~~~ Belsnickle Santas in the dining room!~~~

This is the corner table in my dining room that you have seen before. Here is my part of my collection of Belsnickles, some more are on the Bakers rack. I will share that later!!!
 Here is my new guy! He is so pretty to me!

 I also love the old bottle brush trees! My son gave me these 2.
 Cute guy with his bottle brush tree.
 This is the one my son gave me! I just love him!


 Some greens and a garland.

 A Lenox votive holder.

 Close up of his face.
I have a very large collection of Santas, which you will see soon, but my son got me started on these beautiful Belsnickle Santas. He had several and I LOVED them! The largest one is new this year but the one HE gave me is the most precious!!! I hope you enjoy!

~~~ My Kitchen Tree!!!~~~~

Here is my little kitchen tree, it sits next to my server in the breakfast room.
 It is all red and white and full of candy ornaments and gingerbread men!
 Lollipop picks, a candy cane at the top and a tea kettle.


Can you see the candy garland?

 The gingerbread men used to be on my potrack, but that came down several years ago.
I added some snowy branches throughout too.

 Tiny candy striped ornaments.
I light it every night while we eat dinner.



 These came out too dark so I turned on the flash to show you a little better.
 That's better! I love this little ornament: Santa sitting in a cupcake tin and a spatula hangin from it.


I just LOOOOVE my kitchen tree, it makes me smile every time I walk in the door from the garage. It is one of a set of 2 trees that I got last year and the other one goes on the front porch. Hope you like it!!!!

~~~One of 2 projects I did today!~~~

Last night the lights on this dining room wall tree stopped working. SOOO, I had to take it down, take it all apert, run to the store for new lights and today redo it all. Thought I would show you the process.
 Lights on
 I have several of these easels, they make doing a wreath or a tree like this SOOO much easier to work on.
 The back of the easel.
 Red bead garland
 Red balls going on.


 Gold balls going on.
 Some berry picks
 Some gold and red flowery picks


 Some red and gold package picks

 Here it is back on the dining room wall. It does not have that HOLE in it in person???? I have no clue why it looks like this:(

 It hangs above my server.
 There are 2 gold, lit trees and 2 gold reindeer
 Lots of Santas!!!!
 We got this one several years ago in a Hallmark shop! I liked it cause it has a boy and girl and so do I!!!!!!
 I put the little packages in the sleigh.
 My best friend made this for me 100 years ago:):)
 The trees came from CTS last year, they were VERY inexpensive, I think like $2.99 each!!!!!!!!!!

This a Byers Choice Santa. I managed to get him several years ago for 1/2 price!!!!!!!!!
 I love his face.
 I put several ornaments in his basket that were my childrens years ago!
