Week In Review

31 Saturday Dec 2016

Posted by indyandlucy in Christmas Cards, Christmas Eve, Christmas Ornaments, Holiday, Scottie Fridge, Week In Review

We had a lovely Christmas. Our Scottie tree although Mom used the small tree was beautiful.

We are leaving most decorations up till Sissy gets home Jan. 16th.

We can’t wait. We also received cards from all our friends for the 2016 Scottie Fridge but for some reason Mom cannot upload the picture. She has even tried with a new photo. It just says xscottie fridge and it won’t show the pic. Just one more reason to dislike Word Press as far as Mom is concerned.

A friend told Mom about a new store in a city near us. Its logo is a Scot because the owners have one. She found a couple of cute Scottie things.

If you have any suggestions why our fridge won’t post, let us know. Safe travels if you are celebrating tonight. We’ll be in bed by 10…hey, it’s new years somewhere.

Love ya. ~ Indy and Lucy

We have seen numbers 1-16. #17 is outstanding. Mom won it in an eBay auction and it is destined to become a favorite.

#18 is much loved. It’s a bobble head. Soooo cute.

We have had this next ornament for awhile. It reminds us of a float in the Macy’s Parade and who doesn’t love a parade.

Our friends, Mary Bower, Piper and Skye sent us this ornament. #20, they personalized it for us. Thanks again, guys and be watching your mail.

#21 is another auction and obviously by the same woman that made the sled. Love it.

This little Scottie came from an Etsy shop called ThePuffinPot. It’s sold as a group of four in different colors.

#23 and last on our Parade of Ornaments is a collage of ornaments past. Thanks for being on the parade route this year.

Merry Christmas from our pack to yours. ~ Indy and Lucy

Number 11 is a cute ornament found on Etsy from a shop called PuffinPatchWork. Mom has purchased these over the years and they come in all shades of Scottie with bright little jackets.

This fall we made a repeat visit to Door County and stopped in our favorite shop, Pet Expressions. Verna always has the latest in Scottie stuff. The web site is http://www.petexp.com. Don’t you love this little guy with the ‘bed beard’. #12

This one, #13, arrived this week from our friends in Australia, Ling, Sharon, Munchkin and Ruffles (RB). It is so elegant.

Number 14 was found on ebay.

Mom really bought it for the back although she likes the vintage Scot on front.

Our friend, Lesley Connor, told us it was used as a party/table favor at the convention that year, compliments of Campbell’s Scotties.

Mom loved this the minute she saw it. Number 15 is a limited edition from http://www.campbellscotties.com.

This too is from Campbell’s. #16 is an adorable sequined Scottie. Obviously this place is a mecca for the Scottie lover.

The first 10 days of ornaments are all new to our tree. Some can be purchased now in stores and online; some are vintage acquired through auctions and ebay. We will continue till Christmas Eve when we light our tree. We have already posted the first two but….just in case you missed it.

#1 can be found at any Talbot store. It looks like mercury and lends light to the tree.

#2 can be bought on FB. The page is Doodlebug Creations. Kath makes great Scottie personalized gifts.

This tiny heart of Scotties sits perfectly on the tip of a branch. Mom saw this in an Etsy shop called WeeChookieBird. She loves Etsy as a source of handmade items. #3

Mom has loved #4 for years since she saw it in one of Melane Beesun’s miniature houses. A friend told her they were sold by Christopher Banks. She has seen one on auction several times and this year was able to get it.

Vera Bradley went all Scottie this year. #5 is just one of the many Scottie items available wherever she is sold.

Mom can always find ornaments at http://www.campbellscotties.com. This Fair Trade happy little Scottie is from there. #6

#7 is vintage and was found on Etsy. It is sure to become a fave.

#8 was a gift from our friends in Belgium, Patricia Bonnel and Sir Achille. Made by Gaby Jans, it is lace like with a beautiful red Swarovski crystal bow. Love!

#9, what is not to love about a Scottie in a jacket? It can also be found at http://www.campbellscotties.com.

Dating 2007 and released by Danbury Mint, this darling one was obtained through the STLSTR auction this fall. STLSTR auction is another great source of Scottie collectibles. #10

The White Tree Fiasco

Mom wanted to do a white tree this year so our black Scottie ornaments would show up better. She first bought a full size flocked one from QVC. When she had Dad take it out of the box, white stuff was going everywhere and we were trying to eat it. She looked at him and said: “Well, this will never do!” or words to that effect if you know what I mean. Her next attempt was a small white tabletop tree. It was plastic, cheap and looked it but she decided to make do.

By the time she used ribbon, picks, sparkles and bows to fill it in, she decided it would look nice with our white and red painted Christmas balls.

This has always been one of Mom’s faves no matter the tree.

These ornaments were all purchased from ebay over the last few years.

Who doesn’t love snowmen and Scotties?

The table where the tree sits is Sister’s window spot. Mom said it is a disaster waiting to happen. So next year it is destined to be porch tree minus the ornaments, of course. She has already located a shiny red tub to put it in. For this year though, we are enjoying the extra cheer. Hoping your holidays are shiny and bright too. ~ Indy and Lucy

This is not a new ornament for 2015 but a precious one posted in honor of our friend Stuart’s crossing of the Rainbow Bridge. It was originally purchased in memory of First Scottie, Sophie but we thought we would share it with Stuart.

This is such a happy shiny ornament for the Christmas tree. It can be found at Campbell’s Scottish Terriers online.

We received this as a gift from Sally Fischel, Ruffian and Briar this week. Made by folding material, it is absolutely precious. Thanks again, Sally and to Leona Price of Saint Louis Scottish Terrier Rescue for making it.

Every tree need some glitz and while not a traditional Christmas color, Mom loves it. The place ebay, buy some and share with friends. We did.

The Wheatie boy that Mom longs to have is found on our tree. *kiss* Henry. Needle felted, super cute, Etsy…

Little silver boy found on ebay, isn’t he darling? Don’t go away. There will be more plus some oldies but goodies before we finish. Hope you had some fun. ~ Indy and Lucy

New ornaments 2015

The Parade of Ornaments was off

to an early start this year. #1, the number means nothing except it was first listed, came from a card shop on Etsy filled with nostalgic holiday items, cherrysjubileecards. Mom loves handmade.

She also loves Scotties and crescent moons. #2 is available on ebay in different colors. Google Scottie Christmas ornaments. 🙂

#3 also found on ebay…who doesn’t love a bobblehead? 🙂

Mary Engelbreit (online) had several new ornaments with a beach theme this year. Hailing in at #4, this is one of several.

#5 is a gift from our friends Patricia Bonnel and Sir Achille. It is one a trio, painted by Manna Nelson, which include one for Lucy and the first Scottie, Sophie too.

This precious one is from Barbra Brandt. The Scotties look like Indy and Lucy; don’t you think?

This is Santa’s Senior Moment…he has lost his sleigh and Scottie is helping him look. #7, Mom identifies. BOL.

This cute ice skating Scottie came from our Kansas pals, Gordon and Gillis and their pawrents, Mary and Larry Lauber. #8

Here are Indy and Lucy again at #9. Handmade clay ornaments from an Etsy shop and a gift from Lulu Belle, her mom Judy and the rest of the Mudgett clan.

#10 was purchased at Seasonal Concepts and #11 was found online at Campbell’s Scottish terriers. Mom says it is always a go to place for Scottie ornaments and other good Scottie things as well.
