Hi Sheila, This is beautiful! The bulb above the green one looks like a distant window and gives the impression that this is outside. Even the right edge looks like snow. \/

Are you not sure how old your girls are then? ROTFL!! Outstanding shot! And Yes, the old (baubles) are the best!

The parents tree had the same type of ornament. They were so delicate & handling with care was imperative. This brings back some good memories.

I would never be forgiven if I left the old ones off - they are the special ones - most of ours have a little story attached. I even have a kangaroo and koala now cmpliments of friends in Oz! Chris

Brings back memories for me too! I guess these glittering baubles become part of the magic of Christmas if you were involved in decorating the tree each year. ~V~
