Here’s one of several ornaments I
found in the clearance section of Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland. I used it
today to try out my idea for this year’s Festival of Trees at the
Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton. I just found out that the theme this
year is “The Art of the Tree.” I’m going to find all the ornaments attributed
to actual artists and mount them inside empty frames. I’m thinking of calling
it “Antarctic Art Gallery” or “Penguins at an Exhibition” or both. This ornament
(which may or may not be a duplicate) will not be on the tree, but it was near at hand for the dry run.
I haven’t unpacked any ornaments
yet, but I have unpacked two trees, including the new tall tree I want to use
at the museum. Meanwhile, all the new ornaments (more coming in almost every
day now) are hanging on a little metal rotating tree that I also found at
Bronner’s. I’m planning to fill it with miniature ornaments, but this is what
it looks like with 60-odd haphazard ornaments of all sizes and shapes.
