Signs of Christmas 2011

These are the ornaments I just bought from Hallmark. The Madame Alexander is the 16th in a series, Puppy Love is the 21st in a series and Fairy Messenger is the 7th.

They are soooo cute, especially the fairy..

Thanks Tink. I love them. I've bought the puppy ornament every year for my older daughter for all twenty one years! My younger daughter gets the fairy ornament- this year it's called Mistletoe Fairy and the Madame Alexander is for me. I also have another Madame Alexander series -Angels - but that series ended a while ago. If I ever find my white tree, or buy a replacement, I was thinking of doing a doll themed tree!

The Yankee Christmas candles and some early christmas cards were out in a local garden centre. I had a good sniff of the scents, so much so that I nearly floated past the checkout!

Mole and Steph - I've been to the actual factory store for Yankee Candle - talk about amazing. I've never seen or smelled so many candles in the same place, at the same time. It was heaven!

Yep. I love that store. I got a buttercream candle from there once, and put it on my candle warmer at work. I had prople coming to my office from almost the other side of the floor asking me what that smell was...

Sammi - Did you go to the actual factory store in New England - New Hampshire? It is HUGE! Almost the size of a city block. Would love to go back someday! I try to catch the 2 for one sales when I go to their mall stores!

Are you talking about the place in Williamsburg, VA? That place is HUGE! My wife and I visited once. They even had an entire Christmas room that was loaded with all kinds of decorations. It was even snowing in there!! (artificial of course).
