Silver bauble: One of two added this year. They both have beaded hooks which I made myself on Friday.
Felt star: We got a pack of stitched felt ornaments last year - I love the look and plan to make some myself in this style some time!
Cross-stitched holly: I made a set of these little cross-stitch pieces about 5 years ago - holly, gifts, Christmas greetings... Not sure how I found the time!!
Corn dolly: Bought in Leeds about 7 years ago, from a Fairtrade stall.
Chocolate: Well, a tree isn't properly decorated without chocolates, is it?!
Star: Top of the tree - star, angel, fairy? We've always been star people in our household. What do you have?
Layout to follow when I can get some half-decent photos of it!

what lovely ornaments! and i love your question on tree toppers...
as for the tree topper in my home, it depends:
for the crimson and gold decorations it's a huge crimson bow with a spray of gold 'wheat' and red roses
for the "Mexican" ornaments, the topper is a hammered silver angel
for the mini-tree of green, red and gold it's a topper made from an old holiday wrapping bow and lots of curled ribbon
i think i do lean more towards stars for the top of the tree, though =-)
I like to admire trees and their
ornaments since my family doesn't
really do xmas trees (:
The top of our tree sports a handmade sort of country flavor crafty angel, which, according to my teenage daughters, is ugly. I guess its time to hunt for a new topper.
If our tree enters the house before Christmas Eve it's a miracle; hence I tend to favour the 12 days after Christmas, the decorations are then up and everyone can huddle together for a weeks or so before the return to work.
Thank you xxxxxxx

I'm a star girl as well - speaking of Fairtrade ornaments, I bought a couple of handstitched lovely ones just this Saturday - beautiful angels from India.
We have a star topper as well. Our tree is a jumble of ornaments as my boys like to layer multiple ornaments on the same branches
We have an angel on the top of our tree.And our tree is crammed with everything including tinsel which I still love. Lovely to see your decorations up close.
nothing on the top of the tree right now, might stick to cow to the top so its not bare :)
We have a fairy on the top of our tree. DS and I decorated the tree this afternoon ~ well, I put the baubles on the tree and he then took them off!
You decorate your tree that way too? Cool :)
On the top of our tree sits... Homer. In an angel costume :)
Lovely ornaments! My favorites on our trees are not the matching ones, but the ones with a story :)
Love the ornaments, too. We have tons that we've been collecting from all over the world. Our tree is about 1/2 decorated. I need to finish it up, so I can take a picture and put the bins away.
