Santa on books - 1991, Maryland
Which got me to thinking about how many of my decorations were "re-used."
Russian carved santa - Moscow, 1993
This year, except for the Poinsettias almost all of my decorations have made prior appearances!
Santa Smoker, Germany 1984
When I traveled often I bought a Santa almost every year so I have santas from Germany, Russia, England, Poland, New Mexico, Virginia...well, lots and lots of places!
A lighthouse star from my Mom, 2005
My tree ornaments range from German, New England seaside, to scottie dogs (yes lots of scotties!) 
Plus a few sewing related....tiny thimble ornaments!
Christmas Music Magazine, 1927 (framed in 2010)
I even change out some of the pictures on the walls.
Today I'm making some fun table runners using Cowboy and truck fabrics...
need to add a few new things to the mix!

What a wonderful Santa collection, thanks for showing it here for us! Merry Christmas!
Haven't seen the White House Christmas special this year--wouldn't it be wonderful to have a team of decorators descend on your house and transform it in one day. Oh well, a girl can dream
Ohhh, I'm really liking the red trucks. Thanks for sharing some of your treasures.
I like to hear that the White house is reusing decorations. I always do and it doesn't seem to bother my guests! : )
Love the Santa collection from your travels. And the framed music magazine is a great idea. I have some vintage sheet music of Christmas songs that would look great framed. Problem would be where to hang them. : )
To me, part of the joy of Christmas is seeing the same decorations from year to year. I can't imagine getting new decorations every year. Maybe add in a few new things, but I want to see those older, much loved pieces from the past.
that is part of the magic of christmas, nostalgic decorations to revisit every year...
all wonderful!
wonderful decorations. I also love to see my favorites every year.
Merry Christmas!
Love the variety! I have used many of my decorations year after year but somehow new ornaments always find their way into the mix, as well as new handmade items. I have made a ton of table runners for others, but have a blank spot on my own table! Time to remedy that :)
