| The barrister's bookcase in my back hall has most of my Mikasa Holiday Elegance figurines in it. Last year, one of you gals had the neatest material behind your Nativity....it was dark blue with sparkly gold stars. I went online to track down a yard and use this year for mine. I love it.  marble-top sideboard in entry way with the purple ornament wreath I made a few years ago... and my lavender Santa and Nutcracker. The big mercury glass deer was a find at Michael's two years ago.  I did a gold arrangement in my iron wall basket, and put it in the entry way for Christmas.  Sofa table in living-room. The tin sleigh was found in an antique shop a dozen years ago, and I usually keep this gold arrangement in it. Tho I should do something different one of these Christmases'.  Just a small vignette on my late grandmother's marble-top table in my living-room.  This big marble-top console or sofa table, also in my living-room, has most of my Breyer Christmas Horses on it.  close-up of the Antique Shop and the Golf Shop, on the little table in the family-room  And my living-room fireplace. hugs, Karen |

| I love your mercury glass reindeer. My husband drove me around for a 100 mile radius to all the michaels the first year you posted the reindeer. I was never able to find one so I do have a deep envy. I have a large reindeer collection and he would have joined in great. Thanks for showing him in your pictures again. |

| OMG I thought that I was the only little girl that collected breyer horses. Right now I have a huge box full of all my breyer horses that I collected when I was a little girl(loved playing with them, I was horse crazy back then). DH keeps threatening me that he is going to throw them out one day. I Kept thinking I would one day have a little girl and she would love to play with them, but I had all boys. Now I tell DH maybe one day I'll have a granddaughter that will love to play with them. So they are still waiting patiently in the box. What wonderful memories they bring back. Everything looks great. |

| mamerjj, I am so sorry you could find one of those big mercury reindeers. I know they went FAST here. Especially as folks could use the 40% off on them. The original price was $40, so great savings. I grabbed one for my daughter and myself. I love reindeer too, and especially this big guy. I am always looking for large ones, with little luck! Jeanne, I think it was our Jane that had the fabric. Deco, I am as horse crazy as they come, tho haven't had a real one in almost 30 yrs. As a child I had every Breyer that came out, then stupidly gave them away when I was around 19. Those old ones can be worth a lot now!!! Check eBay sometime and look them up, tho the economy has hurt sales this year. I started collecting the Christmas Breyers a few years ago, and some other models that I simply couldn't resist. I love anything to do with horses. and started soon as I learned to walk and sat on a pony, and I so wish I could have a horse now but not possible. Thank you, Gang. I always love sharing my decor with you, and you always make me feel so good. I just realized I didn't get a photo of the bay window! Tho not that happy with it this year. ;o( hugs, Karen |

| You did way more than me, this s a lean year for me with leg pain. I did good all summer but its acting up with the colder weather. Always love your fireplace & especially love your large marble console with your horses. It really showcases them. Everything else is so pretty too. |
