~It's a Dressed Up Cottage Christmas ~

Little bits of Christmas all through the house.

There's a  tree full of memories

Both old and new

Things to make the Grandchildren smile

And even Lizzie has several ornaments for the tree.

The most precious one of all, carried home from school in proud little hands.
This loving gift to Mommy always sits at the top of our tree.

After years of doing a monochromatic color scheme for Christmas of whites and creams and golds,
I went completely outside MY box this year and went with a Santa theme
Blame it on the Grand kids,
But this year, there's lots of red and white and I pulled out all of my Santa ornaments and put them in front
And speaking of Santa.......

Welcome to Santa Lane

Have you been naughty or nice??

Even this wacky Santa managed to find a spot, perched on top of a light pole

An homage to my Swedish roots. This is one of my favorite Santa's .

And my little Swedish girl always stands next to him.
Isn't she adorable?

Another little Santa scene on a glass cake pedestal

A simple vignette on the coffee table

I hope you've all been good little girls and boys
Because you know who has been watching........

NO..not Lizzie





THIS, you know you.
