I think a tree should should (for want of a better term) - tell a story. So on my tree there is an assortment of little decorations. They don't look all that pretty together, but there you go. Anyway this is a toy that Nanny Lou made when she was a youngster for her tree. I can't recall the exact date, but she said it would have been in 1915-2x. Nanny Lou (not my granny) died in 2003 aged 99 by the way so this decoration is very special to me.
