Family Treasure

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 5 December 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

This felt Santa was made by a relative in the early 1950's. My brother and I liked it on our tree back then, as did our three children, and now our two local grandchildren also look for him on our tree!

I love Tradition and old family treasures...my parents have been dead for quite a while and I was shopping in an old store and they had used items and much to my delight I found some old glass ornaments that were exactly like those my parents had always put up when we were children, and behind the box it said Montreal, which is where I was born, so it's touching, and I can't wait for my sister and brothers to see them lol

@Lorraine: How wonderful that you found the old glass ornaments - what a treasure!
I have cousins in Huntingdon, not far south of Montreal. :D

Well he's great; but I like the star effect you processed into Santa's portrait, too. Outstanding, Judy. Prayers for Belle from me and Bella.
