Ornament of the Day – 8/1/09

This jolly winking and dancing santa is made by De Carlini.  A gift this year from my parents.

I’m back!

Sorry if you have been visiting and not finding this site – I switched carriers for the url, and the transfer meant the site was unavailable for about a week.  I should be back to posting tomorrow, and the break actually helped – I have three trees up, and one more to go.  Look forward to lots of pictures soon of the 2008 display!

From a trip to Dallas in 2005, a ceramic cowboy hat, decked out for the holidays.

Halloween Highlights

Today I take the GRE as part of applying for my master’s program.  So you will have to forgive me for the last day or two – I’ve been busy studying.  So, instead of an ornament, I give you some pictures from our house at Halloween this year.  The theme was “vintage halloween.”  We had a number of trick or treaters, and it was great fun.

A not-so-warm welcome

Ornament of the Day 10/28/08

I thought I would countdown to Halloween with some of my more spooky ornaments.  I don’t really have a “Halloween Tree,” but I do have a few ornaments that fit with the season.  Here is a devilish head created by Inge Glas from Germany.  Purchased in 2007 from the Christmas Haus in New Oxford, PA.

Ornament of the Day – 10/15/08

I have been trying to concentrate more on designer class ornaments the last two years.  Here is “Sojourning Santa Bordeaux” by Patricia Breen (my only Breen so far.)
