them out for an extra month or two...just heaped up in a cut glass bowl!!!...Yeah, I could be a redneck.....
Bright you hit the mother lode there!!! Good for you!
