Wanted to share my Christmas bear tree and a few new (and old) Starbucks bears. The bear with the fur hat and the puppy with the green scarf are new for the 2011 holiday season at Starbucks. All of the other bears pictured here are from past seasons. Hopefully someday I’ll get around to posting them all properly. Until then, here they are! 🙂 Happy Holidays! Click images to enlarge. 🙂
We have this thing on our fireplace that I got from Pottery Barn. So many people have this wall accessory that it is kind of embarrassing, but I still like it anyway. It is fun to change up the decorations for it during the different seasons. So, I decided my winter/holiday Bearista magnets would make perfect decorations for this! I put some red yarn in the bottom of the glasses with the bears. In the other glasses I put tissue Christmas paper, little balls of yarn and some gold ornament balls that we had. Then I made some little poofy yarn things to add to a few of the holders. I wanted to keep it kind of random. It looks pretty cute in person. It might be kind of hard to tell how cute it is from the photos. I am including one close up, so you can see the detail better. Click the photos to enlarge. 🙂
Well, I think this is probably the final update for the Bearista tree. I found some more bears to put on and I found some little red ornaments and I added ribbon and put them on the tree too! I’m pretty sure I won’t be adding anything more. I think the little red ornaments look pretty good though. I’m glad I went to the trouble of adding them. I’m not too sure they are very visible in the small photo though. Click the photo to enlarge. 🙂
Last year Starbucks really outdid themselves with this cute couple. Here are the plaid Santa boy and girl Bearistas. The boy is the 86th edition and the girl is the 87th edition of the Bearista series. The boy has plaid pants, a red santa coat, a big santa buckle belt and santa hat while the girl is dressed up in a satin red dress with a plaid santa coat and a red cap with a poinsetta flower attached. They both have the Bearista patch on their feet and their coats are almost military-esque with a hint of gold. The girl has eyelashes and rosy cheeks too! Click the photos to enlarge. 🙂
We decided to add some snowflakes, a tree skirt and the angel to the top of the Bearista Christmas tree. I think it looks just great! Yay! Click the photo to enlarge. It looks better bigger! 🙂
‘Tis the season to put your bears on the tree! 🙂 This year we decided to decorate the Christmas tree with the winter bears from my collection (plus a couple of Hello Kitty ornaments). It looks way cuter in person, but the photos give a peek. 🙂 Click the photos to enlarge. 🙂
