These are a few of my Favorite Things

Hello friends.. I thought I would take a few snapshots around the house this morning and share them with you.  I took pictures of just some of my favorite ornaments on the tree.  This is one I crocheted a few years ago.  Have you made one of these?

Here is my very newest decoration.. :-)  One of Santa's helper elves taking a selfie with a gnome/elf.  It's a Dept 56 piece that goes with the North Pole Village.  I could not resist it when I saw it on Amazon.   It's tiny, just a few inches tall.

I hang these little wreathes on the china cabinet every single year.. do you see what is showing in the center of the wreath?  My knitting bunny Royal Doulton figurine.  :-)  I keep my small collection of bunnies in the cabinet until Easter and they come out onto the dining table.

I opened the cabinet and here is half of my Jadeite collection and I crocheted the lace shelf edging years ago after I got this antique oak china cabinet from a friend of my mom's.

This is how I display my Christmas cards that are sent to me.. how do you display yours?

We have a garland and lights up the stair railing.. and a bunch of stockings that I've collected over the years.. oops.. the one on the right is backwards and I didn't notice until now.. :-)

We have a wreath on the inside AND outside of the back door.  Do you put a wreath on your door?

I got this sailboat with Santa on eBay and was rather shocked when it arrived at how big it is!  LOL!

The ornament with an English flag design is in honor of my English ancestors AND my blog friends from England.  :-)

Dayle surprised me with this cute ornament 2 years ago - it's extra sweet as he got it because he thought it looked like both of us.  I loved it so much that I used this image on our Christmas cards.  

I got this one on one of our weeklong stays at the beach in our trailer/caravan.  :-)

This is a vintage carousel ornament that if you press a lever on the bottom it plays a Christmas carol music-box style.

I have a small collection of these cherub angels in the middle, I've had that old wood carved Santa one for years and Kristi just gave me the fuzzy snowman one this year.

I found this hand sewn little ornament of all places in a Backyard Bird store!  I adore it and wish I would do some like this someday.

This is a new lamb ornament that came leaping from the other side of the country.. he's so cute.. I love him.  Thank you.  :-)

This is a project I made designed by Lucy at Attic24 blog.  I used sparkly yarn.

A Hibiscus is in bloom this morning.. illuminated by the sun.. there is not a cloud in the sky today.  

We are going to run a few errands today.. but we're pretty set for the big weekend.  Dayle went to Costco yesterday and got our ham but we need to go to the regular grocery store today to get the potatoes and a few other thing.  Are you all set?  Such a glorious time of year, I just love it!!  ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
