This week at the thrift store, a box of old ornaments. Dressed in vintage colors, angels singing.
A snip to remove the old strings, they were arranged into two little holiday vignettes in my craft area.
I find myself inspired.

I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome. I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop. For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.    
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

They look like the wooden figurines in “Prayer for a Child”, a B4FIAR book. If you have a copy, get it our and look. That is one of my 3yo’s favorite books!
Dear Lynn,
Aren’t they sweet! I love vintage ornaments, too (You’re not surprised, are you?)~There’s something comforting about them.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving; we’ll be getting some letters out to ya’ll soon!
Love,
Marqueta
Oh yes! I would have NEEDED these delights as well…
Chris, I’ll check that out! I have that but forgot about it. We’ll take a look!
Marqueta, no I am not one bit surprised! Aren’t they sweet?
Jeanne, you are so right about the situation! I NEEDED them. Yeah. That’s it.
