Christmas 3 day event wreath

This Christmas wreath has a 3Day Event theme. The stadium jumper horse and rider, the dressage letters, the stadium jump and  the cross country jump,  make it so special.
Best of all, the people who gave it to me, make it even more precious!

Christmas Vignettes

Just wanted to share some Christmas vignettes!

 This Steiff bunny hand puppet and Steiff "Racy  Raccoon" are very dear to me.

My antique horse lives in the living room all year. He gets "dressed up" for the various seasons! 
A close up for further viewing pleasure!
My whole tree is decorated in an equestrian theme. The ornaments have been collected over my lifetime.

The tree topper fox "huntsman" came from Holt Refrew.  All the other foxes depicted were purchased in Middleburg Va.  during the 1990's.


Here are a few close ups of the ornaments.

This little bridal fox commemorates my wedding.


I do have a few birds worked into my tree. You can see a white barn owl here. He was a new addition this year and already needs a little repair job to keep him upright. Either that, or he just needs to stop dipping into the Xmas cheer!



Quail, pheasants and their nests!



You can't have a barn owl without a barn.
