day three of the twelve days of Christmas ornament swap

You know....

tinsel makes me happy!

I forgot how much until I opened my package from JoAnna Periotti.
I must admit, JoAnnA knows EXACTLY what makes my heart go pitter patter....

 My ornament came wrapped in a vintage envelope addressed to Mr. Arthur D. Shamp who lived in Louisiana in the year of 1921.

How ccol is that?

 

Each of our ornaments were a signature soldered creation of JoAnnA's.

Of course they were adorned with bits and pieces of vintage seam binding, soft silk tulle, and old mother of pearl buttons.

She stamped our initial on the vintage charlotte doll picture inside,

then covered her with a glass prism blanket that she made look just like vintage mercury glass.

Just below she attached/soldered a small loop of silver ball chain, which has more softness made with hand-dyed silk, tulle, net and a small mop button. 

So now, here she is...all laid on top of my favorite white chippy topped stool. 
She looks beautiful there doesn't she?
But, you know where she is now...happily hanging on my Christmas tree destined to become another one of my very favorites!!
Thank you JoAnnA.
I LOVE it!
