"Walking In A Winter Wonderland"
Today is the day!
You waited sooo patiently while I worked away like a little elf. A lot of love has been filled into each of these homes and packed into Santa's sleigh. I took a lot of care in designing and hand creating these pieces and I hope that you fall in love with each of these soon to be family heirlooms.
1) “Comfort And Joy”
Just outside of town, nestled in the countryside sits a cozy church ready and welcoming 'Comfort and Joy'. Oh, I hear the church bells ringing now! Every bit of this sweet little church has been lovingly made by me for you! I've adorned this building with Faux stained glass windows, a quaint bay window, “stone” work detail, arched windows and a beautiful round tower that holds a golden bell which actually rings. This will definitely become a family heirloom.
12” long X 8”wide X 13”high
$98
2)” Let It Snow”
“The weather outside is frightful, the fire is so delightful...”
But there is a place to go- Let your eye scurry past the Christmas tree and up the front stairs to the welcoming front porch. Then, let your mind dream over the cute deer in the front yard. Everyone's cozy with Christmas cheer inside this little home.…"let it snow, let it snow, let it snow".
This home was dreamed up with an amalgamation of friends and homes that I love in mind. A bay window, covered porch,,a chimney,shutters,sparkling snow, and custom trees and wreaths! Has snow ever looked so welcoming!
11” long X 9” wide X 8.5” high
$98
3) “Christmas Time In The City”
The city is all a hustle and a bustle with winter’s finery on display. The snow has fallen softly over the rooftops and trees are iced with sparkling snowflakes. The home has been dressed in the finest holiday trims, ready to delight each passerby and greet loved ones for holiday festivities.
This home is packed with details ...it’s Christmas time in the city!
This was the first Christmas home I designed for this year. A townhome/brownstone sitting ready to welcome in holiday cheer. Three levels of windows and a nice welcoming stoop at front door. This home is crowned with pretty roof details.
Holiday cheer surrounds this home from the custom Christmas trees and wreaths to the golden garland drapped around the top. Do not forget to check out the back porch :)
8’ wide X 12’ long X 13” high
$98
4) Santa Claus' Sleigh
Santa is ready for his world tour!
From the hand embroidered blue snowflakes on his coat to his adorned sleigh packed with Christmas goodies. Santa is ready for his special flight with a beautiful, strong reindeer. This was great fun to design for you!
“Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas!!!”
$35

Aaron says...."WOOOWWWWWWW" :)
Mary,
I'm usually an over-the-shoulder-observer of blogs...but after seeing these magical houses I just had to kick Jenny outta her chair and leave a comment myself. These are the best thing I've seen in a long time! The "pinkstone" is amazing. I love how the back stairs go to the side...I can imagine being down in that basement, looking out the window and watching snowy boots tromp up those steps. These are so special. I've always been such a fan of miniatures...they are the ultimate in escapism. When times are rough and days are blue you can just stare at these little worlds you've created and dream. Thanks for making these! They are perfect!
Oh yeah...I forgot to mention that it's Aaron (Holiday)
Well I will certainly "ditto" what the others have said...these are just gorgeous! So sorry I can't invest at this time but I'm sure you won't have a problem getting them lovingly adopted!
I love all the details and thinking about you having such fun making them :)
Wowza, Mary! Gasp! Such gorgeousity. You must've had so much fun making those!
Thanks for stopping in to say Hi, and thanks for the great link. I'm envious of you being able to ride with no hands......and the video makes me want to tie a ribbon or two onto my bike

Hello Mary! To answer your ?'s...no we are not near Covington, Ky. but way down on the Tn. border (our backyard only is in Tn. :)
And the cookies don't taste like divinity but like hard meringue! Hope you try them :)
I'm back to visit your WinterWonderland again! Honestly the most beautiful houses I've ever laid eyes on.
You could even take photos of the scenes and sell them as cards.
If i were in a better finacial situation I would buy the entire lot!
If I ever win The Powerball~I'll be begging you to design a human size one to live in!
