Today I am sharing my Santa collection that lives in my kitchen nook. It is a land of candy and happy colored trees and vintage Santas...a cheerful little world.
I enjoy eating breakfast with all these smiling bearded men...and no, I am not eating candy for breakfast!
Within the glass doors above this little scene, lives this little collection.
Some of these Santas have definitely seen better days, but they are simply charming none the less.
This little guy that looks like humpty dumpty on the left is one of my very favorites.
Ho, Ho, Ho.....hope your holiday is sweet!
Hi Laurie, Wow.......I have been
following your posts and love

Janis

Can I move in? It looks like a happy land. I bet it makes you smile every morning!
I love seeing your pictures. It really motivates me to decorate more.
Thanks for sharing!

I hope you have a huge house to house all of your treasures! It shocks me to see all the cool stuff you have found. I loved your post on Seattle too, now I know where to stop when I go there.

Is that a little spaghetti trim Santa planter I spy? I just unearthed two of them on Saturday at my mother's home, which we sold on Monday (sad). I thought I had a tolerant hubby but yours is amazing. I guess when all the stuff looks so great it's easy to enjoy it in mass quantities!!!

First, I love the whole mirror-candy-tree thing. And second, given our track record, we have relatively few of the same Santas. Woo-hoo! More collecting to do!

Eating breakfast with Santa would make me smile.

Gorgeous!! I just wish I lived closer, so I could come see your wonderful kitchen myself!

Well, I am certainly not surprised that, like pretty much everything you do or have - your Santa collection and display are AWESOME!!

I love all your vintage Christmas decorations. If my home looked like that, I wouldn't know what to do with myself! I'd just sit, and gaze, and get nothing done. I'd be in a Santa and Co. stupor!

Your kitchen nook makes me happy. And perhaps a wee bit jealous. Just a wee bit.

Hey- I got a little makeover. Come check me out.

I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN! This collection is so great! And the nook you have them in is to die for!!!!! Is there a chacne I could get some photos of it in detail, I have a closet with ugly bedroom closet doors in my kitchen for a pantry, and I would love to do a "nook" instead! My email is sanjos333@yahoo.com Thansk so much! Sandy
PS...the bead candy canes look wonderful on the tree!
