Our Christmas Tree

A note Sharon sent to her sisters, Lesley and Fiona, on Wednesday 7th December 2005

Hi girls!

When Mother died I brought home her white tulle Christmas Tree

A few Christmases have passed now but on Sunday I got it out

Freshened it all up - ironed all the bits - restitched a couple of the layers - and set it all up
It looks quite lovely!!

I had a feeling you made it Lesley but am not sure

It is up - and it makes me feel nostalgic!!

Love
Sharon
