santa and the tree skirt.....

ok, so somewhere in this house a 12-inch dressed santa and a creamy embroidered tree skirt are hidden from view......not in the marble-topped chest in the corner by the woodstove.....where they always spend their non-holiday hours.....nope....these dear treasures appear to have been put away elsewhere......or moved for some reason that made sense at the time.....the fire wouldn't have entered into this equation.....nor the yard sale......these aren't the sort of things i would have given away....maybe they have found a certain kinship with the book i still cannot find from last christmas......and are now hiding out as a trio......
