I never met a Santa I didn't like ~

 

Well, that's not quite true, but lately I have been meeting too many I like!!!

Remember the hand carved Santa I bought a couple weeks ago?  I knew he needed something in his hands and friend Laura had the perfect suggestion.  Now I just need to find the real feather sprig I forgot I had (that was buried in the attic!!!) . . . that I now can't find . . . to replace the cheesy plastic one.  Santa has the sweetest face.

From the same dealer, I also purchased this guy.  I thought maybe he would be a gift, but I just may keep him 😄

So the same Laura and I went on a "play date" yesterday and she really is a bad influence.  If you have seen my Christmas decor in years past ~ or have seen the You Tube video of my house ~ you know I don't need another Christmas item.  Plus in sorting thru things in the attic, I found Christmas items that had not seen the light of day in 20+ years that I want to display this year.  I think I need a bigger house!!! 

Here's "stuff" that came home with me yesterday.  I guess the reason I am purging items not used is so I can buy more stuff that I don't need 😁😁😁.  The lower branches on the feather tree need a little TLC (they are loose and wobbly), but for the price I could not leave it behind.  

I have started my Christmas decorating early this year, something I normally don't do.  Turkeys and Santas are co-existing for another week.  Today I really need to get my act together and get the house in a half way decent shape.  My Las Vegas son will arrive Tuesday.  Not that he cares what the house looks like, but I would like for him to be able to walk through and not trip over boxes!

Nothing to update on my heart hook along rug.  Hopefully soon.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs 😊
