[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 2803768, member: 31"]I thought you might like to see some of the ornaments that were in the huge ephemera lot I got from [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] a few months ago. For those of you who don't know, these ornaments were usually home made, using chromolithographed embossed paper ("scrap"), crinkle wire, tinsel, cellophane, and sometimes spun cotton and metallic decorations. On some of mine, the tinsel has turned completely black - I'm not sure if it's oxidation or what but I quite like these ones. Most of them have some small areas of damage - the tip of a wing missing, or a blossom here or there. I don't know how this will affect sales. Any and all comments and questions are welcomed. Measurements include the tinsel. 4 2/4" x 5" [ATTACH=full]281123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]281124[/ATTACH] 7" x 4 1/2" [ATTACH=full]281125[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]281126[/ATTACH] 6 3/4" x 9 3/4" [ATTACH=full]281127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]281128[/ATTACH] 7" x 8" [ATTACH=full]281130[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]281131[/ATTACH] 5 1/2" x 8" [ATTACH=full]281132[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]281133[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
