I have sewn a little bit of silver tinsel around her skirt to refresh her outfit a little, but she still goes on our tree every year, and must be at least 50 years old.<br /><br />JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524842310373619488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-62032801681336837492013-04-21T22:07:51.106+01:002013-04-21T22:07:51.106+01:00Great finds, especially the fairy-I'd love to ...Great finds, especially the fairy-I'd love to find one of those myself.

See, it's a bonus to be a total slacker like me and not clean anything! You certainly have an eye for a crate, Emma Kate (which rhymes) and I look forward to seeing what you do with these. And we also had that fairy/angel on top of our Christmas tree when I was little, she must be late 1950s-early 1960s, I reckon. xxxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-3804652846848848842013-04-20T20:57:39.216+01:002013-04-20T20:57:39.216+01:00Gorgeous rug, it's so pretty, very good condit...Gorgeous rug, it's so pretty, very good condition by the looks too.
