Welcome to our December version of
Tales of the Traveling Totes where we
MacKenzie-Childs loving women bring
you along to the many places our totes
travel with us.
Today Miss Madi K and I headed north to
visit the elves at
Gardner Village for Christmas in the Village.
Here we found lots of Santa's helpers at work.
We also found plenty of his helpers
just goofing around.
It was a cold but sunny day, a good day
for catching a sighting of the many elves.
This little one and her helper baking
gingerbread cookies was one of my favorites.
We also fell in love with this little guy up
on the ski lift.
Gardner Village is a quaint shopping and eating
experience centered on the Old Gardner Mill.
Historic homes and cabins have been moved
to the site and they house retail shops.
It is fun to just walk around the property, cross
a couple of wooden bridges and be on the
hunt for elves everywhere. We enjoyed the magic
of Christmas in the Village.
We brought our own little Christmas helpers along.
My daughter was on the hunt for
Dept. 56 North Pole Village pieces. Alas,
the shop that used to carry them is no longer
in business at Gardner Village. We did a quick
search on the internet and we quickly
headed to another store and found plenty of
North Pole Elf Houses.
Haw's Floral is a magical spot that we had never
visited before and
Miss Madi K and I were especially drawn to
this fabulous table and display.
Even though the store was no longer in business,
we had fun seeing all of the elves, and we now
have a fabulous new Christmas store to enjoy.
You don't even have to leave home to have some
fun, just visit Sarah and Miss Merri Mac
and leave a comment to win these fun
MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check party
plates, napkins and straws.
Also visit the rest of our tote traveling group to see where they have been off to lately.
