THE LONE NUTCRACKER IN THE WINDOW

MY COLLECTION OF NUTCRACKERS are staying in storage containers this year as the COTTAGE is in terrible disarray from our move-in.  I like using them in the DINING ROOM at CHRISTMAS TIME.  This year is a bit off as we are still getting settled.  

I did come across this one and thought I'd like to sit it in the KITCHEN window since he has gingerbread cookies on a plate.   On the ledge it went.

May your CHRISTMAS be bright,

NUTS I'm Crackers.....

FIRST TO GO are the Nutcrackers.  

They'll be dusted then wrapped in tissue paper or bubble wrap 
and placed into a storage tub.  Off to storage they'll go.

The exodus of CHRISTMAS items has begun.

It will be very slow to happen during the month of January.
Each day a little clean-up will take place.
First the Nut Crackers.
Then the upstairs snowflakes and flocked Christmas tree.
Later miniature Christmas trees out on the porch.
Outside wreath...the same.
Little Santas in the Kitchen....poof gone.
THEN the Nativity Scene and angels.
WHAHlaaaah...the Fireplace mantel decorations gone.
Last but not least...the Living room tree disappears.
February will enter the picture.

I wonder if I ought to put up a flocked Valentines tree 
in the screened in porch?  Hummm.
I have stuffed hearts already made up.
Will think about that one for now.

God bless you!
