@mousiegirl  Very pretty.  I love cardinals.  But you're going to have to include some of the vibrant yellow cardinals that have been spotted down here in the south...

@Azcowgirl Thank you.   The candles are Candle Impressions bought this year here.  The tree came that way from zulily, with white lights, beautiful at night.  I found the plaid clips at zulily, the plaid cardinals, at amazon, there are more not on the tree, and recently found the partially plaid butterflies, only put one at the bottom of the tree to see how it would look next year.   Of course, you noticed Jim Shore, and the plaid house at amazon.

The darling little angels I bought decades ago, never used them, but found them on a closet shelf and decided to look at them, love them, so will use them from now on. The tall angel next to them at zulily, etc.

I buy most of my decor at zulily and here, but I buy all over when I can't find it here or at zulily, I go to ebay, amazon, Factory Direct for florals, etc., but get most of my florals at zulily.

I have some gorgeous faux poinsettias in two tall red mercury glass hurricane's, Valerie's, with lit red branches in the center, Bethlehem Lights, here, last year, but they didn't look good in the picture, so didn't post them.

@KatieB  Wow, think I saw an earlier post of yours about them.  Is that a real duck or goose?We have no colorful birds here in California except the scrub jays.

I don't know if the goose is real or not.  This picture is from an article I was reading from Southern Living magazine.  It was about the newly discovered yellow cardinal.  One spotted in AL and later another one in GA...  I have red cardinals and blue birds all the time at my bird feeders (in NC).  Woodpeckers also.  They're really colorful, esp. the red bellied ones that I have.

Well, these have to be my favorites of your decorations. I love, love cardinals. Most of my Christmas dish sets have cardinals on them. I especially like the arrangement with the angels, but I love the red tree also.

Very pretty.  You have a knack for putting different pieces and styles together and making it work.  I did not get that decorating "gene", LOL.
