Even there, they are harder to find. :)<br /><br />Debra - I'm working on it Debra!<br /><br />Naturegirl - Merry Christmas to you and thanks for visiting! <br /><br />Deb - Yes, if the sets are complete, dealers will not break them up. People often had their manicure monogramed. What are you giving Broccoli for Christmas? :)<br /><br />kjquilts - Thanks!

He is out of town so I probably won't do the tree until he gets home. :)<br /><br />Debby - the tiny ones were used for baby clothes, collar buttons, and gloves; I love them. The garland was easy and gave me something to do while watching television.<br /><br />Jen - Oh, yes...a long time. We bought our first one on our honeymoon for $8 and were "hooked!" <br /><br />Angie - Thanks! Fee carved the Santas and there are many more. It always take me a long time to decide how and where to arrange them.<br /><br />Kay - I'm liking the garland, too. I'd seen all kinds of banners/garlands this year and then saw several neat Christmassy ones, and yo-yo's are so easy!<br /><br />ACey - I tried earlier to comment on the comments and it wouldn't work.
