I did get out my ceramic tree

[debodun]

I made this for mom about 50 years ago. My aunt has several and I mentioned it to her. She said I should get it out. It has glitter on the branch tips, but not very visible in this photo. It's abut 17 inches (43 cm) tall when on the base and not counting the top star.

Nice deb.

When my mother was doing one, she offered to make me one.
We had no room to store it so I refused the tree.
She did paint a small one without lights for me.

This year decided I wanted one.
Surprised at the prices on eBay,, prices ranged in $50 to triple ones.
Started checking antique stores.
Finally found one we liked & bought it.

I bought one at a thrift store a few years ago, after I moved here. Paid $4.00 for it and it had no base but Sonny put together a DIY one out of wood for me.




P.S. Sonny and his ex-wife had a kiln and they used to make these Christmas trees and sell them. He said they did good.

I like your cat figurines, katlupe.

I think my ceramic tree is on the thread,"Show us your Christmas tree"

I have a white ceramic tree made by my Best Aunt and finally put it out this week. It's gotta be at least 50 years old, probably more. Best part about it is that it doesn't have to be put up and decorated and then two weeks later un-decorated and taken down. No muss, no fuss, no bother!
