center: very special beer holding, music playing off limits Nutcracker
When I was a little girl I performed in our local Nutcracker for many years so that is when my Nutcracker collection began and it has continued to grow over the years. The above picture of our mantel is just a fraction of my many nutcrackers. Maybe one day I can have a Nutcracker room in a bigger house but for now having them take over my mantel for the holidays is fine with me. Will also has a love for Nutcrackers he finds them fascinating and this year insisted on finding whole walnuts so he could try to crack them open... let's just say it didn't work so well. I do allow him to play with a few at a time but not my very special music box, beer holding nutcracker that my brother gave me for Christmas last year, that one is off limits.

Great collection! Hubby likes them too but I'm afraid he won't stop at just one--and we don't have the room to display them.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great collection :) I love Nutcrackers.
ReplyDeleteI love your nutcrackers. I was just talking to my mom yesterday about the fact that for next year I want to purchase a nice nutcracker. To answer your question, my main collection is Barbie Dolls. I love dolls, but Barbie dolls in particular. I just don't have a place right now for my entire collection.
