My husband got me a jewelry store for our Christmas village (which I''m afraid to put out lest The Demon eat all the little people again like he did two years ago!). It is called Pearlson''s Jewelers and for a minute I thought it said Pearlman''s!
Awww, that was so sweet!!Date: 12/26/2006 2:31:52 PM

my new bag for sure...but the second fave gift was this wrought iron bowl that my cousin and his wife gave us, she''s an interior designer and has fabulous taste...she and i are very similar and get along fabulously. they chose us for the family gift name draw and gave us this awesome bowl for on top of our kitchen island that is dark patina''d wrought iron on the outside and inside the bowl it''s beautiful shiny polished bronze...the bowl is made up of all these marguerite daisy flowers all melded into each other. it''s sooo awesome. one thing i love is that she buys direct from the manufacturer and they don''t make that many of the pieces they sell, so it''s not like something you''d get a PB or anything, it''s pretty unique. we could put fruit in it, but the inside is so pretty it almost looks better with nothing in it.
That was a very special gift for sure!!!Date: 12/26/2006 3:39:43 PM

Snlee & Ellen, it still just make me beam to think about it.
DeeJay is your village the Department 56 Snow Village? If so I MUST find this piece - a jewelry store how perfect is that??? I''d still like to get a bank too to commemorate my old career. Cute story about the Demon, my dog is also very protective of her new toys!Date: 12/25/2006 1:04:13 PM

The other thing that I really enjoyed was watching The Demon open his presents. I feel like I have some understanding of what you people with kids go through on Christmas morning because it was so much fun watching him open his new squeaky squirell and honking mallard in the santa hat (which he promptly hid behind the tree so that no other dogs could break into the house and steal it while he was opening his other gifts).

I can imagine! Kids are the best part of gift giving. We visited my Aunt who has 11 grandchildren and the youngest, who is 7, was ripping through a present and held it up to show her mom, her mom says "Who is that from" and Jessie looks up, shrugs her shoulders and says "I don't know someone just gave it to me and Scott [her 21 year old cousin] let me open it." She's this beautiful little innocent looking freckle-faced red head and you just can't help but laugh.Date: 12/26/2006 8:03:26 PM

Kimberly, he is so funny...he was SO excited for us to open it, and then kept saying, Well, I want it too! Then I would distract him for a sec and he would be fine, but the minute he saw it on my desk he would say, That's just my picture and I want it...if I said he made it for us, he would say, very seriously, But it's a picture of ME so I should have it...gotta love that logic! (he is only 5)
Oh DF, I love this... how sweet!! I used to nanny for a family during the summers, and at the end of my last year with them, their youngest gave me a framed pic of the two of us with our names scrawled in puffy-paint and sparkles glued all around. It may not be the most "tasteful" decoration ever, but that frame has traveled with me through multiple apartments and always gets a place of honor on my desk!Date: 12/26/2006 10:14:43 AM

I love my gifts, but my favorite is the little picture and frame my youngest made me and my hubby, but he keeps asking for it back! It has a cute photo of him in it, and he glued little things all around it...
