Poinsettias, Reindeer, & Suitcases (oh my!)

I love poinsettias!  My husband and I got married in December (our 17th anniversary is almost here!), and my wedding bouquet was evergreens and poinsettias.  I love them in all their variations…red, pink, white, variegated, and everything in between.  There is an amazing greenhouse not too far from us (J&J Nursery) that grows acres of poinsettias every year, and I happily spend an hour…or two… there each year choosing a few favorites to bring home with me.

This year, I bought poinsettias to dress up the suitcase wall (in red, pink, white, and variegated!)…

…they have to share space with my small collection of reindeer (since I sold the bookshelves that were there home last year!)

The gold reindeer is this year’s addition to the collection—I found him at Tai-Pan Trading.

But mostly I don’t even remember where they came from anymore!

A few glittery birds perch on the suitcases as well.  I am a sucker for fat birds!

Here’s hoping I can keep my beautiful poinsettias alive all the way through January!
