    • Well, who knew this was still here

      Posted at 8:47 pm by Don, on September 6, 2014

      This blog was an active endeavor for me for a bit – and then life got busy as I started my masters degree.  I ended the Don’s Christmas URL, and thought I had shut this blog down.  Looks like it stayed active.  I accidentally stumbled up on it while researching some items for my collection.

      To catch the world up, I finished my master’s all the while continuing in a limited form my collecting.  I’m in the process now of updating the inventory, who knows what number I am up to.  I was thinking of starting the blog back up, looks like I don’t have to- I still have this one!

      Can’t wait to get back in the swing of things.

    • I’m back!

      Sorry if you have been visiting and not finding this site – I switched carriers for the url, and the transfer meant the site was unavailable for about a week.  I should be back to posting tomorrow, and the break actually helped – I have three trees up, and one more to go.  Look forward to lots of pictures soon of the 2008 display!

    • Halloween Highlights

      Posted at 8:00 am by Don, on November 3, 2008

      Today I take the GRE as part of applying for my master’s program.  So you will have to forgive me for the last day or two – I’ve been busy studying.  So, instead of an ornament, I give you some pictures from our house at Halloween this year.  The theme was “vintage halloween.”  We had a number of trick or treaters, and it was great fun.

      Posted at 8:00 am by Don, on October 28, 2008

      I thought I would countdown to Halloween with some of my more spooky ornaments.  I don’t really have a “Halloween Tree,” but I do have a few ornaments that fit with the season.  Here is a devilish head created by Inge Glas from Germany.  Purchased in 2007 from the Christmas Haus in New Oxford, PA.

      I have been trying to concentrate more on designer class ornaments the last two years.  Here is “Sojourning Santa Bordeaux” by Patricia Breen (my only Breen so far.)
