I have never seen this type of ornament hangers. Love them.

Pam, this all I can find on line and I couldn’t get a link posted. Mine are gold with a snowflake design. They are more classy looking than the snowman that’s pictured. I found some at hobby lobby (I think) last year but when I had the money to buy a bunch they were gone. If I get a chance I’ll post a picture of mine if they are handy. If I find them this year I’ll post the source.

I've never seen clips like this - will definitely be looking for them.

That's my favorite part, takes me hours with oohing and aahing over every ornament, remembering who gave it to us or what occasion it commemorates. Even if I had all the money in the world, I wouldn't turn my tree decorating over to someone else.

That is my favourite part too. DD comes over and she is the official tree fluffer. Once she gets it looking good we add the decorations. There is many a cry of "I remember this one" or "I love this one". One of my favourite parts of Christmas.

I have never seen those either. Will keep an eye out for them.

Can't access from work, will have to look it up tonight. Thanks MissJoDee

I LOVE my rotating base, it makes decorating so easy and it's nice to be able to enjoy all of the ornaments at the front and back of the tree. One of the best decorating investments we've made.

Do you have an artificial tree?

 

[Holiday_Mom]

So tell us, what was the impulse purchase at Hobby Lobby?

It was a wood plaque painted navy blue that said "O Holy Night" in gold.

 

[PamelaG]

Do you have an artificial tree?

Yes. Several of them! I just can't deal with the mess of a real one although I know they smell wonderful. I get around that by hanging a Thymes Fraser Fir decorative sachet in the branches - it's not really a sachet, more like an oval decorative heavy card ornament. I need to refresh it with some essential oils.

Found them on Ebay and in another post that said they were purchased from CVS. I don't think about places like CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens when I am doing my Christmas shopping but I will this year. Hope they bring them, or something similar, back in stock.

Will look at ebay and Ali express and see what I can find. Thanks.

Jody, love these ideas particularly the "tree" made from the old saws and the last link with the flour sifter. A gorgeous way to remember our Grandparents

I never would thing to look in the drug store. I’ll have to keep an eye out there too. I know when I was in the Christmas store in Amish country they didn’t have them. I wonder if Lowe’s or Home Depot might carry them too. Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately mine are not handy to pull out right now.

Jody love the ideals. The saws and tires.

Walgreens usually has some different items at Christmas time.
