It is officially winter ~ and albeit slowly ~ the minutes of daylight will be increasing. Where I live in the Eastern Time Zone, sunset is currently 5:02 pm.
Today I will share a few of my attic finds. Things I came across in the attic when I was up there cleaning/purging in the spring.
I believe I already showed St. Nick, made by the talented Rhonda, who got tucked away in a box and not put with the Christmas items. I was so happy to finally have him back under the tree.
In the same box was Santa whose coat is an old quilt.
A snowman gourd purchased many years ago at a craft show that I had completely forgotten about.
And last but not least . . . I have mentioned many times that my mom did beautiful ceramics back in the day.
Another snowman.
Little Santa that had not been antiqued. I didn't do the best job antiquing him but wanted to display him nonetheless.
Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
I saved the best for last. I don't know why the Little Drummer Boy had been tucked away for so many years. My mom was so proud of this piece and I am thrilled to have him.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I'd better go check my list!!! Lots of piddly stuff on it that I need to accomplish today.
Pug hugs 😊

The ceramic pieces are so adorable! Precious too. Janice
ReplyDeleteGreat you found treasured pieces your Mom created !!! Things my mother made are so special to me too ! I would sit & watch her make most of them . Have a Very Merry Christmas Lauren !!!
ReplyDeleteMy mother didn't have any hobbies. But do slightly remember her trying to crochet a circular rug which ended up like a but bucket since she didn't increase her stitches. But the memory is so vague maybe it was even a dream, lol.
ReplyDeleteForgot the important part...lucky you to have such crafty memories of your mom!!!!
DeleteWonderful finds!!!

Your attic is a trove of treasures!! All great "re-discovered" finds but the best are your mom's ceramics of course. My mom never had time for crafts/hobbies. (Being on a farm and then widowed with young children can be a huge drain on your time.) I know she did learn to crochet at some point later in life, but she never did much with it. Her "hobby" was more cooking/baking and making sure we all were beyond well-fed.
