IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

WELCOME!

Today, I'm inviting you into my home to see a few of
our Christmas decorations.

First, here's an angel in a bell cloche...........
(Do you recognize this plaid ribbon, Mary?) S: )




These carolers grace the top of the china cabinet every year. That's the only
place I've found where they're safe from getting knocked over.....




The little bears standing beside the snow house were painted by my daughter, Jami.
Don't you just love the expression on the face of the one in polka-dot pajamas?



Now, we move from the dining room into the kitchen. This arrangement is on the top shelf above the stove. Yes, you guessed it! That's chipmunks over on the left side...

This whimsical skinny Santa has found a resting place inside a tea cup. (The mosaic plaque was one of this past year's projects).

'NOEL' sign on shelf above dry sink....

I've enjoyed putting out this ceramic of Mary & Joseph for many years. It was a gift from (& painted by) a special friend.

Ornaments we purchased 45 years ago for our very first Christmas tree...

A little plate & stand was a long ago gift from a piano student..........

Something was missing on this hearth angel, so I added a 'parchment' scroll to the horn.....

This photo of the Nativity was taken at night with only the Christmas tree and mirror lights on. The set was purchased in the 70's from a friend who did ceramics, and it has always been front and center on the living room mantel every Christmas.

Today, I've highlighted only a few of the decorations.

Tomorrow, the tree...............
