ornament | 2

So much childhood nostalgia all wrapped up in one tiny little ball. I'm never quite sure why Christmas makes me so infinitely sad. I sure wish it didn't. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my family when time stops, just for that one day. But somehow it's such an enormous marker of time passing, and all the emotion that I don't have time to think about all year long comes to the top. Lots of family and friends to miss...but lots to look forward to...

I love, love vintage Christmas ornaments. I had some time on Saturday morning to do a quick photo shoot of some beautiful ornaments that some friends kindly loaned to me. They are challenging to paint, but oh, so much fun! They look magical when they are finished. Christmas is right around the corner, and honestly, I should have been painting these in July!
