Actually those kind of homemade ornaments, Greta, are the best kind! I bet they were wonderful!

Thank you, Kathy, I'm glad you stopped by. My aunt sure does beautiful work. There is something about German linens and their needlework that is very special and unique. Glad you have a piece to treasure. Mom brought me quite a few over the years from Germany and I just love and treasure them.

Ooh, stars and icicles - love them. These remind me of the time we visited my grandmother on her farm in Texas and made our own ornaments for the tree! Ours were pretty amateurish - chestnuts wrapped in silver cigarette pack wrapping, popcorn garlands - but as a 7-year-old I loved them. (I'm late to comment here - just got a bunch of posts that I missed restored to my Google Reader.)

It is delightful visiting your Christmas memories. I feel as if I am back in my favorite place, Saarburg, able to find unique German artistry such as your aunt's Kloppeln or my hand embroidered coffee-table cloth in red with its gold embroidery. I get it out every year and am so glad I yielded to temptation and bought it.

LOL, Wendy, thank you, you made me smile! We are all winners! I was lucky enough to inherit some wonderful Christmas treasures from my mom. Before she passed, each Christmas she would gift me a set of ornaments. The ancestry tree is special and came about doing our family history, the doily, oh yeah, my auntie in Germany is amazing!

Thank you, Betty, you can tell our family loves Christmas!

I am unworthy! I am unworthy! You win -- the ornaments are wonderful, but that memory tree and the Kloppeln doily are magnificent. I'm speechless.

Thank you, Catherine! I know very well about that missing thing . . . I very much miss mom's Christmas' . . . having her ornaments keeps me close though and brings back so many memories too.

Beautiful! I'm going to miss seeing my mom'...

Beautiful! I'm going to miss seeing my mom's tree this year (not going home to visit until spring). She has so many ornaments that she's purchased, made, and gotten as gifts over my 50+ years that bring back memories of Christmas gone by. I love the memory tree idea!
