{16 Crocheted Christmas Ornaments I made for the City Hall's Tree}


Just came across this picture of the 16 different crocheted lace Christmas ornaments that I'd made for our Dublin, Georgia City Hall. Since on Saturday, November 19 of 1994, I was having my Christmas Sale, like the day before, I was unable to bring them to the City Hall for hanging them on the tree... My Dublin Mama did pick them up and did it for me. As she did often, helping me out. 
From Magic Crochet, December 1985
Crochet patten is easy to make...
This is our City Hall with some Christmas decoration around its columns. 
Just on a regular day...
Yes, I am living now in the NEW WORLD...
Our County only got established in 1807.
Quite a change from the OLD WORLD with its rich history!
This is actually a large mural in down town.

  1. Dear Mariette,
    those crocheted lace Christmas ornaments are outstanding. They really look like snowstars. I have seen sometimes Irish chrocheted flowers. Your snowornaments remind me a lot to them. I can imagine how nice a Christmas tree would be, only decorated with such ornaments. Great work.
    Greetings, Johanna

  2. guten Morgen liebe Mariette,

    zuerst einmal danke ich Dir sehr herzlich für alle Deine liebenswürdigen Kommentare, die Du in letzter Zeit in meinem Blog hinterlassen hast ... ich freue mich über jeden einzelnen und auch darüber, dass Du mich immer besuchst ♥

    als kleines Dankeschön würde ich Dir gerne ein paar frische Schneeflocken schicken, weil Du Schnee wohl so gerne magst ... hier schneit es nämlich schon wieder den ganzen Morgen und alles sieht so friedlich und ruhig aus ...

    und nun sehe ich die wunderbaren gehäkelten Ornamente, mit denen Du den Baum im Rathaus schmücken konntest ... ist das eine Tradition bei Euch? darf jeder seine Dekoration im Rathaus abgeben, damit sie in den großen Weihnachtsbaum gehängt wird? das ist sehr schön, mich erinnert das an ein Jahr, als meine Tochter noch im Kindergarten war, da durften die Kleinen Strohsterne basteln und sie an einem großen Tannenbaum, der in einer Bank stand, schmücken ... als Belohnung bekamen sie Süßigkeiten und Kekse ... da war die Freude groß, und der Baum sah hinterher, als er fertig geschmcükt war, sehr sehr schön aus!

    liebe Mariette, ich wünsche Dir einen zauberhaft schönen Tag, und wie gesagt, in Gedanken schicke ich Dir ein paar frische Schneeflocken ...

    die Rosabella ♥

    PS: vielen Dank auch für den Hinweis auf Johanna, ich habe mir das Buch schon letzten Sommer bei ihr gekauft, weil ich auch so sehr Rosenbestecke liebe :-)

  3. Guten Morgen liebe Mariette, ganz lieben Dank für deine wärmenden Grüße, das kann ich wirklich gut gebrauchen! Gerade habe ich die Wetternachrichten gehört und dort wird für das Wochenende Schnee und Regen und etwas steigende Temperaturen angesagt, na mal sehen was es wirklich gibt lach!!
    Dein gehäkelter Weihnachtsschmuck ist wirklich wundrschön und ganz sicher ein besonderer Weihnachtsschmuck! Vorallem wenn der Baum im Rathaus steht und viele Leute ihn bewundern.
    Ist das eine Tradition bei Euch? Wenn ja finde ich sie ausgesprochen schön.
    Dir nun ganz liebe Grüße aus dem verschneiten Deutschland
    MArlies

  4. Liebe Mariette,
    die gehäkelten Ornamente sind wunderschön! Ich habe mit Häkeln solcher Dinge immer große Schwierigkeiten, meist wird es schief ;-) Weil ich da wohl nicht die rechte Vorstellung habe.
    Auch ich kann mir einen Weihnachtsbaum nur damit oder ein paar Zweige ganz wunderbar vorstellen.

    Liebe Grüße
    Sara

  8. Hi Mariette,
    I love your snowflakes! You are one talented lady to create these. I also have dozens on our Christmas tree. I did not make them, but a sweet lady did for me and each is different and very detailed. Yours are so gorgeous and the city blessed to have them for display. Great pictures.

    I also adore the porcelain lamp with the folk art painting. I love this style and have painted a few things in this style as well.

    The chocolate letters look so yummy!

    So enjoyed catching up with your posts. Thank you for stopping by.
    Hope you are enjoying the holiday season.
    Love to you, Celestina Marie
