Scandinavian Blogs Inspire me....

I follow a number of Scandinavian blogs and I'm pretty sure that it's mainly due in part to the fact that white plays a big role in their decor. Religious statues also take center stage and to that end I was inspired to put together this Christmas vignette.





If you have the time take a peek at the blogs from these lovely ladies that have so inspired me

Tis the Season...

We took a drive to New Hampshire last Sunday to hit a few of my favorite shops. As we turned down the street towards the White Home Collections this is what I saw on the front porch. Needless to say I was giddy....

Don't you just love anything filled with greenery? I do!

Just look at this A-dorable baby buggy complete with seasonal greens, berries and burlap ribbon for you'll never guess...... $34!!! My heart was pounding but alas I passed on it because I just don't have the space for it. There's always a first!! :)

I did come home with this little cutie (I find it real hard to pass up nesting birds) and a few other items that I'll share in a later post.

Birds of a Feather.....

Flock Together!!

How adorable hanging from my newly purchased tinsel tree!!

But alas, it appears I'm not the only blogger that came across these music note song birds at Tar-jay......

Fly on over to a few of my faves who also included these little cuties in a recent post:

Donna at D. Reynes
Kathy at Kate's Place
Sandi at Wayside Treasures

I'm thoroughly enjoying this little guy perched atop a barn-like birdhouse that is the backdrop for my manger this year.

And this little guy nesting in a wreath that's hanging from a mirror in my family room.

They were only a $1 each so I bought ten and THAT was by going to four different stores - YES, they made that much of an impression on me!

Unfortunately, Tar-jay doesn't sell them on-line otherwise I would have ordered more. I did, however, check out ebay and the only seller I found wanted $6 for ONE.... Looks like ten is IT for ME!
