Christmas tree up today ...

This is my favourite bauble from my childhood. Over the last 30-40 years I've thought it had a feel of 1950s textile design ... but it must be at least mid 1960s as our family didn't settle 'back' into Lancashire until 1961. Clearing mum's house when she moved into a care home ... our family decorations headed our way. Lovely. But it is the first year, here, with our mad house cats ... we suspect they may find it far too tempting! Sorry it's so fuzzy ...
