Sneak Peek 2005

Below is a sneak peek of the decorations for 2005.  These are some I just wanted to post tonight, better pictures - and more - will be coming soon.

The pictures are fairly large and may take some time to download, but you will get a good idea of how things look for this year.

 

This is the tree after I had placed some of the poinsettias and Mark Roberts Fairies on the tree.

Fully decorated, the tree has 5,150 lights, approximately 430 ornaments and the tree skirt is 10 yards of fabric.

This is the tree after it is completely decorated.

There are a number of Santas around the tree.  They include Schaller, Lynn Haney, Russian Santas, antique paper mache molds, and Clothtique.

 

This setting is on the landing of the stairway to the upstairs area.  The Santa is by Jim Schurr and stands approximately 3 foot tall.This is an arrangement that I did this year.  It was something that I had wanted to do, and with these new poinsettias it just came together. 

This is in our formal dining room next to the Asian themed tree.

An ikebana arrangement that I did in an antique container in our formal dining room.

 

A Santa that we commissioned by Dennis Brown of Reasons to Believe in Kirkland.
