I have never taken a picture of this ornament , we use it every year. It is a Hallmark ornament and my Grandma gave it to hubby and I the first year we were married – see the date – 1984.
Notice all the Gaudy Gold – It looks fine in Christmas ornaments and on dishes…..LOL ! Drats – I don’t paint EVERYTHING !!!!!
I love this tree and I really want to start a bird ornament collection for it….I just plugged this and that on it for now…
I bought these nutcrackers at Joann’s last year for $3 each
Nature Decorated
our Small Home in The Country this weekend
I braved the snow to get some pictures (and visit my Dish Dive aka outbuilding to get silver chargers for Tablescape Thursday) the things I do for you………………………LOL !
See my boots………….
This was early in the day – we since then got mounds and mounds more. It has been snowing for over 24 hours !
This next picture when I was in the barn and you can see the back of our small home . See that building to the right ? That is where I keep my my dish stash. The building to the left is a 6 car garage – Yep, about the same size as the home…
Mr. Grady Tucker would like some grain……I gave him a huge scoop – look at those eyes…..He is all shaggy with his warm winter coat. See all the little flakes of snow ?
Here is little Vader romping in the snow – I do say, he needs some boots and a coat….maybe Santa will get him some. Can you see a little bit of Zorro the kitty in the dog house ?

WOW! It really looks like Christmas at your house with all that snow. It's beautiful!
Kammy,
You really take awesome pictures! The pictures of the ornaments were lovely and then all the outside pictures just made me want to get my boots on and come outside and join you!
Jane
WOW! That's a lot of snow! You have some pretty ornaments. I really like your Nutcrackers.
Hi Kammy! Wow! Look at all that snow! I really enjoyed all your pictures!
Blessings,
Sandra
Beautiful ornaments! Your photos of them are great - I am not having much luck photographing mine.
That snow looks cold!!!
Hi Kammy~ Looks pretty cold... but great photos! Thanks for sharing.. I love all your fur babies!
Have a great week!

I love it when you show all your wonderful animals, i love that, they are so cute, I am lovin your dish storage place, wow I need that...I loved my visit...
Your ornaments are so pretty. You take the most wonderful photos. I love the photo of the horse and donkey with a dusting of snow. That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Marcia
beautiful snow! I love all your photos
Beautiful ornaments....it's the only time I love gaudy gold, but it does the trick! Love that snow! Lucky you! Linda
Love the snow photos! Loving that little tree too. I want one! LOL
We had a tiny bit of snow, last night. It's all but gone this morning. I know this sounds silly, but one of the reasons we had all those windows put across the back of the house, was so we could watch it snow!LOL Last night we turned on a flood light just so we could see the snow. I know...we're crazy!;-)
We have a first Christmas ornament very similar to yours. Our date is 1983.
Loved this post,Kammy!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas after this post!! Thank u for sharing!
I agree with Jane, you do take great photos. You made those boots look like they were in a fashion shoot.
I thought Mr. Grady Tucker had a bad case of dandruff. Thanks for clearing that up.
Winter has hit here with our temperatures at -4 Celsius which is about 24 degrees Fahrenheit. Windy and clear so no snow for us.
Everything just looks amazing!
Still can't believe we haven't got snow...looking at your photos is enough for me...BBBRRRRR. Pics are beautiful!
Love your photos of the snow -that's as close as I'm willing to get.
Friend had a tree similar to yours, made of wood. She decorated with the 12 days of Christmas - one partridge, two turtledoves, 5 golden rings, etc - I think for a total of 78 and ALL different - it was amazing.
I love the ornaments! And Mr. Grady? Can you please send him over this way? He is adorable! :)
I wish I could also say that we received as much snow as you all, but alas, it was not meant to be this time around...
Thanks for sharing your winter wonderland. :)
Love that iron tree! Birds will look wonderful on it. We keep having snow in Southern Colo., also - I may have to break down and buy some boots. Stay warm. Sally
Such darling decor.
Will you PLEASE share some snow??? We hardly ever get a real good snow anymore....light dusting for the past several years...boohoo!!!
Keep warm!
Blessings~

You took some great pictures. I'm laughing about your dish house. I keep telling my husband we need to take one of these bedrooms we aren't using and make it for my dishes.
Sue
All of your Christmas decorations are lovely Kammy! And those outdoor pictures are amazing, especially of the dogs frolicking in the snow, and the much smarter cat who was having none of that silliness!
Happy Monday!
Carol
Looks very Christmasy there. I say NO to snow though...Love your ornaments..and you have already started your table for Thurs! I haven't had time to think about it..
Congrats on winning my give away!
Kammy how beautiful the photos of your tree are. I just adore your 1984 ornament. So pretty!
Enjoy this joyous season!
~Warmly, Melissa :)
The animals are so cute. The snow looks like fun. We haven't had any yet. Beautiful pictures.
Gorgeous photos! I especially like the photos of the animals in the snow and they always have so much fun running in the snow drifts.
Merry Christmas!
Great ornaments, I love your little iron tree. The snow is beautiful. Thanks for visiting.
Sandy
Ah, I loved seeing your furbabies frolicking about. Snow just says "Christmas" to me. Like your ornaments and I think your idea of a bird tree is great.
Kammy- I love seeing the snow, your furry friends, and your ornaments. I am glad you resisted the urge to paint the gold. I am not sure if I could safely let you in my dining room :) Thanks for the tour--stay warm!
Aww, your house looks so pretty. And, the snow is the icing on top of the cake!!
The animals look like they are having fun in the snow.
Have a wonderful week,
Nicole
You have some really beautiful ornaments. I love the snow but about this time next month I will be happy I do not have any! LOL
Love all the nature pictures.
Kammy, whoa, the snow is really coming down out there! I miss the snows in New Mexico- it's just not the same here in Ohio. How fun to see all of your animals- I love the pic of Mr. Grady Tucker. He's a cutie.
You took some great pics of your ornaments! That tree that you want to place a bird ornament collection is really cool. I don't think I've seen anything like that before. Is is new?
Thanks for visiting yesterday. I am feeling so much better and think I can get a lot more done before Sat. Maybe even bake a batch of cookies!
lots of hugs, Sue
Hi Kammy, looks like Christmas at your home. I love all your beautiful decorations. You made my heart sing showing all the animals in the snow. Just darling. We're in for a winter snow watch here today, so if I'm "lucky" may be able to post some snow pictures soon.. thanks for swinging in darling..hugs ~lynne~
What a beautiful snow! I just love the outdoor photos. Absolutely stunning.
I'm right there with you in ornament collecting. Our first Christmas as a married couple was in 1985. This is our 25th Christmas together!!
Lovely ornaments. The one from your Grandmother is very special. We supposed to get a bunch of that white stuff tonight!
Thanks for stopping by. I replied to your question on my blog. I love your pictures. You did get a lot of snow. Have a great day:)
Beautiful ornaments. I love the little horse. Such adorable eyes. No snow here, only rain :( Stay warm!

Love your blog, Kammy! Thanks for checking mine out, too.
The photos of the critters in the snow are great! Just love me them critters!!!
Since we both live in the country, I will definitely be keeping an eye on your posts for inspiration!

Hi Kammy! You have some beautiful decorations and lots of memories. Your snow is gorgeous! I love snow and don't get to see it hardly ever! Look at that little donkey - what a doll! What a sweet little face. And your little doggies - they're having fun in the snow! I don't blame them I would too.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I have two dogs the same breed as Gunner...ours are named Blu and Red and I love your photos of the snow. Anyway you asked on my blog if my Redwork of Santa was a print or the real thing...it is real I did the embroidery several years ago.
Thanks for braving the snow for us!! We really do appreciate it!
I love Mr Grady Tucker. Bring him in your small home in the country if it gets too cold!!!
I love the metal tree and birds will look great on there, but what you have now looks very festive!
Rhonda
Hello Kammy! I so enjoy your beautiful photos! They are so clear and pretty. Looks like you've got Christmas all wrapped up with snow even! Enjoy...
Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! Your ornament pictures are great! Mine always turn out so blurry when I try and get a close up shot-
Your pictures are wonderful! Love the animals! It's poring rain here today..no snow.
Beautiful tree & snow pics! A white Christmas would be wonderful.
Merry christmas !
