Hi Dorie these are very special ornaments and beautiful as well! Geno was such a thoughtful man. Enjoy the joy of looking at your beautiful tree.

Dorie,

Love your special ornaments, and we have several!  I have not looked at them for over 12 years, because with cats a tree is not safe. In Napa, I took some out and decorated the fireplace mantle with greens and ornaments.  Now just a wreath with ornaments on the door.  A

Dorie, I don't know which one of our ornaments I would consider my favorite but my wife gets one that is special for each year, normally Hallmark ornaments.  She has been doing this every year we have been married, which is now 46 years, so 46 ornaments. ☺️

Hello Dorie - the Zig Ziglar quote acts as an ideal ending to your post much like a special ornament in our collection.  Wonderful memories.  

Hi Dorie- Geno's buying you those eggs is a testament to how much he loved you and of his thoughtfulness. I love the memories you have of the ornaments. 

Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR How thoughtful of Gino. Faberge eggs are so special as was he. You have such special memories to cherish

Dorie-How incredibly beautiful your ornaments are and how very special your memories.  I know you cherish them. 

Special ornaments always touch the heart especially the ones that remind us of  a loved one Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR Obviously Geno had a good eye and tender heart.

We have a closet full of Hallmark and other beautiful Designer ornaments but my favorite ones are those that my grandchildren have made.

some people might call them scraps of paper or beads but they are very special to me and my wife.

Happy Thursday afternoon Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR 

My favorite ornament is actually a crystal snowflake given to me by one of my daughters.  In fact, I opted to hang it at my kitchen window, where it stays year round!

Thank you for sharing your story with us and I love all your ornaments.  My favorite ornaments are the ones that were given to us by close friends.  It is funny how I forget so much, but I can remember who gave us an ornament 30 years ago.

Wow, those are some great looking ornaments.  I don't decorate a tree for myself, but on my Mom's tree, I think my favorite ornaments are the ones that show my brothers and me when we were young.

Dorie, you do have some very special ornaments that will live on with so many years of memories.

Ornaments that have warm memories are the most beautiful of all. I love your post and the photos you shared. Very special. 

Hi Dorie,
I know each of those ornaments must bring back very special memories for you.  It is the homemade ornaments and special gifts that are my favorites too.

What beautiful ornaments! I love all the gold. It's wonderful to be able to put ornaments on the tree and remember where they came from and what they mean. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR - I love those ornaments in our home too.  We put them up every year.  And grandson Max with help put up the oranment that his mother Ashley made when she was 5 years old.

Dorie:

What wonderful memories, and a great story about Geno's special gift.

I hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Jeff
