The flocked tree in the kitchen. Most of the ornaments were made by my children in pre school and middle school.

Kitchen breakfast area with new wire ornament tree and old glass ornaments found this year at yard sales.

Part of my snowman collection on the mantle in the kitchen. Makes me happy to see them every morning.

Another one of my fav. tabletop trees purchased at Mistletoe market years ago. Most of the ornaments are old, I make the candy canes out of pipe cleaners. The tree skirt is a childs vintage apron.

I bought this plate rack from an Estate sale this fall and paid $6.00 whole dollars for it. It fits perfectly on this wall in my kitchen and is a great place to display china etc.

Toy soldiers bought by my husband at the same estate sale where I got the plate rack. He paid $20.00 for the set and we have displayed them on a ledge in the hallway.

The little dining room mantle. The Santa paper chain I got from a yard sale years ago. The oval wall hanging was woven by a neighbor and given to us as a very generous gift when we moved in.

The big dining room table and mantle. The cutwork tablecloth was given to me by my Sicillan Grandmother when I was a teenager. The tabletop tree I bought years ago. I decorate it with mostly antique ornaments and tinsel.

My newest aquisitions, handblown cordial glasses with candy canes at the bar. They looked so pretty with creme d' mint in them.

The finished tree in the Sittin room/den. The little angel on the top was given to me by my Mom when I was a child. This year I added some curly willow branches and fun orange striped ribbon.

The stairs with my collection of nutcrackers. I use fake greenery as the base and add a lot of real to make it look real and last longer.

The tables set up for a luncheon. I have amassed a large collection of Christmas china, crystal and linens. I just love to get it out and use it every year. Now to take it all down. Yuk.
