Item 23: Jingle bells

These bells were hanging on the closet doorknob in my office.  They hung there all year.  I have no explanation for the fact I had jingle bells hanging in my office all year.

I know where I got two of them:  they were a welcome gift from the wife of the CEO of the company I used to work for.  She gave them to guests when they arrived at their home for the annual Management Christmas party.  I attended twice.  I think the third bell belongs to my daughter.  She left it here long ago.  It's now mine.  And I'm getting rid of it!

PS:  did you notice the quilting on the bedcover beneath these bells?  Sand dollars.  Yep, more of the beach decor.  The problem with getting rid of the beach decor is it means I must buy a new bedcover.  It took me YEARS to find this one.  Alas by the time I found this quilt my interest in the beach decor was waning.  Don't tell my husband.  Or my brother-in-law (haha...more opportunity cost).  I need to spend money to buy a new quilt.  The good news:  I'll use the money I raise from the garage sale this spring to buy what I 'need'.  Haha!
