………………….All of the ornaments on the tree have a story to tell…..The Gold Cupid at the upper left was a gift from Kate…..We have a collection of porcelain ornaments, at least a dozen, that were given to Jac I by her distant cousin, Frank, in Berlin. Jac’s Mom used to have a large porcelain bust of her great great grand mother that was brought over from Europe when most of the family moved to America. When Jac’s Mom moved in with us the bust came to our home, and for years was in Jac’s Mom’s room. When Jac’s Mom passed it was on Jac’s mind what we should do with this bust? She decided it should go to her cousin Frank. Jac’s Mom had gifted Frank a very old, but lovely farm house her great great grand mother lived which was in Belgium on the border with Germany. She wanted Frank to have the bust in this house….a true full circle. Frank was thrilled to have both the house and then the bust, because it was his relative too. He sent us beautiful pictures of the bust in the farm house…It was perfect and Jac was thrilled!…..Which brings me to the porcelain ornaments. It just so happens that the porcelain factory where the bust was made all those many years ago is still open, and among the many things they manufacture are Christmas ornaments!!! So we now have these lovely white and gold ornament made in the same factory as Jac’s great great grandmother’s bust that Frank sent to us……..Again, a full circle.
