Season's Treatings

Not only do I love cupcakes, but I love Hallmark ornaments.  I've bought one every year since I got married 22 years ago that commemorates something big from that year.  I never planned to buy any series ornaments, but when my baby due in January was born in December, the ornament I originally bought for that year turned into my first series (Noelville).  Then they had doors from around the world, so I bought that for my husband.  The cupcakes ornaments through the year that I shared in an earlier post, I just bought for myself (Hooked on Ornaments is one of my favorite online stores).  I bought a mini-tree a couple of years ago that was created by the designer of Season's Treatings, Sharon Visker.  I love this series, but I have not collected it.  I decided to "collect" the photos from it here, because I love eye candy too!

A new Sweet Santa by Terri Steiger, was made in 2020 decorating a gingerbread man, and I had to add him because he's just too cute.

This Gingerbread Surprise (surprise if you get the mini gingerbread man, or mini snowman with it) was designed by yet another artist, Tammy Haddix in 2020, but I imagine the Santa above decorating them!

This is actually the companion ornament to the Santa decorating the gingerbread man above, a gingerbread carousel!
