This is on my porch

 My chicken crate I bought at a yard sale. I decorate it with the saesons.

 This is my big snowman that I bought at a yard sale for $2. I think he is great.

A snowman window/box that I fill with greens and lights. No I didn't get him at a yard sale.

 I am not much for red, but I did buy him, because I liked him. And he has bears with him. I guess that's what sold me on him.

 The ladder that the Santa's are on was my Dad's. The Santa that is lit, was on my tree when I was little.

This is more of my Santa's in the window

This cardbroad Santa I bought at a antique auction. Not sure how old he is. But I liked him anyway.

More Santa's. The one in the crate, I made. .

This is my Santa tree. Most of them are new, not from yard sales.

 This is my latest addition this year. I just fell in love with him, and had to have him

 A snowman picture on my closet door. I decorate everything. 

 My husband bought me this old shopping cart for our anniversy one year. I have it filled with bears.

 I have Santa's in my bathroom and the front room.

 I think this Santa is beautiful. He is more victorian.

This Santa scene is all in white. The trees are vintage.

Christmas Past 2010

A snowwoman that looks primitive.She is sitting on a child's old green bench

More pictures of snowmen. And of my bar with the garland and snowmen

A picture of an old berry carrier. I use to use one like this when I was a young girl and over the summer I would pick berries to earn money to buy school cloths. I also collect old graniteware, like the one in the picture.

This is a scene under my tv in the living room. I will explain it in the next picture of it close up. At the doors are snowmen.

 This old log house and the old pump and the celluloid animals are from my father's Christmas when he was little. This is priceless.

This is my snowman Christmas Tree in my living room. Some of my snowmen came from yard sales and some are from my father's tree when he was little. They mean the most to me.

This is kitchen stuff I buy at yard sales and decorate it for Christmas. Not the red coffee grinder, I bought that at a antique market.

This is a picture of above my cupboards, as you can see I also like to collect old tins. 

This is above my sink and window. I bought this Merry Christmas sign a few years back. And no not at a yard sale.

Another picture above my cupboards with more old tins and gingerbread.

Another picture above my cupboards with what else more gingerbread.

I like to buy old kitchen stuff at yard sales and decorate it at Christmas, like I did with this.



Another picture above my cupboards with more gingerbread.



This is a view from my eating area. The garland around my stove has my grandmothers old cookie cutters on it.

This is one of my shelf's in my kitchen where I have the kitchen items that I collect. Also I put my gingerbread on them for Christmas. The two big gingerbread cookie cutter tins that you see here I got at a yard sale.The gingerbread book I got at an auction. I only bring it out at Christmas.



Christmas Past 2010 - Part 1

 I finally got around to posting my Christmas pictures. The above picture is of my bears in my bedroom. 

The middle bear and the one on the right is wearing my dresses that I wore when I was a baby, and the one on the left is wearing the dress that my Dad wore when he was a baby. I keep these bears on my bed year round.

 The big bear in the chair I bought at a yard sale, he is a Boyd's bear.

This is my bear tree in my bedroom. Most of these bears I bought at yard sales. I just love yard sales.
