A Few of My Favorite Things

My most favorite thing?   Getting the house ready for Christmas.

 I love red and white wood ornaments, mushrooms, and wooden birds.
Ergebirge angels clipped onto branches.   Tiny red mushrooms.
 An elf making a list, a very vintage ornament.
 Reproduction Putz houses on the tree.  Especially if they have reindeer on them.   Steinbach bavarian ornaments.
 Clip on mushroom glass ornaments.  Paper birds covered in glitter.
 A Bavarian clock-maker.   A red-roofed Putz house.
 Any ornament out of old paper.  Garland with red bells.
 More paper houses.  Flocked trees.
 Globe ornaments with animals inside.  Wood reindeer.
 My red and white tree.

Pierre Deux Quimper stockings.


 Rows and rows of 30+ stockings in the hallway.

My second tree with pine-cone ornaments, plus glittered fruit for color.  The deer underneath the tree.

 Pinecone Owls!
Bird house with pine cone roof.   Stieff fawn in the tree.
 pine cone branches with ice crystals.
 Pine cone ball ornaments.  Scrap paper garland
 Glitter pomegranate.
 Bird nests with eggs.

 More ice crystals on pine cones.
Reindeer wall hanging.    I think about how I hauled it across the country on an airplane....

The snow village barn with the cows.
Erzgebirge angels on staircase.

And waiting for my daughter and son-in-law to come home.
