The Girlettes have known Linda Sue as the Queen of Christmas ever since she sent felt stars to be sewn onto our Christmas tree skirt – – plus they have seen her Christmas villages, home to dangerous cut-glass sparkles and dinosaurs.
I was out with bink for her birthday today and stopped at a thrift store where they had these hollow glass Christmas trees (like you’d get at Michael’s Crafts), new, for a buck each. I got three.
***Linda Sue, or anyone who knows about these things, please advise: We love these empty trees, but what should we do with them? What goes inside them??? (They are too heavy for dolls to wear.)
After the outing, I got a free Covid vaccine from the university’s public health team. I haven’t had one for at least a year. Every other time, they’ve absolutely wiped me out for about 24 hours, so I’ve got nothing planned… but if I have the energy, I want to start planning Christmas decorations. The Girlettes say we must keep up with the Orphans at Linda Sue’s!
Maybe little fake flames- or red and green M&Ms...or Orphan style stack of tiny wrapped boxes with wishes inside, painted pebbles- Who knows...the Girlettes will invent something for sure but it may be anytime , not just Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting me started, Linda Sue – – perhaps it was the Covid vaccine but I was drawing a blank! What to put in these? Little things! Yes! The Girlettes can take it from here
DeleteSuch a dilemma. What a potential adventure. Go, Girlettes!
ReplyDeletePotential adventure—I love it!
DeleteAre you supposed to put lights in them? I've no other clue.
ReplyDeleteI thought lights too, Abby – – but there’s no indent/slot in the base to run a cord through, so they would sit lopsided. (Unless I used little LED lights that don’t have any cord – – but you have to throw the entire thing out when their batteries are done.)
