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!!
I don't know....they look pretty suspicious to me!! (Cute too!)
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! I love the history behind everyone's decorations.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I just picked one up the other day! :) :) xo HOlly
ReplyDeleteOh 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!
