These little Christmas ornaments were purchased by my maternal grandparents,
Nathaniel Gardner & Helen F. Coyle Gardner.
They were actually electric bulbs to be lit on the tree.
Nathaniel & Helen bought these the year my mother was born;
her first Christmas 1928 in New York City.
My mother, Alberta Joy Gardner Brown, gave these little treasures to me.
I do not hang them because I do not want them to fall & break but I put them out on display in a little clear glass bowl. I think they are adorable and quite special.
Beautiful Colleen, a treasure! Hope you are having a lovely Christmas, and wishing you a healthy New Year.
ReplyDeleteBoth are special ornaments and it's wonderful that you display them during the holidays (safely, in a bowl) so the family is reminded of their history! Stay well and happy new year 2021.
ReplyDeleteYour bulb ornaments are just adorable, especially the little face. I think it's amazing that they are still intact after so many years. You and your family have done a great job keeping them safe!
