So pretty Jeanne
Love the vine tree with the Doves.
The reindeer look so stately next to the tree.
Mr. and Mrs Claus look adorable next to the ceramic tree,
no wonder your family look for them when they come to visit.

Jeanne, the best decorations are all about the history, aren't they?! You have an amazing collection and it's ALL so beautiful!

I love the bark tree and deer!!! I've never seen anything like that and of course it gives me ideas about what to do with the birch bark I harvested last year. lol!

What an interesting basket for your canes and umbrellas... I wish you lived closer because I'd be over with my basket-making supplies and we'd have a blast! :)

Amazing! As usual, it's all about warmth (even though it's freezing outside).

Those bark trees are PERFECT for you. Someone knows you too well.

Now, I must say something about Mr. And Mrs. Santa. Talk about Retro! Although the word "lovely" can be used to describe all the other displays in your home, it doesn't exactly fit the santas. Still, theyre family favorites. I love that. Antique and/or retro are my middle names. Love the plastic santas.

The bark tree with the reindeer is lovely and the angel in the centerpiece is too sweet! I love seeing your pictures.

Thanks, 'Holiday-ers' ... tis the season, right ~~

party ... whoa, we could have fun w/your artistic basketweaving ...

OA ... I probably could be classified as 'retro' myself ... ;-) thanks ~~

nana & fun2B ... thank you ~~ enjoy your holidays!

The birds are flocking to the arbor today ... so cold ... here's a beautiful female Cardinal sitting out there this morning. ~~Jeanne S.

Jeanne, beautiful display on your cabinet. Love your fancy deer with your birch tree. I knew it was you when I seen it. A basket with pinecones, lovely candle and lantern, under that neat picture.

I remember your pheasants you painted for DH. That little chubby santa cracks me up. I thought he had his mouth open when I first looked.

Apache Tears huh? U had me on that one! Love the old bottle caps in the jug and your pinecone wreath. I have a foot warmer messager under my feet right now but it's not as cute as your snowie.

MR & Mrs and your ceramic Christmas tree is a must to see every year!Yeah Your canvas painted snowman on the door is so neat. I've never seen them that I remember any how. Let's not go there.haha

Birds have come to enjoy your vine tree now!sigh Gorgeous scene behind your sweet little angel and votives. Oh, love your real female Cardinal picture. They are so Lucky to live at your home and so r we so you can share w/us.

Your home must be exploding w/decor!woot,woot It's been so fun coming here and seeing all the decor this year. I tried to post on this post last night and it wouldn't let me type. Had a tough time at first tonight too but I hung in there and showed it who's BOSS!haha

Jeanne...LOVE it ALL!!
Such beautiful 'oldies'..they are always the best for
the wonderful memories they bring. Your lighted
Mr & Mrs Clause and the ceramic tree is so nostalgic
from the '70s.. I love the setting on your Mantel with
the bark tree and the deer (which I have their clones) lol
YOur table looks so lovely and of course the Vine tree
decked out - love the doves you added.
Every corner of your home is decorated so warm and
inviting..makes you want to cozy up with a nice cup of cocoa while listening to Christmas Carols .

You were once in AZ and didn't find me? LOL. How neat you took home some Apache Tears. When we first moved here and I was learning about the various things native, I fell in love with those little rocks and the beautiful legend behind them. I have few somewhere around here myself, collected back in the 60's.

That chubby Santa cracks me up. He's too cute.

As always, your place just beckons with all the warmth and love your decor shows. I've found it so incredible over the years, how many very special OLD family things you have. And love hearing the stories and history that goes with them. Such treasures!! You always touch my heart with these.

hugs, Karen

I also have those reindeer! Great minds think alike! Love the rustic/primitive/cabin-y décor. Very cozy and homey. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

SSSoooo warm and cozy looking! Love everything. I did ceramics back inthe 70's too. Made a pretty large tree it had holes in the end of branches and I had butterflies to put on it. I just moved to OK 6 mon ago and when I got out my Christmas stuff my tree was the only thing that was broken. I was just heart sick because it was going to be the main tree since I gave my big one away!! Oh well I sat down and had a good cry then put on my big girl panties and moved on!! thanks for letting me vent a little I'm ok now!!!
