Just a few more of my favorite things...



( Click on photos to enlarge )








Hi All,

Today was filled with bits of this and that...Still trying to get my decorations the way I want them! I'll get there...lol-I still have 2 weeks to go!

This is what our day looked like today! Cool temps and a blue sky!

This is the bell Charles got a few weeks back at a flea market! He did some welding on it and painted it and mounted it to this pole! It's in our back yard! I just LOVE it!

Here are a few more of my Ornaments and displays around my house!

Nut Crackers ~

Ornaments:

Grandchildren

Cat ~~ I have had this for nearly 40 years. It once held perfume and was a gift from my son when he was a young boy!

Turtle~~ 2 Elf type little people~~ All of these have been around since my kids were little.
(they were trims on gifts I gave them)

Dancing Ballerina doll~~ We bought this little doll about 1972- at a craft show here in Ocala! (many years before we moved here!)

White Birds~ These were bought for our tree in the early years of our marriage- early 60's I think! I have always LOVED them!!

Other things~~~SnowPeople~Santas~~

The bear and Primitive-look santa I like displayed together (also the monkey going after the bananas -never to reach them! :)

~~~

I still have my Nativity to set up and also my Angels and Gourd Santas~~~
but I still have time!

Love,

Junie

  1. Oh, thank you for jumping in on the ornament photos. I love your tree ornaments and decorations, and they all have such special meanings. This was a really fun day and I've loved all the participation.

    I've got a collection of nutcrackers, too, and they're just so festive!

  2. Thanks,

    I almost waited too long...in fact- had done a big post earlier on some more of my ornaments-some more VERY SPECIAL ones-(kids and grandkids pictures) but a couple of the girls had mentioned your ornament day today! :) so I jumped in!

    Anyway- it has been so much fun the past few days with all the Christmas posts everyone has been doing!

    Come visit anytime!

  10. Hi Pea,

    Thanks! I still have a huge box of my ornaments- but I guess I will just let them go for this time! The tree we got this time turned out to be much smaller (around) than what we usually have!....but I keep remembering ones that are absent from the tree! :(

    -Yes. I think the bell turned out very nice! I'll pass on your compliment to him! :)

    Went shopping today so am tired! But may post something later...
