Christmas Spaces

I am a hairdresser in A fabulous salon that I have been able to work in for 12 years now, out of my 21.
Until recently, My husband whom I met in Beauty School,
worked there with me. He now has started his Nursing assistance Program locally and takes his State Board This Saturday!! ooouu!!!




Back to the salon....

We always decorated the Work Spaces kinda naturally so..greens some lights and a few ornaments. And he has a large Nut cracker collection being a percussionist for The Military Band At Fort Vancouver, he likes the military "drumming" Nutcrackers.
We shared a station until last Monday....Today, I got creative on my Greens and a few CHOICE ornaments!!! Like Em??



Which one is YOUR favorite??

Can you Guess WHICH is my favorite??


It was Very different to decorate WITHOUT My man there...specially with an Equine theme, today. He may have warned me, "now that's a bit over the top " or something..
I miss his presence really, having worked together these past 17 years.(5 at previous salon)


































Well, for now, there is one special decoration that will keep true to our past theme... I will treasure it really and think of my sweet!

Hmmm. Hairdresser? I need a cut! :) Info. on the competitive trailriding can be found at: www.actha.us The Faq/Rules will tell you exactly what it entails. They probably have something similar where you live! My favorite ornament is the jumper of course! Sorry to hear about your friend no longer being there!

  11. I don't know about your favorite, but I love the framed sketch! I love the way you decorate. It's so festive! I don't know if we're going to decorate, I don't really want to associate Christmas with the whole baby thing, so we'll probably keep it low key this year.

  12. Sweet holiday space! I would have to say the cowgirl is my favorite one. I have many horsie ornaments....one of these years they are going to get their very own tree.

  15. Love the sidesaddle picture and the jumping horse!

    One year our riding club decorated a tree at the zoo with horses and horse-related ornaments for the annual Zoo Lights celebration. We had a blast.

  16. Oregon E,
    Hello again..glad to see you!

  17. Hi! My wrist is officially healed and practically back at full strength.
    It was 10-15 years ago when we decorated the tree at the zoo. I boarded my mare at a hunter-jumper barn in Beavercreek at the time. Their hunt club is ongoing with in-barn competitions and year-end awards.
    My gelding is boarded in the Canby area. Always seems colder there than in the burbs, and too far to drive on iffy roads. The horses are reportedly snug as bugs in their rugs today.

  18. Glad to hear you are good now OE!!

    Ya,warm here...just trying to keep the horses hydrated!

  19. Well, I like the boots best! Dunno why, except that maybe because it's so different! I also like the Sidesaddle Lady and the Cowgirl too. Where'd you find them all?

  20. Cool ornaments, Many of which I have never seen. Funny, I put mine up on my blog today. Needed something light.

    Merry Horsemans!
