I love your idea of using parts of the village throughout your decor. I would not have thought of doing that. We just returned from dinner at our daughter's and she's done her kitchen in a gingerbreadman theme. I love yours and hers! :)
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Michigan! I can tell you really love your gingerbread men and blue jean stockings as you used them again. Looks so festive there! I hung a wreath on the door and a swag over the doorway in the family room-that's it. I did almost all my cards and need to get some packages sent and I'll go to town.
Sue, please post pics of your daughter's kitchen on your blog! I would love to see it.
Dianne and Sandra, I hardly ever send cards any more. I used to love getting them. I remember my Mom hanging them all around the archway. It was a lovely tradition. Glad to see it has not died out completely (except in my home).
So beautiful, Zoey!! I love the idea of small trees on top of different cabinets, wonderful idea! And yessss I had guessed right that it was the allium you had used:-) Love the themes you went with, just soooooo gorgeous!!!!! I don't know if it's part of getting older or what but after I'd done my decorating, my body was aching for days after! Bah Humbug! lol
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.
