The best ornaments

I'm proud of our little Christmas tree. This is only the 4th year that I have decorated a tree since being of the Jewish Persuasion I have had no reason to before I started shacking up with a gentile. I do, however, have a strict white and silver color rule. I feel like I am making up for years of anal retentive Christmas tree decorating by prohibiting any ornaments other than those of the white and silver variety. But it's my tree...so I do what I want. That's not to say that I don't like ornaments of other colors, I do...I just don't allow them on my tree but I do allow them in my blog. So please to enjoy some of the beautiful ornaments I have found on the interweb.


Here is a shot of our little tree

The following finds are from Crate and Barrel:

Glitter striped ball ornaments


A pickle ornament. I mean COME ONE...how awesome!


I think a great way to capture the memory of a special event like a marriage or a baby being born is with a framed ornament of the occasion. There is one one our tree with our wedding photo in it


Something to remind me of the motherland


Love this! Got one last year!


A moose wearing a cute hoodie...very representative of winter


This glitter frame ornament from Pottery Barn adds just the right amount of sparkle

Last year, my female parental unit brought us back some beautiful glass german ornaments. I have been looking online to find something equally as beautiful but have not been successful. Nevertheless, here are some of the nicer things I have found.
