My Village People

About 20 years or more, I stopped at a yard sale near
my home and found a small tattered box, I peeked inside
and was soooo totally amazed at what I saw, it was
a tiny vintage village with darling little folks, some sitting
on pine cones others on ski's, but they were all so adorable!
I'd hoped to collect a village just like this one someday,
but I never dreamt I'd find it at a tag sale for $.50! So
needless to say I scooped the box up and the
rototiller I also found! To this day I believe it
to be my best yard sale EVER!!!


I love each and everyone of these little guys!

Each elf has such personality!

Where Oh Where has the time gone, Christmas has almost come & gone!

Here's some of what I've been up to, I love
decorating for Christmas and this year I went
crazy with glitter, silver & white and my all
time fave cyrstal & glass, I looove the
SpArKle!!!

Such a fun centerpiece, from the silver
balls to pearls & vintage rhinestone necklace,
pins & earrings lots of Glitter & Sparkle!

My table centerpiece is full of fun & 'SpArKlE'

My Vintage tree top angel is an Ebay find that I
so looove, I thought it was just like the one my
Grandfather had on his tree when I was a little
girl, but my Uncle tells me it's not quite the
same.

My dining room cupboard is brimming with Santa's
and fun Christmas Goodies!

This wreath is quite large and mostly houses my vintage
Christmas items I've collected over the years, however
I think I left my glue gun at work and quite a few treasures
are waiting to be reunited with old friends!


My Mantle...


I've got a few things to take care of still, my almond roca
is cooling but there are mounds & chocolate covered pretzels
to make,(yes, still tonight) thank goodness the Pizzeles are done!

WISHING YOU & YOURS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS,
and I hope all your dreams come true and
from MY HOME TO YOURS, WE SEND BLESSINGS
OF A HEALTHY & HAPPY NEW YEAR! With Love, Debbie~
