what the flock?

I was going to start with Nativities, but thought I would have a little fun and start with some flocked Christmas animals. This first one was picked with a certain someone in mind...(they know who they are)

How cute is this little lamb?

Now I am moving onto some Nativities. My mom always put out her hand-carved Anri Nativity. She started with just a few of the major pieces and each year my father would add to her collection. All of them were carved beautifully, but the animals always kept my attention. Here are a couple of animals that once again caught my eye. 
I don't know what it is about this donkey, but I just love it.

This camel seems to have some attitude (which I also love)

 I found this neat Creche Manger

if you already have a creche or just want the figures, this is for you

 This little one is perfect if you don't have much room or would like to hang it on your tree.

 If you are more into a modern version, check out this handmade set

 Whatever your taste, you can find just about anything that will meet your needs. 

So now we have wreaths done and table settings, nativities and some flocked animals thrown in for good measure......I wonder what will come next...? I guess if you really want to know you will have to check in tomorrow and Friday to find out. (I am sure it will be interesting) 

hmmm, maybe next week we will post some of our favorite Christmas recipes....maybe not

have a good one.

Really cool Christmas tree stands

RattyAndCatty

Well, we now have a Christmas tree and the toppers but what we really need is a Christmas tree stand. You need a stand to make the tree.
Do you know how many cool ones there are? Let me tell you...there are lots and lots of them

LUCKY7DESIGN

These ones are vintage and I think I really need one of each. (I don't know what I would do with them all, but I like them...lol)

How about one or two that looks like it is part of a tree itself.

Next we can move on to the lights, or is it the decorations first? We have a mixed up tree, (which is VE’s fault) but in the end it will be a very beautiful tree.

Wishing you all Merry pre-Christmas.
