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.
You got some good pieces. I know I got that load of Christmas early a couple of weeks ago. I need nothing. I am weeding out as I go along. I am early this year too I think most people are I have a couple of things going on in December here so I want to be on top of it.

My homemade dyed goose feather tree has limbs too long so they droop. When making the tree now wish I'd made the limbs a tad shorter and used those feathers to make another limb. Oh well, too late now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started decorating for Christmas and doubt I will since no one but me would see it and I'd have to put everything back.
I just Love real feather trees ! Your new one is Sweet !!! Nice Cmas goods !! I started to clean the house for company & put away some things to make room for Cmas treasures . I am anxious to decorate ! You need to pull a few loops after decorating ! LOL
ReplyDeleteYes you need to decorate pronto. Takes a while to set up and it's over too soon so get moving!
ReplyDelete“I guess the reason I am purging items not used is so I can buy more stuff that I don't need.” Absolutely perfect explanation! I need to work on that first part though. In order to make things “easier,” I usually take some Halloween down and then bring some Christmas up. So, there is always a mix of Halloween and Christmas going on with a the few turkeys and such I have thrown in for a true mix. 😁😁😁. But, like Mummy D, I seem to do less and less as with everything I bring up, I think about the fact that I will just have to put it away in a few weeks and no one sees it but me. So far, I’ve convinced myself it’s a (mostly”) good idea. (Still no tree though after many many years. :-( ) Love your new additions to your Christmas collection.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your two new Santas, especially the one with the long beard and black sac. I'm sure your house will look amazing again this year. I may put out a few decorations for the great grandkids but I'm not in the decorating mood yet.
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy the season. Happy Thanksgiving.
Hugs,

Both of those Santas are very handsome! I managed to resist Christmas decorating until now.... I'll be decking the halls tomorrow while the bird is a roastin'! :-) Happy Thanksgiving!
