Christmas Fantasyland



Every year H and I drive over to Holland Nursery in Lubbock Texas to visit their big Christmas open house.   We  haven't missed this event in over 30 years.  They decorate hundreds of trees and have all the ornaments on each tree available to purchase.
The Mark Roberts displays are always one of my favorites....
and their theme trees are just gorgeous!
I can't think of a theme they don't have!

I'm going to let you just scroll down and enjoy the pictures that I took....




























This was the cutest little animal that was on one of their nature trees...

Of course, they have cowboy trees....you're in Texas!

Lots of life size Santas....
Unicorn tree...

They have a HUGE Dept 56 section.....

and any ornament you could possibly want!

If you are ever in Lubbock Texas during the holidays, be sure to visit Holland's!

  10. Penny,
    LOVE this place and I can only imagine what great place it is in person! I hope to get to my favorite shop that shuts down for 2 weeks to decorate for Christmas. I have not been able to get there for 2 years so I am really going to try to make it there this year...

    Hugs,
    Deb

  12. Hi Penny,
    Man, it that doesn't get you in the mood to decorate nothing will!! I have a collection of Dept. 56 houses, New England Village, that I've collected for many years. My mother collected the Dicken's Village, and my sister the North Pole. Between us all I think we've spent a fortune over the years!! It's so pretty to see them all set up and glowing....but such a pain to put away!!
    Love that you shared the Fairyland! Thanks so much for coming by!
    Blessings,
    Doni

  15. I so miss these types of stores, Penny! The recession took a heavy toll on our gift shops and patio furnishing shops, so there are no Christmas wonderlands for us to go enjoy. Sigh... Thank you for sharing these beautiful scenes!
