My mom was an antique dealer and has been a collector of antiques her whole adult life. So one of her passions is elves. Especially the old antique ones. Part of this is because she remembers them from when she was a kid and got them as gifts.

So here are pictures of her elves. There are also a few of her Christmas decorating. She also has a dozen or so more she didn't put out this year.

The elves stole the pictures.

Those elves are sooo adorable. And it's nice to see someone else with a forest of Christmas trees.

Ok that was all the elves in the kitchen now here are her elves ih the china cabinet in the living room. These are Santas and elves mixed together. The smaller ones to the front of each shelf are mostly elves. They are the older antique ones. The pine cones were from Germany and were made in the 30s and 40s. We just got about 5 more from ebay last week. I think I got my non techical won't touch a computer Mom hooked on Ebay! LOL She had so much fun with the auctions.

What a fun collection!! I bet those babies just love them! I saw a couple of green ones like I have had since 1959, got them from a bottle of dish detergent. Still put them out every year.

I love them. The jolly old elves are great addition to the little ones. And your GGkids are sooooo cute :!:

Most years she has a forest on the porch. She has trees up to 5 ft that she usually groups on the porch. I didn't take a pic of the mantel over the fireplace because I was focusing on the elves. But she has a 7 ft beam above the mantel that is loaded with trees. She loves trees and especially bottle brush trees.
