Each year, I add a few ornaments to my growing collection. I try to be selective because I tend to get them as gifts and because I already have quite a stash. But I just couldn’t help myself. This little santa is from this year’s Crate & Barrel selection.

This Crate & Barrel ball ornament is made of metal with snowflake cutouts. The flash made this shot a little funny but it’s a nice shiny metallic color.

Last in the Crate & Barrel purchases is a gold leaf ornament with acorn dangle.

During my holiday shopping, I came across this sightseeing/traveling deer at HomeGoods (my new favorite store). I toyed with giving this as a gift, but it never left my house!

My last purchase of the year is the Starbucks holiday hot coffee cup ornament. I couldn’t resist! Next year, I may invest in the cold coffee ornament too!

Now for gift ornaments: Mom found this Betty Boop holiday ornament. When I had Betty, my Toyota Camry, she had a Boop theme to her.

Last, but not least, is a little fishy ornament I got from my friend Corinne. It’s hand stitched and crafty looking, which is why she got it for me.

Well that’s it for 2009′s Christmas ornaments.

Happy New Year! Goodbye 2009, hello 2010! “You say goodbye, and I say hello. Hello, hello!”

My cousins in Japan sent me this little cutey in honor of the year of the tiger. It is so cute and will find a home on my tchotchke shelf.
