    1. Thank you Saskia. I’m glad you like the carolers, I had a large collection before we moved. I sold them all except these four which were the oldest and brought them to Florida with us. I have them on a console in our foyer along with the little feather Christmas tree.

  52. I hope you have the merriest warm Christmas in your beautiful new home. I suspect we’ll both wish for just one walk across the snow but we’re both in the best place we can be.

      1. I did… Except for the big gingerbread tree I store the small ones in boxes – too many little ornaments to put away. Of course my collection was started 40? years ago. I use to have another 6 foot and a 4 foot but scaled down 🙂

  90. Dear Karen,
    I wish you and your loved ones only the best for the new year and thank you for all of your visits to my blog and for all of the wonderful posts that you so lovingly prepare and share for your readers and myself. My husband and I are enjoying the beautiful ocean coast of Florida and I know that you, too, are enjoying the sunshine here! PS: I saw some ‘byers choice’ figurines in one of your photos. I collect a few of them also and it’s nice to know another person who enjoys them.
    Happy 2016 dear friend,
    Roz
