little bit of Christmas

Cindy and I had a challenge to post our decorating today. So here are a few of the pictures. I still need to take some pictures and post in another post.
No special camera or lighting so look past that.
This chair was passed down to my father. It has to be at least 100 years old. The teddy bear was a gift for my anniversary from my hubby 9-12-11. I bought the doll because it looked like my daughter.
The wagon in a favorite of mine. I love it. In the newest PB catalog there was a small glimpse of one like it with Christmas things in it.
These are the little trees that I put out instead of a big tree. It looks kinda jumbled up with the cabinet in the back. But, really it doesn't look like that in person, you have to trust me.

Lots of
Boyd's bears here.

Another view, sorry about the cords. The trees are tucked in the corner to avoid furry babies and little curious people.

I found a little
Brownie. Do you see what it says "Holiday Flash". I was cleaning it up and my husband saw it. He said he had the same camera and told me how it worked. Usually he doesn't get why I have these things but this one brought back memories. How cute is that little angel looking at you. She was a gift from a friend that paints beautiful faces. (I also have the little instruction book that came with the camera. There is a penciled in date of when it was given as a gift....1956.....thanks Murphy for finding that for me at the sale)

A bear from my cousin Jo. So many of my Christmas items came from her. Glad to have the memories. The little desk it is sitting on is supposed to be from CHina and 100 years old.

A new little ME wreath from my sweet friend Genie.

My grandma's hutch and punch bowl. The punch bowl has ornaments in it. There was a bear in the little basket but he is hiding it looks like.

Our old TV fit in the cabinet. I loved being able to close the doors on it. The new one just fit on top. It limits what I can put on it. Has to be low so the controllers work. This had been a favortie place to decorate.

A little musical tree in the kitchen.

More to come later. I am trying to make it simplier every year.

I am headed out to a toy store to see if I can find a little gift for Mabel. She wants a baby carriage for her Calico Critters. It's a fun store that has lots of little stocking stuffer like toys.

Are you getting in the holiday spririt. Sometimes it is hard. I had one of those weeks nut it is time to move on.
Blessings.
