christmas past...

When I first started my holiday nest tour last week I mentioned how I felt my style has changed in a year.  It actually has been slowly changing over the years.  However, like me, I am sure many of you still save a few pieces that you just can not part with.  Pieces that hold special memories of Christmas past.  I usually display these treasures downstairs but since that whole space is under going a little makeover (more on that after the holidays) I picked out a few favorites and put together a little vignette in my entry way this year...

The Christmas tin sign was a gift from my husband when we were first married...

I collect Santas, especially when they have such a beautiful face.  The two cone shaped Santas were my Mom's, again love their faces...

I don't know what they are made of but it feels like a soft leather!  I also printed out some Christmas sheet music from the Graphics Fairy and added some Scrabble letters...

 I had a gathering on Friday night and put together little favor bags for my girls (thank you Ladies and Gents for a wonderful evening!)...

I am in love with these petite Flora Doora bags (thank you Jane!) that I got on Etsy.  They are lined with plastic so you can add some fresh cut flowers too!  The burlap ones are my favorite but I love red ticking at the holidays and put one on the back of my front door...

Under the table (which I am on the fence on painting) is this cute red chair that would go in front of the fireplace at Christmas when I was little...

Not much natural light shines in this spot of my house, let me turn the lights on...

Petite and sweet!!  I am not much of a tablescaper but I did put this together for my gathering...

Also in my kitchen I have Jim's stocking that his Mom made for him when he was little...

Isn't it wonderful!  I do not know what those spots are and I am afraid to wash it.  I am not sure why we hang it on the back door knob but that has been it's place of honor since we moved in.  Well, thanks for visiting today and taking a little peek of some of my treasures from Christmas past.  I hope you all have a wonderful week!
