Thirty years ago, before angels became trendy and new-agey, a friend gave me a beautiful little porcelain angel ornament. The next year I bought another one. Then I started collecting angels on a casual basis. Now I have over 100 -- more than enough to do an entire tree. Each one has a story. Some were gifts, some were handmade, some were purchased on my travels. Here a just a few pictures:
She started it, with her porcelain perfection!
Bringing Tidings of Comfort & Joy
She's from New Orleans, LA. Her pigtails don't show well, but they're angelic.
She's Latina, from San Diego/Tijuana and is hand cut,hammered tin.
A Native American Angel, from Cody WY
This beautiful baby is afraid of hot water. He's all pasta, even the tiny little stars on his (wooden) head. I've had him 25 years, with only one little chip!
Hand crocheted by my sister, around a wooden clothes pin. So sweet!
Ginger's from the Great Smoky Mts. in TN. She's the only one who came with a name.
Nature Girl - she's a fir cone from the beautiful Pacific Northwest
Animal Kingdom - an angelic cat is an oxymoron. She's more likely to have horns than a halo.
I have about 80 more - but isn't Christmas fun?
