Today I’m sharing some of my French country pieces decorated for Christmas!
Natural wooden nutcrackers sit on top of my vasselier, along with pinecones and natural trees.
The Steiff animal tree is tucked into a corner next to this fabulous armoire.
If you haven’t heard of Steiff, they are a German toy company makes handmade stuffed animals. They produced the first teddy bear. The ornaments on this tree are a combination of actual ornaments and then Steiff miniatures we tucked into it.
This is a collection combined from my Mom’s and Mine. We have been collecting them for years!
I wanted to hang some wreathes from the armoire doors, but feared I would ruin the carvings if I hung something on them!
At the end of the hallway, the mantel clock has moved to perch amongst some simple greenery!
In the entry way, my vintage Santa and snowman greet you on this French piece!
My advent calendar is also resting here… hmm… not full of chocolate this year, boo!!!
Sitting on a little French country side table is a collection of handmade Santas and a little bear.
Wow, now how much would it cost me to recreate your Christmas tree? with the same ornaments? Is it insured? 😉 I have a few Steiff plush animals, and I know that older small ones are VERY collectable, (and yet unaffordable to me). I hope your family cherishes your tree. 🙂

It is a collection of many years between my Mom and I… over 20 years of collecting between us! I will say, for many of them we did not pay retail and found them on eBay and what not… and then also we’ve been to the outlet store in Germany and got quite a few there. But we do love this tree!!! I put it in the kitchen this year so I can see it more!
