Living Room & Parlor Decked Out

 The most important piece in our home next to the tree...Hand made in Italy many, many years ago.
 Part of our collection of santas in a bookcase under the TV. On the top shelve are handmade, woodland ones on both ends. In the middle, santa with a Canadian goose and an Irish Santa with lamb. Carolers and more santas underneath.
 This vignette is in the corner f my living room.
 I painted the santa plate many years ago.
 This skater is lovely with sparkly cotton clothing.
Santa riding a polar bear...He's my favorite.

Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

 The tree is a vision of white this year. It is decorated with glass icicles & tear drops, crocheted snowflakes, crystal snowflake garland, ice crystal garland, white German candles, pearl bead garland, red berry clusters and red apples with family names. Bagged snow flakes were tossed on the tree for effect.

 This tree is in the corner in the dining room. It is simply decorated with miniature angels, skaters, & carolers.
This is a dried flower tree covered with flowers dried from my garden: lydrangea, roses, sumac, hops & more set in an old trunk with a tray, santa and stocking.
