This is a different dear. LOL. Here's Emma and Izzy the cat by their tree. I should have taken a better photo of the tree. I went over on Sunday ,and we all went to Lynzie and Mark's ,to see our new baby Max. I'll show his photo when I get the okay.
Matt bought this deer for Liz last year. You can see that Emma has put the shelf elf on it's antlers.
Liz just bought this deer on sale at the Cracker Barrel restaurant. Anyone who knows Cracker Barrel knows along with good foods, they also have a wonderful gift shop. It's was on sale too.
Here's Emma, Liz and Matt's stocking hanging by the fireplace.
I thought Liz did a great job on her mantle. She loves decorating. She also picked up a gold colored deer for the porch. I did not get a picture. He's about as big as Sam their dog.
On my way home on Sunday, I stopped at Karen's (Liz's twin sister) I should have taken a photo of her tree. It was loaded with pictures and crafts her children have make thru the years. So pretty. Savannah is very artistic, she made the star topper for their tree this year. :):)
Wishing everyone a great day. XO
The decorations are very pretty, I love the deer!
ReplyDeleteThank you Syliva. I wish I had taken more and better pictures. I think I was overly excited to see the baby. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie, Love the photo of Emma with Izzy! The tree and mantle are very pretty. We love to eat at Cracker Barrel (breakfast after we have been to the Dr.'s office fasting!) lol They do have such pretty gifts, also.
ReplyDeleteMildred, I am so glad you know Cracker Barrel. I used to love to take mom there....she would tell the names of some of the odd things hanging on the walls . You know old timey farm things. I knew you would love Izzy...she is so soft and pretty. Emma's other cat is Ozzy. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

Jo, I am glad you noticed the stocking deer. I had forgotten to mention that. Plus there's a real deer head mounted on the living room wall. I wish Matt had it elsewhere. LOL. He doesn't just hunt to kill, they actually eat the venison. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteVery lovely photos! Happy that i found you.
ReplyDeleteNice greetings from austria. I am your new follower

Hi Kuni, I am so glad you came by. It will be fun to follow one another's blogs. You must return soon , to see my new great grandson. He's brand new. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe white deer is cute, Susie, with the wreath around its neck. Oh, I just noticed the elf lying down on his antlers hehehe. The mantel looks so festive with all the Christmas decorations. I've always loved the saying "NOEL." It reminds me of Nel. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day, Susie.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, I like the Noel sign too. Funny how many things make us think of our children, isn't it. That just means we love them and they are part of us. I wish I had a photo of the deer on the porch...he was so cute. Blessings, love , Susie
Deletebeautiful job and such a lovely mantle!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, Liz tries so hard. She loves the gold colors mixed with reds. I think it's very pretty with some browns thrown in. Blessings, hope all is well. xoxo,Susie
DeleteEveryone in your family can craft and decorate! I love the pretty stockings! Enjoy your week sweet friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, My sister is coming to lunch and watch our soap opera. That will be fun today. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSuch pretty decorations. I really enjoy looking around the Cracker Barrel gift shop. I've found many good buys there. One of my friends and I meet there for lunch occasionally. Look forward to seeing little Max.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I have the okay to post of Max. I love finding sales at Cracker Barrel. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe deer theme is so pretty!!! I can see how this is turning into a really nice collection and I'm certain it isn't over yet!!!
ReplyDeleteI dearly love all things Cracker Barrel!!!!
Linda, I like finding something cute on sale at Cracker Barrel. I like to see some of the old fashion things there also. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteEmma and Izzy are so precious, Susie!! I love this picture. Crackle Barrel is one of our fave places to stop when we are on the road. I love browsing the shop and always walk away with something! lol!
ReplyDeleteJane xxxx
Blondie, Our Emma is a pet lover. LOL. She has Sam the dog, and two cats, Izzy and Ozzy. Plus you know she has those chickens. Don't love finding things on sale in the gift shop of Cracker Barrel..I sure do.Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh I love all the decor. I once had some deer. Saw some at Kmart yesterday that were as pretty as any I have seen but promised myself I'd spend no more on decorating this year. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteI have had the itch to go to Hobby-Lobby...but like you, I know I own enough. So I just reuse things and re- arrange ..then it can seem new. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI love the look of the white deer setting upon the evergreen boughs. This looks especially pretty with the rough hewn mantel and set up against brick.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming by. I thought Liz did well with her deer theme. You should see the deer head that is mounted from Matt's hunting. He uses the vension, so I don't put him down for hunting. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo,Susie
