  4. I love the wood Santa's. I have a few of these in my collection too! I have some hand carved and painted Santa's that I purchased about 20 years ago. These are always the first ones to get displayed every year.
    Thanks for sharing some of your collection.

  7. Hi Maggie
    Along my travels I came across your name in the comments section of Garden of Daisies blog. When I saw your name I just knew I had to find out who Maggie B was because I am also Maggie B. Your blog is delightful and I'm glad I came for a visit. Love all your Christmas decorations.
    Cheers
    Maggie

  9. Isn't a Santa collection a jolly thing? Your Santas are all friendly looking - the first thing I notice. I like old fashioned Santas, so loved the one dressed in yellow - each year I try to cross stitch an old time Santa - they are all so interesting and different from the 20th century Coca Cola Santa.

  18. Your Santa collection is wonderful and your blog is looking very cheerful decked out in its holiday finery. I see you live in a beautiful place in France and like It's A Wonderful Life---two of my favourites.

  21. Love the wooden Santas. They have that old-fashioned air about that--makes me feel nostalgic!

  22. Maggie, each one of these Santa figures are adorable. It's it fun to pull them all out each year. It's like a visit from old friends. The mantel looks fabulous. Just got my mantel completed. I used fresh magnolia leaves and my assortment of wooden pears. I'll post photos this weekend.
    Hugs, sweet friend.....Sarah

  23. Bonjour Maggie...

    Trying to catch up on some of my blog reading. I love your new blog pic, your mantle is very pretty! It has that 3-D effect with the reflection in the mirror--very creative photograhy!

    I am going to try your Hungarian Goulash recipe. It sounds delish!!

    Have a great Christmas Holiday

  25. Oh, how gorgeous! When we moved to Belgium we didn't bring our tree trimming stuff with us (we thought we'd be here for 2 years...), and we still don't have a tree. But we have a LOT of Santas! I love to get them at the Christmas markets in Germany. Yours are wonderful, and I bet they make your house feel like Christmas!
