No, not really! Just kidding! I HATE snow. It's cold, wet and messy. Yuck! But I do love snowflakes. Go figure. I have a collection of snowflake pendants, earrings and pins and you can see I'm wearing several of them today. Penguins, snowflakes and palm trees. There's no rhyme or reason to my collecting, is there?
The other pin I'm wearing is one from my grandmother. It's pretty old. When she died 10 years ago, I picked this out of her things. It always makes me think of her and the little ceramic Christmas tree she always put on top of her console tv. Anyone else's grandmother have a tree like this:

Happy Weekend, Y'all!!
I think the tree was a staple in every home of the 70's. My grandmother here in America had one also and this post brought back such good memories.
ReplyDeleteLove all the bling! Looks chic on you. And how special about some of them coming from your grandma :)

Love the snowflakes! You do Christmas is a fun, yet classy way!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to remember your grandmother. I love your brooch collection! I'm more of an animal brooch collector, but seasonal ones are pretty rad.
ReplyDeleteI hate snow too! I get that it's so beautiful, but it causes such a mess around here (people not knowing how to drive, going crazy at the grocery store). I am not looking forward to the temperature drop here...
OMG when I saw that tree, all my relatives in NM have one of those. Cracks me up I love it. I also love your quote from Steel Magnolia's it's one of my very favorite lines from the movie and I use it all the time. Also really like the boots, you look great in this outfit.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I love the 70s! I really like how you've rolled up your pants to show off your boots....when they're that great, why keep them covered?! LOL I say, "Let it snow!" I love having all the seasons! BTW, great pins! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteMy mom has that exact tree!!! lol
ReplyDeleteGreat brooch! My parents have that tree, my aunt made it in a ceramics class pretty close to 40 years ago!
ReplyDeleteThanks, y'all!!
ReplyDeleteApparently this tree was popular all over the country in the 70s!!
Hey, Pam, I can do Christmas tacky, too. Maybe I should spend a week wearing my tacky Christmas sweaters? What do y'all think? LOL
Love that tree!! Reminds me so much of my Aunt Nee!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've seen a tree like this! Magical! I really like all your snowflake bling. We are having flurries tonight in the KC area, although the wind is making it sound like it is worse than it is.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmother has a tree like that, and one year I asked her why it was not turned on. She replied, "Oh sweetie, I've tried to get it to work, I've even sent it in for repairs, and they couldn't get it to work either." So, I picked it up and looked at it, and replied, "Well did you put batteries in it?" Her reply, "It takes batteries?!" I had no other response but to shake my head.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL!!!! Mae, that's hysterical!
ReplyDeleteThat tree is over the top. You have to be sure that your mother leaves that to you!
ReplyDeleteWe have a Christmas breakfast tradition. Back when Julia Child started on TV my mother made croissants. They are a lot of work, you're rolling and buttering nearly all day. She made them for a several years and decided that the frozen ones from Sara Lee were pretty good and switched to those.
So we have croissants and cocoa, and say that Sara made them.
I love that Rose!! And don't worry, I'll be the one to get that tree, cause I'm the ONLY one! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'll probably put it on top of our piano!
LOVE the snowflake necklace. Better than the real thing! (I just discovered your post but it looks like we were both thinking about our dislike of snow yesterday!)
ReplyDeleteOh yea, my grandmother had one of those trees.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what happened to it after she passed away.
My parents still have that same exact tree! They always put it up in the living room. :)
