I have a few favorite decorations that aren't ornaments. This little Christmas Quilt Shoppe came to me from a friend's collection. Years ago, a group of us met online through AOL. My four best friends came from that group and we are spread across the country. But there was a fifth friend, a very sweet lady named Sheryl. Sheryl passed away a few years ago after suffering from cancer. I was fortunate to receive two of her quilts...one was a top and the other was a partially quilted quilt. I finished both of them. I also received this little quilt shop, which lives in my sewing room all year long.
Another favorite is this Santa. A friend of mine made him for me back in college, so he's quite old now! That friend is now my daughter's Godmother. What I love about this Santa is not only that she made him, but he's hiding a surprise inside that you would never expect...
Yeah...Santa is my kind of guy!

that explains why his face is so red
Love that quilt shop and the Santa -- he's my kind of guy too!
How nice to have that little quilt shop as a reminder of your friendship. And the Santa, what can I say....he's adorable!
Santa needs a little 'cheer' too *s*
Carolyn, I have that same house and leave it up in my sewing room all year. I too still think of Sheryl from time to time and miss her! Hope your Christmas is full of joy.
