Christmas Ornaments by Midwest Maude

Can you believe this Thursday is December 1st? Start the Christmas countdown! If you are looking for whimsical gift ideas, look no further! I just bought two lovely, handmade ornaments from "Midwest Maude". 


A COLORFUL, wooden Matryoshka doll:

AND A WISE, bejeweled owl:

Aren't they precious?! They were made by Karen Serrie (also known as Midwest Maude). Karen also has seahorses, mushrooms and peacock ornaments available in her etsy shop. It took everything I had not to purchase those, too! LOL. I am on a budget, you know.
