My mother painted this ceramic Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. I didn't realize it but she wrote her name and the date on the bottom of each piece. They are dated 1970.
Lladró Nativity
I even decorate the bathrooms.
Our tree is filled with 46 years of memories!
Giving is a joy and isn't it awesome when you know the person receiving your gift really liked it!
The vintage Christmas Carol songbook was my mothers and is very meaningful to me. I love it's beautiful illustrations. The caroler music box plays Silent Night. It was purchased many years ago in Columbus, Georgia, while my husband was stationed at Fort Benning.
The Flight to Egypt Goebel figurine grouping was a surprise gift from my husband. He found it on Ebay for me. It says 1961 on the bottom. I love them.

Just beautiful Bonnie...from the exterior lighting of your home to the lights of your Christmas tree...your Byers' Choice Carolers and sweet Christmas Carols Songbook. I love all your nativity sets and how you captured the beautiful bokeh and reflection of the tree lights behind your Flight to Egypt Goebel figurine set. Wishing you the Joys of the Season. ♥
ReplyDeleteAbsolute Christmas. So beautiful, Bonnie. I love how you have kept and grown your collection of memory filled pieces. Makes decor meaningful and moving as well as beautiful. Your home is FILLED with love and appreciation of the season of our Savior's birth. Well done. Merry, Merry Christmas, sweet lady! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteOh, Bonnie, I love your home's single floor layout! Your nativity collection is very special, and I love the Flight to Egypt - have never seen that! Those Byers' Choice are classic, and I just love them. I spy the Santa mugs on the counter too - sweet. Your holiday touches are wonderful, and the tree full of memories unwrapped super special. Happy Holidays, Bonnie. I hope you feel like you've crossed a major finish line at this point on the calendar and can relax a bit into all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your home is so beautiful both outside and inside. I love all your nativity scenes but my favorite is Flight to Egypt. Your home looks so inviting and reflects what this season is all about. Love it all. Dianne
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your home looks holiday perfect, such inviting outdoor lights and decorations of welcome and then all your touches everywhere inside! Your nativity figures are just beautiful, and what a treasure to have a set made by your Mother. I love the Carolers on your mantel and all the fresh greens, you are ready for a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your home is stunning but especially at Christmas! How picture perfect with your collection of special naivety. Flight to Egypt is really special as the one your mom painted. I love how you do a lot and it looks effortless! I love your beautiful home Bonnie and I enjoyed the tour............
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed touring your Christmas home with all of it's special touches and carefully selected décor. Your nativity scenes are beautiful and such a special keepsake treasure made by your Mother.
I hope you have a lovely weekend,
Jemma
Bonnie, you have such elegant, lovely decor for Christmas! Your home is beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I know your family enjoys celebrating Christmas in such a lovely space.
ReplyDeleteYour home is just beautiful and so warm and inviting. The different nativity scenes are perfect touches and remind all who enter what the true meaning of Christmas really is. But, of all the pictures, I love the mantel. That's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteStunning as usual Bonnie....I love it all. The flight to Egypt is lovely. All your decor is amazing and so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the real reason for the season.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I love your Llandro nativity pieces. Always a classic. Really pretty vignettes and what a nice place to enjoy the holidays.
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteYour home is so beautifully decorated. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season..
Love,
Mona
Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all your gorgeous nativities! What a beautiful reminder of the true meaning of the season! It was so nice doing this blog hop with you!
Lovely, Bonnie, your exterior shot is gorgeous! Yes, I love giving gifts, and wish I had more to give to.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, the exterior of your home is truly magical, it is so inviting, it welcomes you to come in! Immediately it is evident of the sweet, sweet Spirit that dwells within your hearts and home. Your beautiful collection of nativities are truly the centerpiece of your Christmas decor, and without the manger there would be no Christmas! I love the one your Mother painted in 1970, what a priceless treasure. The Lladró is exquisite and the Flight to Egypt by Goebel is equally beautiful! Your mantel and tree are perfectly gorgeous. Oh how I would love that vintage Christmas Carol songbook, another precious keepsake! And last but not least I always love Byers Carolers! Fabulous job, my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, it is simply stunning. Beautiful creche collection. (And doesn't everyone decorate the bathroom?) Every bit is inviting, warm and welcoming!
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty Bonnie. Everything is! Love the front of your home. It is decorated so pretty. All the nativity sets melts my old heart today. Girl, you have done some work! Love it all. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThe outside of your home is gorgeous and the inside is just as beautiful. I love all of the nativity sets and the one from your mother is such a keepsake. Your decor really shows the reason for the season!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your home is both beautiful and welcoming! I love that your tree is similar to ours. 40+ years of Christmas ornaments. And the memories attached to each one. Your tree is just gorgeous. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHow meaningful to decorate your home with ornaments that represent the true "reason for the season" and each nativity display is so unique and lovely in its own way. Very special also to have items that belonged to your mother and no doubt, have fond memories attached to them. I really enjoyed seeing the outside of your home all lit up for Christmas - so pretty! The last pic with the carolers under that beautiful mirror with the boxwood wreath shows a fantastic display - well done! So enjoyed my stop here on the Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteYour home is just beautiful, decorated with so many meaningful treasures. The Christmas song book on your piano brought back some wonderful memories of one we had that was very similar but for the organ. I used to play and sing all those songs over and over again. You have some very special nativity sets, how wonderful to show them all off. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us on the hop!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Bonnie! I can see that you and your family enjoy the season. I love this season, decorating our home, and spending time with family and friends. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, you have such a gorgeous home! The nativity made by your mother is so pretty, and I know that you must treasure it so! Your home not only looks beautiful for the holiday season, but it looks warm and inviting too. Merry Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie - I thought you were taking us on a tour of a holiday mansion - and here it is your own mansion! What a picture your home makes all lit up and decorated for Christmas! What a joyous time of year and it would be such a joy to just drive up to your gorgeous home and then to walk in and enjoy all of your lovely things. Have a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour home is so welcoming, Bonnie, from the outside to the inside! I especially loved seeing all your nativity sets places so lovingly around your home. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and I love the cozy glow from the lights on the outside. Thanks for sharing with us at Celebrate Your Story.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your home is gorgeous! Love the decor and the pretty lights. Truly magazine worthy. You have decorated your lovely home beautifully. So glad you are sharing such beauty. Blessings to you Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteLovely, inside and out. So warm and inviting. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet that you have the Christmas Carol book from your mother to display at the holidays. I enjoyed all of your different nativities. I have a Lladro one also, but it is different from yours. Ours sits on my bedside stand in the master bedroom. You look like you are ready to celebrate the holidays! Merry Christmas and thank you so much for joining another blog hop!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your beautiful traditional home is made for Christmas decorations! I love it all especially the Goebel figurines. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Everything looks so pretty:)

Everything looks so so pretty....Merriest Christmas
ReplyDeleteYour nativities are all lovely. I have resisted the carolers so far, but after seeing yours I think I may brake down and start collecting them. I can almost hear them singing.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your amazing Nativity collection. So charming!
ReplyDeleteTudo está lindo, muito lindo. Feliz domingo.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully decorated. All the nativities are adorable and so attractive.
