Favorite New Ornament!
I really love this fabric balladeer ornament! Exquisite detail, from the intent expression on his face to the lace on his cuffs and buckles on his shoes. I bought this ornament partly because of how much I’ve enjoyed listening to the CW musicians and balladeers over the years, but it would be a lovely ornament to put on one’s tree regardless of the sentimental connection. It also has the advantage of being unbreakable. Highly recommended!
