Everything on the tree is either an ornament made to resemble a classic toy or game--or is one! She uses the battery powered candle lights because one of our cats--who shall not be named--has a nasty habit of chewing on the wires if we use regular bulbs, so these are safer.
So many fun things on the tree, I don't know which is my favorite!

So many games that bring back so many memories. The tinkertoy and Lincoln logs were family faves and one that I played often in the late 50's and still have and still played until the accident 23 yrs ago was jacks. I still have the jacks and ball that Mom bought me when I was 10. I taught my kids how to play as well. With the same set. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
