(Antique) Elves on the Shelf



I can practically hear you.

She's gone insane.

Seventeen elves on the shelf?!?

It's hard enough to remember to move one.


Don't worry.

They may look like elves on a shelf.  

They are, in fact, elves sitting on a shelf.  

(Well, really a mantle, but who's keeping track?)


But these little guys didn't come from Target or Barnes & Noble.

Nor were they sent here by Santa to spy on my kids.

These elves came from my mother and father-in-law.

(Who had them on their tree(s) for decades.)


And when they downsized a few years ago, the elves needed a home.

So now they live with us.  

But they never get into mischief.  

(And that's okay with my girls.)

(And very okay with me.)

Whew!!

  2. I love that you have 17 elves all that have history. How wonderful they found a home with you. And, I agree with Danni, they look like they can be naughty...maybe only while you are sleeping

  5. Oh my goodness, lucky you! How fun to have all of those elves! They look adorable on your mantel too. I love how you have them posed. It's easy to imagine that they're just waiting for you to turn your back!
