An angel from the sixties. My mom used to have her on our tree when I was a child. She gave her to me, and then my boys took turns throughout the years placing her on top of our tree. This year the honor reverted back to me! She’s a kitschy little gal–gotta love her choker and pipe cleaner arms, the gossamer cape and glitter evening gown.

Christine, this is sooo lovely!
Now, if only I could find our old star(in the 1960’s…) we usedta put at the top of the tree.It was bright blue, with a tiny bulb in the center, which shone like silver!

Thanks, Julie. She’s been around a long time, but she manages to stay in style. 🙂

I looked at this over the holidays and didn’t comment. Thought I did. I love her…Mom has one about as old I’d like to have one day. 🙂
