Every year as I put out the decorations onto my tree I think about each bauble as I place it on a branch. Each one of them tells a story.
We were poor and newly married. These came from Woolworths (no longer trading) In a box for £2.75. I tied ribbons to the branches because we didn’t have much money.
Grandma went to America.
We lived near the village of Tutbury. Famous for its lead crystal manufacture. These get fewer every year. I have thrown the tree out with one still on on more than one occasion.
Then there are the ones which I have made
The regulars
And the the newest addition.
I think that's a great little story! I loved Woolies and I miss it - it was so handy for bits and pieces. Plus, I live very near to Tutbury!!! I have some lead crystal glasses from there that I never use for fear of breaking them! lol :)
