My Collections: Vintage Christmas Ornaments–Fruits, Seeds, Flowers, etc.

Most of these ornaments are much older–probably from the 1930s, possibly 1920s.

I just got another lovely silver pine cone ornament, but I haven’t photographed it yet. I like the lightly frosted pine cones a lot.

This next one might be a little newer. Note that the top is not as narrow as some of the others.

I’m not sure about this one. Cluster of berries?

The top on this next one has definitely been replaced.

This one is tiny and would have likely been used on a feather tree.

    I never knew you had so many lovely,unusual ornaments. You must have gotten some on your own over the years. Your berry ones are so interesting and in good shape. Enjoy!

    Thanks, Nana! :) I’ve picked them up along the way.

    I like these really old ones the best, I think.

    Yeah, Kim. My favorites overall are probably the ones from the ’30s. I’ll be posting more from the ’30s soon.
