A beautifully illustrated look at Christmas ornaments and the memories they hold on our trees First highlighted in the New York Times, Bonnie Mackay’s annual Christmas tree showcases a lifetime collecting almost 3,000 ornaments. Now, through beautiful photography and illuminating vignettes, Tree of Treasures shares the heartfelt stories behind a hundred of those cherished possessions, whether it’s the story of a family member, like Mackay’s grandfather, a well-known vaudeville performer; long-held relationships with friends and colleagues in the international community of Christmas crafts makers; a memory of a beloved pet; and much more. From serene lace angels and vintage Santas, to exquisite glass-blown spheres and small silk purses, Tree of Treasures showcases ornaments both beautiful and well-loved, illuminating how ornaments, as we unpack and hang them each holiday season, tell the story of our lives.

"Dolmetsch's Treasury of Ornament is one of the great nineteenth century studies in pattern and design. Each of the plates is accompanied by a detailed text, and the volume is encyclopaedic in its scope, giving a chronological, analytical and comprehensive view of developments in ornamentation from Ancient Egyptain and Grecian Art to seventeenth and eighteenth century Baroque and rococo motifs." --Dust jacket.
