My Little Mouse

Merry Christmas

I purchased this sweet little Hallmark ornament for my Grandmother when she was still alive. It reminded me of her when I first seen it she was always a seamstress and taught me how to embroidery she tried to teach me how to crochet but I just couldn't get it LOL. And who doesn't love a little Christmas Mouse? I set her in one of my sterling silver large ladles in my kitchen window

                                                         



Then I love this Old World Santa made from an old quilt another item I have had for years. Since blue is my favorite color I just had to have him. A Missouri artist named Kathy Bierly made it . She use to be my neighbor then moved away to Paris. He has a  burlap back pack and he had fresh greens with red berries in it when I bought it. He is 24 inches tall

                                                               
                                           
     Is anybody besides me tired? I am going to bed early tonight LOL

    Oh my goodness, YES. I just told the husband I might not make it to 10:00 tonight. One more "get-up" and I am off to enjoy the holidays. WooHoo!

    Those are both wonderful ornaments. Better yet because they have special meaning to them.

    Love that little mouse and the quilty Santa. I've had a little Hallmark mouse in a thimble pin that I've worn for years. I saw your post on Pink Saturday and wanted to drop by and visit.

    Somethings we should keep except in memories. Glad you did. Wish I had kept more of my grandmother's things.

    i have worked at several florist ... but one of them sold those little mice ... super cute. but they were not cheap either. i loved looking at them. wonder if they would ever fall off the shelf. luckily nothing happened when i was working there. got to dust them often. great dust collectors.

    I'm pooped, too. Finally the last day of school! Looking forward to a little rest and relaxation. Love your little mouse in the ladle! I keep a chicken in my copper ladle.
    Christmas is a perfect time to surround ourselves with memories, thanks for sharing yours. Wishing you a season of health, happiness and joy!
    Big hugs,

    Such a charming little companion, for the loving history she holds, and for her own sweet little self. The silver punch ladle just completes the picture.

    I hope you a wonderful Christmas,

    Such cute ornaments. I love ornaments with stories! Yes! I'm exhausted. Haha but it's completely self-inflicted. I have a terrible problem with holiday perfectionism.

    Your little mouse is special because of the memory of your grandmother, but my favorite is the old world Santa.

    Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
