The crows at HL do not have feathers. They are wood. You can't really see the base on Susan's pic but they are on a wood base as well. The ones I mentioned at Pottery Barn do have feathers and look more like a stuffed crow so you may not like those either. There is just something about the ones at HL I really loved when I saw SusanLouise's display. I only see 2 of the poses in Susan's arrangement but there is a third one that I found in the store.

I think I enjoyed myself a little to much last year at P1 as well. I ended up doing a second Xmas tree last year and did a woodland version with all of the P1 woodland ornaments. I also bought the P1 sitting and standing woodland reindeer last year which I keep by my fireplace.

Your 2nd Xmas tree sounds great MTH. Would love to see a picture of it. Bet you have all kinds of neat nature things on it. what fun that had to have been putting it all together. I remember those sitting and standing deer from last year.

Well, I got my JS Santa today that I was buying from a friend. It is so cute and don't think I had seen him before but guess I mostly look for Snowmen.

Tried to share the picture of it but the picture was so BIG I took it out. Just check it out here.

I will try to get a good pic of my tree this year when I get it set up. I'm sure by then I will have gotten even more ornaments.

I'm so glad you got your JS piece. That piece is absolutely adorable. I love the tree too. I don't think I have ever really looked at that piece and it is a stunner. Congrats.

Just got my musical Santa piece today too. It is really pretty and the music is nice. Wasn't sure how it would sound, but the sound quality is actually pretty good.

Was gonna try to get back over to HL today at lunch but didn't quite make it out of here. Maybe I can try on my way home tonight. They had a purple corduroy pumpkin I wanted. Should have picked it up the other day, but was so enamored with the crows, I forgot to go back and get it. Ha Ha.

Glad you got your musical Santa and are happy with it. I have found that the music on the ones I have are very clear and good quality.

Hope they still have the purple pumpkin at HL when you get back there tonight. My luck someone would be walking out the door with the last one when I was walking in.

That's my luck too these days but we'll see. Looks like the weather will be turning bad again this afternoon so maybe people will just stay home.

I hope you find a good spot for your new JS piece. I really love that one.

JPC: I stopped at my P1 on the way home tonight to see if they had the capiz pumpkins yet (which they did not) but wanted to tell you that they had already sold out of the owls. I couldn't believe it. I also stopped at HL and my purple corduroy pumpkin was gone too. It was a sad day. Guess I could order the capiz pumpkins online but I would love to actually see them. let me know if you get to your P1 this weekend and if you have a chance to see those pumpkins. Would love to know your thoughts on them in person.

Sorry you didn't get any of the things you wanted today MTH. that is a bummer. I think I am going to stop at P1 tomorrow sometime as I have to go get a quilt at my quilters so will be close to one so think it is time I stop and check things out. If I see the capiz pumpkins, I will let you know what I think.

You have to let me know about our pokey little puppy quilt. If you can take a pic that would be awesome. That was one of my favorite books growing up!!

Hey MTH,

I went to Pier 1 yesterday and checked out the capiz pumpkins. I wasn't really impressed with them, guess just not my thing. They seemed light weight and something about them didn't flip my switch. You might like them though. I did see a couple of glass ones that were orange with swirls (for a better word) running thru them and they had a black stem and were with the halloween items. Looked at them a couple of times but passed on them too since I don't need anymore pumpkins. I did pick up a couple of little owls that they had in their Xmas tree. Looked at the big owl but didn't know what I would do with him so passed on him too. So guess I got out of the store pretty cheap this time.

Picked up the pokey little puppy quilt yesterday and finished the binding on it today. Will take a picture and try to figure out photo bucket again and if I can, will share the picture of it. I have the book from when the kids were little.

Have a good week

Hi JPC: Thanks for checking out those P1 pumpkins. My store still doesn't have them. I'm glad I didn't order them off the website. I'll just wait and see if we end up getting any around here so I can take a look at them first. I was trying to find the orange one with the squiggly lines and the black stem you mentioned but I coulnd't find them on the website. The only ones I saw were the chevron ones but those are not glass. Too bad about the owl. I really like him. I stood him on top of another pumpkin I had so he's just perched up there watching everything going on. I think I have a few of their owl ornaments from last year. Oh well...guess we all got out cheaper this year. Just not much else to add to the collections.

I can't wait to see the quilt. Are you giving this to someone as a gift???
