1960's Santa my grandmother made...I've had to add a little cotton over the years but he stand's pretty much as he did when I was a child...which is honestly, a little wobbly.
It's no secret that I love color....bold color...always have and don't guess I'll ever change. My house is easily decorated at Christmas because of all the red I already have, but I love the way it looks best at night, with only the lights from the trees and the candles in the windows.
My little thrift-store snow village sits atop the player piano in our den. The background is a 1920's velvet painting that came from my great-aunts home after she passed away at the age of 99 a few years ago.
Tiny little hand made reindeer and a crystal tree...love the contrast of materials
The last three photos are of our little tree and a tiny Santa, but with a little embellishment from photo shop...
Watercolor tree
...and the glowing tree.
1950's ceramic skiing Santa
Will you miss the ambiance of the lights after the season is long gone? I really do, and will keep out a few window candles through the winter as well as the snow village minus Santa and decorated trees.
Link your photos, I'd love to see your nite-lites.
