Deck the Halls with Vintage Balls!

Hi everyone! I'm joining Deck the Halls and It's A Wonderful Life parties with a small post today. I'd like to share my G-Mom-B's "big" Christmas balls. I had to use the flash so the pics are a little harsh.

 I can't remember a time that these balls weren't a part of our Christmas.
(So they're about 50 years old... not that I am, we're just talking about the balls:@)

They are 3 1/2" wide, but these days I chuckle at the way my family always referred to them as 

"the BIG Christmas balls", I have some newer ones that are at least 6"! 

(See the red and green one to the left in the next pic?)

As with most vintage items, they've seen better days.
But I look forward to bringing them out each year and they are still beautiful to me!

One more thing to love, my son has already mentioned that he would like them next!
Have a happy day:@)
