Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. If you go to visit her you can get a list of all the other participants.Today Beverly is asking us to show our favorite holiday ornament or decoration, first I thought I would show you some snow pics from a little snow storm we had last weekend. Winter has finally arrived here in WV. Bitter cold the past few days.

We have been feeding the deer just off our front porch. Poor deer are very hungry there are not many apples and nuts in to woods this year for them to eat. They are reaching the point that they will be waiting for my husband to get home from work to give them some corn. They are coming out of the woods before he leaves. I'm sure I will be getting some really good pics before this winter is over. We started feeding them on this side of the house because we are going to turn this porch into a Florida Room so we will be able to enjoy watching the wilflife from that room all winter long.
Now on to Pink Saturday which is not really pink this week. Maybe if you look hard you might be able to find pink. It's usually lurking someplace in my home. My first favorite holiday decoration is my Mother's Goebel Holy Family and shepherd. She loved Goebel's and had collected quite a few over the years. Every year when I pull them out I think of how much she loved them and was so happy to be able to collect them. She grew up during the great depression and was very thankful for anything like this that she was able to buy.
I have them setting on top of this curio with some of my other favorite things especially a pic of my son and daughter.
Another favorite of mine is this ornament that I cross stitched years ago. When my children went to Catholic School in NJ they always had a Happy Birthday Jesus mass on Christmas Eve. This remeinded me of those times.
A new favorite for me this year is a collection of vintage look tins that I purchased from Victorian Trading Company. I ordered them in a hurry and did not read the size I thought they were tiny and was planning on putting them on my small 24" Hoosier in my kitchen, I was very surprised when they arrived and were so big. I had to rethink my decorating plan for them and decided to put them on the chess table in the family room. There's still a little room there for my husband and grandson's to play chess. LOL
I love the table they set on, my husband found it at a yard sale for $10.00.
Another favorite, (I do have alot of favorites LOL) is this pretty tea set that I picked up years ago in of all places Walmart.
I just love these two ornaments that I got from Hallmark. Look how sweet this little holiday fridge is. The detail is just amazing! Please feel free to click on the pic to get a larger view of this cutie!
It even lights up and look at the pile of snow and snowman in the freezer. How cute!

Look at the detail in this little holiday stove, even cookies baking in the oven. It's even scented with a cookie scent.

New this year in my cottage is this cute little cake stand that I found at a thrift store for $12. I love it and it's perfect for my little teacup.

Now on to Blue Monday hosted by Sally of Smiling Sally, if you go to visit her you can get a list of all the other participants.
This year I put up a white tree with aqua ornaments in my bedroom. I love this shade of blue and had collected quite a few ornaments in this color. I love the look of aqua with the pink in my room. When I was little I used to color the sky's in my coloring books in aqua and pink. I guess it stayed with me.
