More Christmas Mice

Over the years, I've put together a collection of Christmas Mice.  It started back in the 80's, when I'd take my son to Lekvold's Alpine Acres in Granite Falls, WA, to trek through the woods in search of the perfect Christmas tree.  We'd cut one down, put it in the back of the truck, and take it home.  While we were there, we'd also pick up our wreaths and visit the Holiday Hut, a little cabin in the woods filled with handmade Christmas ornaments made by three generations of the  Lekvold family who lived on and ran the tree farm.  Their cutest ornaments were the tiny mice they crafted out of felt and little buttons.  I picked up quite a few of them, and then added mice from other craft shops over the years.

This year, while visiting Sky Valley Nursery, I found the best (and largest!) Christmas mouse to date.  Here they all are, living in this great basket at the top of the stairs.  They add so much to the Christmas spirit in this house!
