Holiday Wrap Up!

Are you all about done yet?  

 I just need to wrap some gifts.  

I thought I'd put together a walk through

the house with some pictures you've 

seen and maybe some you haven't.

My kitchen tree with cupcakes, ice cream cones, candy canes, milk shakes, mini kitchen tools and more!

My three chefs are there to

make sure I'm doing

things right!

I swear I heard them singing

the other night too! 

I put three small poinsettias in this basket 

which made for a nice centerpiece 

for everyday.

 My kitchen table chandelier.

I have a wreath mounted upside

down with ornaments and ribbon

added for decoration.

My chest of drawers with 

some small village pieces.

 This little battery operated cutie

turned out to be a surprise!

It constantly changes the colors

inside the houses !

 This is a neat piece too! The

tree turns and there are carolers

and a nativity scene.  Soft

lights make it cozy like a

silent night.

 Just to the left of the door

is my burlap covered round

table dressed up with my 

Santos Cage Doll and the

three white dove finials

that were a gift by a friend

last year!

My pencil tree fits in

nicely!

 This tree is set up with

a woodland theme with

birds and berries

Directly behind is my dining table.

It sets in the area that used to be

our living room before we added

on in 1996

And just to the right of this table

is the living room.

 This wood top is a transition

area to the living room.  On one

side are built in cabinets for the

stereo and surround sound equipment.

And on to the living room fireplace

mantel.  It is the focal point when

you enter the home or are viewing

from the kitchen or dining areas.

My Italianate styled mantel

The reason for the season

My 2nd pencil tree, this one

is 9 ft. tall. I don't have much room

to spare and this fit in real nice!

 Oversized mercury glass ornament and

candle votives with a scarf

wrapping it up!

Another oversized ornament 

on the coffee table surrounded

with a wreath

On a table sets an arrangement

I put together with an angel

I've had for several years

(remember Bombay- she came from there)

There are two glass angels

sitting in front but the light

reflection makes it hard

to see them.

 Another Bombay piece my

nutcracker musical piece.

You wind the red base and they

go by slowly like a carousel

while the music plays. 

This sets just behind my sofa

and next to that is another wood

top of more built in cabinets.

 This a big lantern that is outfitted

with a tree, some birds and a

Santa ornament.  

Last year I had Dan outfit it with a

light. Here is last year's link

to the post I did about it.

The large red ball has battery

operated lights inside it. 

(I'm a geek, I like gadgets! 

 I love to peak in- like I'm out

on a street looking in a store window!

Inside are a pair of cardinals 

sitting amongst some snow!

I decorated this with a lot more detail

last year as seen in this link

I kept some things a lot simpler this year.

From my home to yours!

Have yourself a 

Merry Christmas

Relax and share some love!
