ReplyDeleteEverything is lovely, I especially love the gold churches. I am going to have to go find myself a cane! I love that simple little decor item. I did a giveaway from Macy's for Christmas this year and featured Miracle on 34th Street. Thanks for giving me that idea. If you come and visit me, tell me how many hours it takes to put together your Christmas Fantasy house! It is just mind boggling! Loved touring with you. You really enjoy Christmas and go all out. How fun.
ReplyDeleteWow again! You have such a large collection of lovelies! Where could you possibly store it all? :-) Thanks for sharing your treasures with us.
ReplyDeleteEverything is Beautiful! So many lovely things to see. The wreath is so pretty. I really like your curtains also in the living room, nice color.
ReplyDeleteHow long did this take to put out all of your ornaments? I feel like a slacker.

ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful! Your home looks so lovely and welcoming-I could just curl up with a cup of tea and take in all the Christmas splendor:). Of course, I would have a hard time sitting down because I would want to study all of your wonderful vignettes! I especially love the cane by the door-what a great touch!
Blessings,
Kim

Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteMy, you do go to a lot of work! Where do you get the energy? I used to decorate every room in the house but I've had to cut back because I just don't have the energy any more. This year will be even less because I sprained my wrist a week ago. I love your carollers and angels. The churches are lovely and the hutch filled with white is gorgeous! Great job!
Blessings,
Sandi
OMG Debbie, that is a winter wonderland! What a gorgeous collection! Well I know for sure that Santa is stopping at your home!! I cannot imagin the time it takes to put that all up!!

ReplyDeleteDebbie, I just love how you've done your living room! I just took all 3 parts of the tour; your house looks fantastic! You are amazing. What energy you must have! And what passion.
