LOVE THIS CHRISTMAS TIME OF YEAR!

Our Dining Room Table will be minus out Collection of Jim Shore Folk Santa's this year. Will be  replacing  with doves .I am keeping all my Santa Decorations in the back of the house and the Religious Jesus Birthday/ Nativity in the Front.

This red bell makes me think of childhood days!

There are red bows and gold lights in the garland too.


Our Back Porch usually has wood stacked on it, but we are getting  to old to cut the wood and get up on the roof to clean the chimney. So now this little table and chairs get to stay all year and get decorated for Christmas too! .

Here is what I've been working on 21 Patchwork Christmas Tree Table Throws. They measure 18''x51" Each one is different. They were really great fun to make but time consuming!

Maurice was in the process of installing this new dryer and noticed we had a hose leaking on the wash machine. While trying to fix that by changing the hoses the pipe cracked. So now we are waiting on a plumber!
This is a new look this year for our back porch door too!  The wreath seen thru the door was a thrift store find for $3.00.  I really like this look too!

This is the Christmas Display on the Pool Table. Very seldom does anybody want to  play these days so decided to make it fun to look at!

More of the display.

The back of the display


We have room for this painted ironing board Santa on the back porch now too!

Scene over the sink in candlelight! Mother bought this little tree and miniature ornaments  for me years ago.

The Kitchen Table is now the new home for my collection of 9 Jim Shore Santa's from my good friend Karen. They are so neat! I really enjoy  looking at them!

Maurice won this beautiful Italian Nativity at work many years ago. We are enjoying it lighted on the Dining Room Buffet this year. But I see I need to camouflage the cord! 

This picture of Maurice & I was taken in Nov. while in Branson on Sister Judy's Birthday Trip

Another Christmas Project. Our Christmas Cards. This is year 42 for Homemade Cards.

Packages getting ready to mail!  Hope it's a happy time of year for you all too! Might like to visit my other blog too. It is www.preciouscottage.blogspot.com

Not sure where to begin to "like" your decorations! Maybe the back door?!?!

I'm probably going to regret having cleaned out one of three attic spaces in which "Christmas" was stored. I have sorted and tossed, sorted and donated, sorted and "gifted" a bunch of stuff. I have NO idea what remains in the other two spaces, but KNOW there is at least one extensive set of hand-painted bulbs and some tiny carved nativity ornaments SOMEwhere!

Merry Christmas, my friend. ♥
