i really like the linen Christmas trees!

Dec. 5, 2008 at 1:51 p.m. rosetung

well, i voted but just wanna reiterate how much i love LOVE the mistletoe and the angel.
i would totally hang that mistletoe year round and see how many kisses i could score.
and that angel is the sweeeetest angel i've ever seen. i got a nostalgic thing for xmas tree angels. thats the only one i've ever seen that might be able to fill the shoes of the one that left a hole in my heart.

Congratulations to everyone that was selected! I had never even heard of the House of Mouse... he is cute. It is sure to bring impending stardom!!

Dec. 5, 2008 at 2:06 p.m. Thinkoutsidethebox

Big congrats to haru...the wreath is not only beautiful to look at but you have to be happy with decor that is so eco friendly and recyled/recyclable/repurposed!! Thehouseofmouse always has such adorable and unique variations on her mice that it is no surprise to me that they are right up there in the voting. My biggest excitement though had to come from Handworknaturals hig vote getting for her adorable Klondike peeps! Admittedly my favorite but also a bit biased because of the needle felting and she's a great member of etsy's NFEST team!!!

I love iomiss. I want so many of her things. Thanks for showcasing her work, she is a real find.

Oh my goodness!! I didn't know my little Snowfolk was listed! Thanks for putting him in the selection - I wish I'd known so I could have gotten him a few votes. :)

Dec. 5, 2008 at 2:17 p.m. backwoodsophisticate

So many fabulous choices. This time I agreed with the majority, I picked the paper wreath as my favorite.

Dec. 5, 2008 at 2:40 p.m. amiehartmandesigns

Oh, such great work! I especially love the wreath!

Dec. 5, 2008 at 2:56 p.m. 4TheSparrowsNest

The winning wreath is quite creative...this would also be a great way to display old christmas cards...you could scallop the edges with neat scissors and then roll them up, and glue them onto a wreath form. Nice work everyone!

Dec. 5, 2008 at 3:03 p.m. CarryTheWord

Lovely things, that mouse is adorable!

Dec. 5, 2008 at 3:54 p.m. beautifulbridget

If I would have attempted that wreath it would have looked like a third grader made it..
Looks simple but it had to have taken a lot of talent to make it!
