I have a tomte on my patio, and I have to keep telling folks that he's not a gnome lol I insist! I love than bell wreath. I have a lot of bells on my Christmas tree, and the wreath would fit in nicely. Hmmm... Maybe I'll look into that for next year :) Your embroidered piece makes a wonderful decoration! It's sweet how you display the childhood ornaments.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-3110774358147484162020-12-15T07:34:52.439-05:002020-12-15T07:34:52.439-05:00Wow - you went all out!

They're quite beautiful and diverse, too. And that cross stitch totally wowed me! Your mantel is really pretty -- I like your Swedish ones. And the "menorah" -- good point. I thought that too, until you mentioned there weren't enough slots. You're right. I wonder if someone goofed when they made it! <br /><br />No matter, it's a fun, festive house filled with color and light and I know lots of love. (Can you put lights on for now over the decor, tuck the cords in the branches and then take them off when you take it down and remove all the older lights then? It's a shame not to have it bright!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-3898357948233757152020-12-14T11:15:11.512-05:002020-12-14T11:15:11.512-05:00I wouldn't redecorate it now... but you could ...I wouldn't redecorate it now... but you could use icicle lights that drape? Just a loose spiral on top going down would give a lot of bang for your buck. Or let those Santas be the stars this year.

Here's what she said: No it's not a Lucia thing, more of a general old fashioned candelabra, not necessarily christmas oriented (I think). I recognize the style and would say it would be a grandmother thing here (ie my grandmother's generation). You don't see them very often nowadays.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-15083118896316280042020-12-14T08:05:58.448-05:002020-12-14T08:05:58.448-05:00Lovely decorations.

The thing you have has only 7 places. A menorah would have 9. One candle for each of the 7 days and a special candle in the middle to light the other candles. I have a friend from Sweden, I'll ask her if she knows what it is. Enjoy your day.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-47628527244315870462020-12-14T05:44:14.876-05:002020-12-14T05:44:14.876-05:00Beautiful!

I've had the same happen in the past with my tree and lights that have stopped working half way. I have a small set of battery operated lights that I keep for occasions just like this that I can fill in the gaps saves taking it down and restringing, like a little comfort blanket.. Still looks beautiful even part lit. Wishing you a super new week Hugs Tracey xTracey@Hotchpotchcreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362505772186981279noreply@blogger.com
