A member of a department store Facebook group I follow posted a picture of her mother and grandmother's Christmas jewelry she inherited [photo below]. It was a fairly large and beautiful collection of jewelry from Christmases past - mostly Christmas trees. It reminded me of Angela McRae [who loves all vintage Christmas things, including jewelry] at Tea With Friends blog. Do stores even sell Christmas jewelry anymore?
The post prompted me to photograph my small Christmas jewelry collection - which is mostly all my mother's except for the two pairs of poinsettia earrings and two brooches on the right outer edge [red bow and gold bell]. The large, gaudy, gold sequined star is also mine. Totally out of character for me, but I saw it in an antique store a few years back and bought it.
I am curious if you have a collection of Christmas brooches - either yours or one that belonged to a family member. Did you wear any Christmas jewelry this year? Do you actively collect Christmas jewelry? PLEASE come out of lurking and share. I'm looking forward to your comments. This could be a fun discussion while sipping tea.
