Merry Christmas to All!

 

I'll start in the kitchen with my hot cocoa area.  I've got a collection of mugs from Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma and a couple that were made up for us by a friend.  

A MacKenzie Childs cookie jar bought late last year.  This area gets used a lot!
 

I set up a gingerbread village near the kitchen dining area.
 
 I got my pieces from Home Goods, QVC and Hobby Lobby. 
The two nutcrackers were ordered on-line late last year.


A daytime view so you can see the tree better. 
The gingerbread houses are from Old World Christmas and Pottery Barn

Heading to the living room some more MacKenzie Childs and a forest of trees! 

 The candles in the antlers have timers in them so they're automatic everyday, which I like.
 
Reindeer candle holders

Love this santa!

 Santa's car has lights, so cute!

I created a wall of trees behind everything to help prevent my 8 mos. old kitten from knocking everything off!  So far it's working!
 
 You can see the dining table tray I set up through the trees.
 
A lantern from the Old Pier One store (before they closed).   A candle ring surrounds the red candle and two golden candles help surround the lantern.  Tablecloth from Home Goods last year.    The placemats may have come from Kohls several years ago.
 
Out in the living room I created a village setting with a new cottage and reindeer.  

The cottage is made by Cody Foster and the reindeer are from Germany that I found at Home Goods.  I couldn't resist the cutness of the cottage!
 
This is the 8 mos. old kitten, Charley.  He poses well!
 
Lana snuggled with blankets.
 

On our coffee table.  I did the same arrangement last year.  The santa is a Bethany Lowe I got a a neat little store in Rochester, MI where I grew up.  The reindeer were found in Petoskey, MI at a boutique store up there.
 
In the living room, the mantel.  Santa is surrounded with Nutcrackers, trees, and reindeer with lots of ornaments.  He's checking his list and they are patiently waiting.


Making his list, checking it twice!

More MacKenzie Childs items.  

Trees from various sources like Hobby Lobby and Home Goods


Thank you for stopping by!
Wishing you and yours a Blessed and Merry Christmas!
 


P.S. If you noticed the furniture legs are covered with plastic.  
Our daughter is home with her pet rabbit Fred, 
and he is allowed to come out 
but he loves to chew on wood!
