Holiday Decorating Challenge #1

I know. It's not even Thanksgiving yet...but I need to get this off my chest.

So I was perusing eBay for a few days looking for some cute vintage ornaments to adorn my christmakuh tree with this year. I'm what I like to call a simple decorator, nothing too flashy or out of the ordinary. So when I "bid" on these festive little guys, I
a. wasn't expecting to really win,
b. not happy when I did,
and c. even more disappointed when they arrived on my doorstep-5 broken and all looking pretty rough.
I am putting my faith in Craigslist with the hopes they will be picked up by a more deserving decorator.



What the eBay seller showed...would you say they used some sort of color shade/lightening?




What I got...Not what I would call "simple", but I only have myself to blame.

My real hopes for this year at the Magnolia Street Mantle.
