Decorated a week ago, tree and outdoor star. Here's an artifact: My childhood stocking.
Holey now, but such fond memories won't allow me to toss it out.
I was presented this angel ornament at age 3 by my Sunday School teacher. It's been a treasure all my life, and still has the original clapper string!

This handmade one was a going away gift, when our time was up in Russia.
She's beautiful!
I adore these little guys, also from Russia. Each one has the name of a Russian city or village.
My cousin Chris is an artist, and this wonderful okra pod ornament was tied to my gift one year.
She painted the face beautifully.
HAHA! I forgot about those okra!
