One of the things I love about putting up the Christmas decorations is finding family treasures from days gone by. This is one of my favorite handmade items from about 40 years ago
My Grandma Grace made these three Wise Men circa 1970. They're showing their age, but are still family favorites. My sister and I look at them and remember the velvet dresses Grandma made for us out of the matching material. Ellen always got pink. in fact, the pink toting king is the only one whose crown got a matching paint job. The other crowns came in blue and green. What color was my dress? Why blue of course. I always got blue. Ellen always got pink. Blue is still one of my favorite colors to this date (after purple). Funny how that works out.
I always wondered what happened to those 3 wise guys ! ;)

Funny - my mom always dressed me in blue too. She was going after making my eyes pop colorwise. My sister was always in green.
See you on Wednesday!
