I have posted many times before about my love of Japanese Christmas Cards.
So lucky that my family sends me fabulous ones.
DIL and Granddaughter just send me the Five Santas with the red noses
that blink off and on to the music.
KAWAII !
.............
Every Christmas I display just a few of the Christmas cards I have saved
over the years on my credenza .
I weave some very wee lights on thin copper wire around them.
No money spent and decorations that mean something to me.

DeleteI love Christmas cards too Gayle - they make Christmas complete for me when I hear from all my friends.
ReplyDeleteI love sending and getting Christmas Cards. They are gifts.
DeleteThey're all so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of the Square Ones....
I enjoy looking all of them every year
DeleteYou have some really fabulous cards! I got a wonderful Japanese one today, I hadn't realised they did specially good cards till I saw your post.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am in Japan the kids are alway saying... step away from the paper goods and all will be OK.
DeleteI always bring one suitcase home filled with all kinds of cards, paper calendars, notebooks and pens !
Fabulous cards! Awww look at their little faces
ReplyDeleteIt is so cute... dancing Santas.
DeleteI love the cards (and the doggies!)
ReplyDeleteBoth are very fun !
DeleteGreat cards and so fun. Love the counter space you have as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much !
DeleteThose are such beautiful cards! The Santas with red noses are really kawaii :-) They make very elaborate cards in Japan. I need to check out when I go to Japan next time. The Tako is very kawaii, too! I have Tako like that but it's much smaller (it's a key holder.) Love the photo of your square ones! They are the most kawaii :-)
ReplyDeleteSo true. I always seem to bring a suitcase filled with all sorts of paper goods.
DeleteI have a whole wall of keyrings and phone charms.
That red chew toy would be gone in mere seconds around here. Love the Santas but your artwork card with the two square ones is a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much it is a recurring theme.
DeleteI enjoy the way you have decorated without going to a lot of extra expense. The cards from Japan are lovely and those two black faces at the end are very expressive.
