Christmas Season 2011 - The Swedish Institute Part 1



Mom and I went to the Swedish Institute today to look at their Christmas trees which are on display until January 8th. We found one tree that had the prickly silver ornaments pictured above. Mom said she used to make ornaments like these when she was a little girl. The pattern was from a Better-Homes-and-Gardens-type magazine. She said she took circles of aluminum foil and wrapped them around pencil tips and then somehow fashioned them all together. I seem to remember Grandma Jean having some ornaments like these.
