This is my favorite post! Oh, the photos and the walk through your history. Grandmother's pearls, the sleigh bells, the creche. I understand exactly what you mean when you say everything has a story. It does and I'm so glad you took the time to tell some of yours. I will have to go back and look at every photo again -- and when I do, I think I will be smiling as much as I am right now!
I love this....everything...the sleigh bells...wonderful...xoxo
Funny, I have sleighbells as well....your house looks lovely with all of the decor. Sorry your snow has melted but I'm sure that there will be more to come. You've been very busy. I guess it's that time of year. We are supposed to get very cold this weekend ..in the 20s.. it was 50 today. I hope I get my computer back soon I can't remember all the stuff that was on your previous post but I did read it! 😉
What a wonderland you have created Lynne...
Beautiful keepsakes...memories...love♥️
My favorite memories are of Christmases spent at our family cottage as a child...
We would go out with my Dad, and cut down a tree...Mom would be busy...as usual...preparing a feast for us and friends...thanks for allowing me to remember those times...
Enjoy your evening my dear...
Cheers!
Linda :o)

My sister started doing the pickle thing when all our kids were little. I love your little bottle brush trees and white reindeer. They remind me of decorations we had as kids. -Jenn
