Tin Ornaments

I was so inspired the the number of Christmas ornament photos on people's journals yesterday that I decided I had to post my own shot of our "outdoor" tree. This meter-tall, wooden tree sits on our patio table, where my wife creates and I computer, and is filled with tin ornaments collected on our previous trips to Mexico. They were quite different on our holiday trees back in Washington State but not as distinctive down here where they are made and sold all over. The majority of these ornaments have been in our family for a number of years, but we are always on the lookout for new ones as we traverse the markets this time of year.
