Shhhh....Santa Claus is here already!
Last year for one of my Christmas wish items I asked for this sled....My vision was that someday as the possibility of Grandchildren would come- it would be cute to load up with presents, or a Santa Claus, you name it!
Since we have such harsh winters I am not putting it outdoors and I don't have a protected porch for it, so indoors it stays!
This year I decorated it with my Santa (from Bombay- remember Bombay?) ornaments, and a beaded garland.
The lighted boxes were a after Christmas find I picked up last year.
The directions said it would be best if they were in a protected area if put outdoors, so again, they are staying indoors too!
The red ornaments were items I bought and couldn't decide where to use them, so they found a home here!

By the way we have received over 26" of snow already this month!
And as you can see Santa already left a pair of ice skates!
Hope your holiday decorating is coming along! I'm getting there!
My holiday decorating is coming along too Liz! I would not put that lovely outdoors either. Hope all is well, It is so nice to see your blog pop up on my roll, I try not to miss your posts.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, Liz! And if you end up with grandsons like ours, forget about putting anything in the sled--THEY will be in it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie!
ReplyDeleteSara, that didn't occur to me! See how naive one can be? LOL

Farah, thanks! There are no grandchildren yet. I was commenting that with the possibility of grandchildren, perhaps I could use it to put Christmas gifts in... I'm not ready to be a grandmother yet! :)

ReplyDeleteTess you are always so nice with the compliments! I could use you around just to make me feel better about myself on a regular basis!! Your hubby might get annoyed with me though! I tend to give a lot of input!! LOL
ReplyDeleteLinda, thanks for your kind words as always!!
HI Liz I love this sled and what a wonderful idea to use someday for grandchildren but in the meantime we can enjoy your wonderful creative ideas to make it look so festive! The ice skates are so charming I just seen some today just like them at my fav country store I think I may go back and get them to hang in my sun porch.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea Sue! I might end up moving the sled over by the tree by Christmas! Maybe I'll put some gifts in there this year!
