When you have Grandchildren you decorate for them. Usually this buffet has the entire village up, but this year, I went with a snow and our favorite things theme.

Unpolished family and thrift store silver softly reflects the lights. The white weasels are Royal Copenhagen from my family's collection.

A sugarplum fairy, vintage trees, a plastic scene, an old chalkware Santa, and mice all occupy my buffet forest.

The Nisse elf (representing Scandinavia), is one of an old series of Santa's around the world, issued by Carson Pirie Scott in the 1990s. I have several. I have two Rudy's, one from my husbands grandparents, and one from mine.

We can pretend it is Rudolph and clarice. The Ty baby, is the Grand's and she always wants it in the decorations.

Mama Bear and baby, play in the sparkling snow---they are Royal copenhagen from my family.
The sweet bird, is one of the last gifts I gave my mom.

Back in the forest, a sweet fairy does her magic.

Only a few feet away is the Christmas tree. This is the first year with all glass ornaments in quite awhile. We downsized the tree last year, and it has wonderful open spaces to showcase our collection.

In an Antique fenced stand, a few toys lurk before presents are banked around the tree.

My 19th Century spinning wheel, has a few decorations. I still have elves to find that will play on this.
