Pink Saturday Favorites

My favorite Christmas decoration....why that's almost like picking my favorite child. This year I've pulled out all of my decorations because my house is one of eight on the Heritage House Christmas tour. Some things haven't been out in years and some things don’t make it onto the tree every year.  My tree in the living room somehow turned out all silvery white last year so I'm going with that again this year. I remember where almost every ornament on there came from and who gave them to me.It's when I get out the things for my kitchen tree that I really smile and get a lump in my throat.   It's like all the special people in my life are right there in my kitchen with me.  My son in 2nd grade giving me this little pair of  felt and paper clip ice skates he made at school… lots of things from my girlfriends and my shopping trips with them.  There's my sister with the Mary E ornament. 

My son found these Santa mugs and pitcher at a flea market years ago and thought I might like them.  (Chip off the old block…they turned out to be Holt Howard!)

  

Love this checkered Snowman from my sister in law. 

Since I just didn’t have room for a larger tree in here this year I put three small ones into the old roaster and garlands over the doors to hold most of these ornaments. 

(And something’s going on with snowmen…they just seems to multiply) 

Anyway, I love all this stuff and it’s a happy place when all these guys take their place each year. 

Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound  for hosting a fun December Pink Saturday special event.  Stop to visit her and all the Pink bloggers.  I’ll be stopping by later this weekend since I’ll be away from my computer all day today.  Can’t wait to see your favorite ornaments! 

Be Merry!  Nancy
