Merry Christmas Eve ~

The big day is almost here.  We will not be having a white Christmas in northern Ohio.  I do like a white Christmas . . . the only time I like the white stuff . . . but the upside is the snowplow drivers get to stay home with their families 💓

Today I thought I would share with you some special ornaments.

A small teardrop ornament from my maternal grandmother.

 

Another friend who totally understands me.  We were at the Christmas open house at Seville Antiques and I was admiring these blue kugels.  Yes, the real deal.  I was trying to decide if I really wanted to spend the $$ to buy them.  Upon my return to the booth they were gone.  Little did I know dear friend Laura had bought them for me.  Such a generous and special friend.

A patriotic snowman . . . 

. . . and an Uncle Sam nutcracker dated '88.

Old glass horn.

Fun little snowman in an old baby shoe purchased this past summer from one of the vendors during Rug Week at Sauder Village.

When I am on vacation, I always try to come home with an ornament.  This manatee was from when went to sailing school in the Keys.

I just have always love this court jester.

Figural light bulb ornaments.

A cloisonné pug ~ a gift from my sister.  Please keep her in your prayers.  She ended up in the hospital a couple days ago and has been diagnosed with the same heart issue that my brother just had surgery for.

Ornaments made by my boys in preschool back in the 80's.

Younger son at age 6 in 1987.

A ceramic angel my mom made.

The Little Drummer Boy painted by my mom.  He is only 2" tall.

I think I post St. Nicholas every year.  One of the most beautiful ceramic pieces my mom ever made.  The sampler behind him is the first antique one I bought 30+ years ago.

Many of you know friend Linda as Primdollie on Facebook and on Primitive Handmade Mercantile.  She gifted me this sweet little snowman when she was over the other day.  Thank you, Linda 😉

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
