I've had these little angel ornaments since I was five, they were a gift from my father. I had five of them, and over the years, two have disappeared. We've often looked for them, in thrift shops, at yard sales and in antique stores - never finding any.
There is the sweet angel in meditation - complete with her spun angel hair cloud and shiny wings. . .
An angel with a lantern and wings, but no fluffy cloud . . .
And an angle with just her plastic wings - they all have these but they aren't always visible because of the shiny sparkly wings. She has no sparkly wings and not cloud upon which to float - but she holds her star proudly up for all to see . . .
And last week Don came home with the tiniest brown paper bag and inside was this sweet little angel with a candle, and holding a golden ball. Her shiny wings are almost gone, and she has no puffy soft cloud, but the other angels were so happy to see her that they made room on the tree and sang sweet songs together to welcome her. It made me cry.
OH!! Your husband was so sweet to find an ornament that matched the ones your Dad gave you!! He is a keeper for sure!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family!!
How sweet that he found this angel for you!Most guys I know don't "get into" things like this. My hubby surprized me by mentioning to his dad over the phone about an ornament I had made this year. Could have knocked me over with a feather!
ReplyDeleteThat Don, he sure is a keeper!! What a wonderful surprise for you!!

ReplyDeleteI have never seen this ornament before. I wonder how many different poses were made. As a person living with old stuff, I can
ReplyDeleteunderstand how happy you must be.
I agree with the rest that you've got one fine man.
Don is such a sweetheart. I love all your little angels, and all the ornaments you pictured in your last post.
