Christmas Mantle and Hearth, 2019

Good morning! Today I am sharing our mantle and hearth, decorated for Christmas. Come on in. I wish you could actually come visit!

 At dusk I light all the lights and love the glow!

 I love to sit and just enjoy the decorations. I should have lit the fire for you!

 The 2 Santas on the elephants are hand made by a woman in Texas. These 2 are both Polish Santas. The one on the left we gave to Joe's parents and inherited it back after they both passed away. The one on the right was the first one we bought for ourselves. We have 2 more I will show you in another post.

 They both have a polish doll and the writing on the bottom says they were made in Krakow.

 This guy is a Joyce Ditz Santa, he is pulling his wagon of trees.

Thanks so much for your visit. Merry Christmas everyone!

XO, Pinky

My Gingerbread bar in the Kitchen

Good morning friends! I hope you all are warmer than we are, it is freezing here. But at least we didn't get ANY of the snow that they thought we would get. For that I am grateful as I have too much to do to be stuck:) I wanted to share my gingerbread bar in the kitchen today. This is what you see as you enter the kitchen. It makes me smile every morning when I walk out to the kitchen.

 This gingerbread house is actually a candle holder. My Joe electrified it for me.

 The center house was a gift from him several years ago. I LOVE it. It has so many beautiful details!

 This smaller house I found at Christmas Tree Shops years ago and Joe electrified it for me too. Now they all come on together.

 Mrs. Claus and Santa are Byers Choice pieces as are the smaller characters. The smaller ones are called Kindles.

 Both Mrs, Claus and Santa have baked a gingerbread house!

 I like to place some of the Kindles actually ON the house.

 I found this little ladder so have one guy up there decorating the house;)

 When I got this years ago, that is what started my desire to collect enough pieces to make a gingerbread bar.

 Thanks SO much for your visit. Are you still decorating or have you finished? I am done and am so glad I did it early. Have a beautiful day!!!
