Nutcrackers Galore!! (Scene Two)

Continuing from Scene One - the nutcracker filled living room, we move on to the front hall.... 

And then to the Dining Room. This room is split between Nutcrackers and Snowmen. Usually the Snowmen get to stay out until February even if they are also snowmen nutcrackers!

Nutcrackers at one end of the room...

Snowmen at the other!

 And to the side.

and 

There are even a few in the powder room! 

There are more scattered throughout the house but these are the highly crowded areas! So that is my house at Christmas! Fun to put out but soon it will be work to take it all down. Oh well, I do so enjoy seeing them every year! It's like a visit with old friends!!

(P.S. Yes, I also play the music!!)

Do you have a heavily themed Christmas decor?

Nutcrackers Galore!! (Scene One)

One of the things I love about Christmas is seeing my extensive nutcracker collection again. They start their exodus from basement storage on December 1st until they are full emerged with the decorating of the tree. I have loved seeing how some of you decorate your homes for Christmas (especially Heather's at Rose Hill Designs) and have been promising (threatening?) to show mine! I finally got around to taking the photos (too many photos)! 

I have a few new editions this year. First (and most exciting and important) is my new painting by Kristin Dudish as part of her 30 in 30 for 30 series. I am so thrilled to have him! 

(topped by my new "Chorus Line" nutcrackers that I received as a gift for Xmas)

Here are a lot more! (Not quite all but many!) From my Living Room....

These two big guys stay out all the time and are wonderful servers as side tables.
