A few days after Christmas last year our friends brought us this sea shell ornament. It was the first ornament I put on the tree this year. The little scene inside is decoupaged, the back and edges of the shell are painted gold. I love it! Jerry started asking a couple of weeks ago when was I going to decorate the house, the decorations bring him a lot of joy. My teenage neighbors came two days ago and helped bring everything in. It’s quite an undertaking and I am taking my time, I should be through by tomorrow. Smile.
Wonderful, at first I thought it to be a slice of wood and thought what a good crafty idea, which I could perhaps copy!! But obviously this is much more delicate and beatiful
@ludwigsdiana we have a friend in Montana who starts texting me in October “when are you going to decorate?” Just in the last year she has become quite ill. She told me a few days ago she was just going to look at my photos this year, she’s too weak to decorate. So I had to decorate! 🥰
@beryl I’m sure you can purchase some seashells like this, it’s an oyster shell I believe. It would be so wonderful to hand paint the design as only you could do. 🥰
@grammyn I’m taking my time. Fortunately I rise early and can really get a lot done while Jerry sleeps. My body makes me take care of it, in fact it insists. Laugh out loud!
that is one lovely bling for the tree. aces! looking great on that tree. wait! you still have to go through your thanksgiving!😊 even back in the old country, we would wait for the american thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas.
this gave me an idea about what to do with some of my shells. must drag my big butt and do something useful.
What a beautiful decoration, so unusual. No wonder it was the first one to be put on your tree this year. I am sure all your ornaments will have stories attached to them and a great reminder as you attach each one.
Lovely sea shell and a great ornament to hand on the Christmas Tree. We are still far from putting up our Christmas trees but all over Malta people wait for a closer date to Christmas to set up their decorations of course, apart from the shops.
I couldn't agree more; this is beautiful! The best CHristmas trees, to my mind, tell a story in every ornament! Anything else just belongs in a restaurant!

How wonderful that your neighbours helped, you always have so many beautiful decorations which must be difficult to transport on your own.
Looking forward to seeing your tree once decorated :-)
I got tired just thinking about decorating. So nice of you to go to all that trouble and I know Jerry will love it but don’t exhaust yourself.
