Nutcrackers

 Do you have any holiday obsessions?

Nutcrackers are my holiday obsession.  I put these on the fireplace mantel in Ridgefield before leaving Connecticut Sunday evening.  The big one in the middle and the small one on the right end are special.  They were Christmas gifts that the granddaughters painted for me.


When I was back in Naples on Monday I put these on a table by the front door.  Except for my granddaughers' hand-painted ones, the nutcrackers in Naples and Ridgefield are all 11 inch hand-made products from Erzebirge, the Ore Mountains of Germany.
