We couldn't agree more and last week we received these from a very unexpected place — a small local thrift store, Lucky Dog.
Lucky Dog is within walking distance of our apartment. We visit often and showed photos of our "snowmen" display; seen here. Our "gift" included selected "snowman" items: drink stirrers, gift boxes, figurines, candle holders, and a card. We're thankful for all and some snowmen displayed the past two years will be donated.
BIG hint: never let folks know about a themed display or you too may be "gifted" with more of the same. Last year, neighbors and friends also gifted us with snowmen.
We might change the theme next year and not share with anyone.

had to laugh on the gifting thing. I bought several owls that I really loved and ever after everything I got was owl themed and most of it I did not like. same thing when I started collecting oil lamps. antique oil lamps, OLD ones... the gifts were not old, not antique and not something I wanted. Bob had to build shelves to hold 40 of them. when we moved I got rid of all but 5, and I still have them, and put out the word...
It just goes to show that goodness begets goodness.
I do like the displays!
Hi, wanted to pop over and wish you a very happy new year. hubs starts a new round of radiation again, this time pretty heavy doses over a shorter span of time. I really love visiting you guys and wishing you the very best in the upcoming year. Hugs, LJ
A bunch of cute things and helping a good cause. You can't beat that.
Aw, that was a sweet gift and gesture on their part.
What a wonderful place - and neat that it's so close to your home.
I had a couple of folk art angels and I was gifted with some rather cutesy angels after that - I've managed to stop that now.
The snowman display is so cute! I don't always feel that I have to put them away with the Christmas decorations- they're more a winter theme...
