The Sleigh


This enormous sleigh is to be found on this porch every Christmas. 
I have met the owner of this house and admire her attention to detail.
I am so happy I stopped what I was doing today to take these pictures.




Look at the tiny package filled wagon and the dollhouse.


The chalkboard is another level of detail that is marvelous.


A Christmas tree reclines in the rear of the sleigh.


This is the view of the wide porch. 
Not every one can put a big sleigh on their porch but I am glad she does and does it so well.


The Grinch lives across the street from the sleigh and a delightful couple lives in this house.


The wreath coordinates with The Grinch.
Good planning.


The entire time I was snapping these images Mr. Squirrel was making the loudest racket while eating this huge nut.

  2. Your neighbors certainly are in the spirit of things, Olive. Such darling displays. I peeked at your beautiful cards. Your compositions are wonderful! I've never taken enough time to do that sort of thing, but I would love it. Your subjects are spectacular!

  5. Amazing that stuff doesn't get stolen. I guess even in the criminal element world there is some point of dignity and respect when it comes to holidays.

  6. That squirrel is hilarious!

    LOVE that sled. Oh to own and have a spot for one of those! I just would not want to store it!

    The grinchy wreath is adorable. Love that checked ribbon! Thanks for scouting the neighborhood for inspirations for the rest of us, Olive!

  8. Olive,
    What a wonderful sleigh! It is perfectly staged, even to the tree in the back and the candy cane antler-y type thing with it. And the Grinch wreath is terrific.

  14. Love that porch all decked out like that. It's so much fun to walk the neighborhood and see everyone's handiwork. I like the grinch decor too. That's so creative. That squirrel stole the show though. I can't believe he didn't run from you. He is as cool as a cucumber eating his nut! My dog would've made a mad dash for him and ruined that shot. Ha!

  21. I have always thought it would be neat to have a sleigh (but be real, where the heck would I store it?) My moms friend had one that went out in the front yard every christmas season.

  22. I'm glad you stopped to take these pics too. Love the sleigh, and the grinch is a riot.

  23. I bet the little squirrel stopped making loud munching noises once you took his picture. Poor thing - what a squirrel has to do to be noticed ;)

    "She" loves the Grinch. Me? Well besides the squirrel, I do like the sleigh - looks like a few good places in there still to nestle down and get a few winks of nap...

    Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!

    Purrs!
