French Nordic Prize

We've finally hosted our belated Christmas celebration at 911.  It was a fun, chaotic weekend and now it's time for me to pack it all away.  Why is it so exciting to unpack Christmas decorations, and such a chore to put it all away?

I'm taking a little break from packing and cleaning to show you some pictures of the gift I bought for the dice game we play on Christmas Eve.

Cute button nose.



Big brown eyes.



Mona Lisa smile.



Meet John.  John Deere.


Now who wouldn't want to win this prime piece of French Nordic decor!  I went slightly above our price limit of $25-30 for the purchase price of $33.  I couldn't resist his charm!  And neither could the winner, Jeremy.  He has plans to hang him over their living room fireplace.  His wife has other plans.   :@

 Congratulations Julie and Jeremy!  Hehehe.

  5. Vickie,
    you always make me laugh! Mr. Deere is very cute, and, I'm sure he'll be very comforable in his new home, where ever he lands or I mean hangs!
    Yeah! Christmas is over, finally ready and am in the process of taking down the tree!

  9. Nice choice for the game. I have had a deer head hanging in my living room for five years now. My husband hung it as a joke in a place that I can't reach it. Silly me thought he'd move it eventually. Glad your Christmas is over now.

  11. Too cute! I know Jeremy must be thrilled. But I can identify with Julie. I have John's distant cousin hanging in my mudroom. lol
