Christmas in the Dining Room…

Welcome to the dining room! I will just go ahead and warn you now that this post is ridiculously picture heavy! ;)

So here we go through the new doors!

Saturday was shopping day with the girls, Tammy and Jamie. We drove to Washington Court House in Ohio to go to North Shore Primitives! It was AMAZING. We will most definitely be going back!

But when we were there the whole town was having their Christmas open house so we hit all the fun little street shops too and got a lot of great deals!

I got this crow with rusty star garland for 14.99. Heck of a deal! He’s huge! And my doors were screaming for decoration! I ♥ him.

My Clothique Santa's. I love them. I got them at the thrift store of course. I hope I find more someday!

The dining room tree. It’s got 3 strands of pip garland S’ed through it and the rest of the ornaments are hallmark. This is more our nature tree. Most of the ornaments are hallmark Marijolene Bastin.

The Hallmark Village. Because of the doors I got to create this display and no kitties will kill it!

We also have all the Jingle pals except last years. It was Snoopy and I didn’t like it. I need to go get this years.
