While I love the originality, I must admit that it's a bit unsettling having doll faces staring at me from a Christmas tree. Just one man's opinion. I still love the idea that you have combined your doll hobby with your Christmas hobby.

Dolls do freak some people out!

Do you like trees with Teddy bears or snowmen?

[mina553]

[ornamentmaven]

Do you like trees with Teddy bears or snowmen?

I know - they all have faces - most of my ornaments do! Anyway, I've done alot more decorating and will post more pictures as soon as I figure out what is wrong with my camera! Something is always breaking at my house!

The ornaments are about $15 each. The actual dolls - such as the topper - are at least $90 each.

Yep it's me OM my Daughter has it hanging outside her bedroom door she has been marking the days until Christmas with that calendar since she could stand now she is 24. :elf3:

[SilverBells]

It's all very pretty OM.

[ornamentmaven]

Yes - it hangs outside my daughter's bedroom door as well! I bought it from Avon originally - probably 28 or more years ago!

[mina553]

your decorations are beautiful i esp love the roller blades & the donut
my daughter is 23 & ever since she was a kid shes been just like that 2 counting down the days & her baby is also like that 2.

[*Snowflake*]

beautifull, you have so manny Christmas villages:xmaswink:

[ChantelleJoy]

Okay - here are some close-up pics of my village:

OM - I am jealous of your village for sure! :)

[ornamentmaven]

Thanks *snowflake* and Chantelle! Chantelle - one day your village will be as large if you keep adding pieces each year! Mine started about 25 years ago when someone gave me a set of 4 buildings and some accessories. I added a building each year, until a few years ago when reality hit me...I was out of space!

I have a friend who has 200 buildings - no exaggeration! She does a beautiful table set up and then puts the rest of the buildings on "snow" covered bookcases set up around the room. Her entire family helps her (husband and 5 kids) and they start setting it up before Halloween! So mine feels tiny in comparison!

[NSCountryGal]

For a tree with a lot of dolls that looks pretty good. I like the white and purple bulbs too.

[ornamentmaven]

I've downloaded a few more photos of my decorations. Here are some general shots of the livingroom:

[ornamentmaven]

Here are a few VERY old items: a toy Santa and a Santa mug

[ornamentmaven]

Some other favorite items: A Build-a-Bear Christmas Panda, the bottom portion of my fireplace, the children's rocker, special Santa and angels

[SilverBells]
