Thinning my ornament collection

Image
Thinning my ornament collection is going to take a while. I guess you cannot collect for nearly 50 years and expect to let go quickly or easily. Of course a few have broken over time but I have boxes full. I will be listing some and gifting some and hanging some back in the tree. Some are Hallmark collectible that were gifted to me and others are from the ornament exchanges I participated in over the years.   So this cutie does not have much history: He is a 1998 Hasbro Tinkertoy elf trimming the tree with an angel.  This precious peace dove glove came from an ornament exchange. Nice in bisque dates to about 15 years ago.  The hardest one to offer up came from my MIL in 1970. The  Gorham Cut Crystal Christmas Angel  with the Gold wings Ornament is from 1970 made in Germany. She bought me an ornament every year from a charity group she supported. 

the Hawaiian Christmas shirt

We went to Goodwill this week for their 50% off sale and George went crazy with the Hawaiian shirts. Note that he has at least 20 in the closet already. He found several more to bring home but neglected to try them on. Not everything marked his size fits. I get to offer up this crazy adorable  santa shirt  for sale now.  yes it is so supercool but it does not fit him and I am not really into this kind of shirt. Wonder if it would work for one of those parties where everyone wears something a bit crazy?
