This ornament captures the moment just before departure: a child at the shoreline, toy sailboat in hand, gazing toward the open water as ships wait beyond the harbor. Drawn from a vintage Christmas card illustration, the scene blends childhood imagination with maritime longing — a quiet balance of play and possibility.

Constructed in the same vertical format as its harbor companion, the card image is paired with classic glass spheres banded in red, white, and blue stars, and finished with fine wire detailing and subtle metallic accents. Where Home Harbor for the Holidays speaks of arrival and rest, this piece suggests curiosity and forward motion — together, they form a gentle narrative of journey and return.

Part of a five-piece vintage card series, this ornament is designed to pair directly with Home Harbor for the Holidays, though each stands on its own as a complete, one-of-a-kind object.

Use

Perfect for nautical-themed holiday trees, collectors of maritime ephemera, or anyone drawn to ornaments that tell a quieter, story-driven Christmas tale.
