Come on in...whatever you need to decorate for Christmas is here...
and it goes on forever...
This is probably the hugest selection of Christmas decor/ornaments I've seen in one place.
I'm gonna hush up and just let you gawk like I did...
The owner, Jerri, told me if you see a tree you like, they will take it down and deliver the WHOLE thing right to your house for you. I think that even includes completely reassembling it at your home!
Everywhere you look, high and low, there is something to see...
This looks like a nature/woodsy section...
If you have an old sled...here's a cute idea...
This may have been one of several "upside" down Christmas trees. I'm not a huge fan of those...but to each his own.
I'm not sure how this looks online, but in person it is like being in a fantasy land!
Do you collect Dept. 56?
Photos just don't do it justice...wish you could see it in person.
If you live in the Metro Atlanta area and would like to see this fantasy land for yourself, click HERE for their website and directions. This Christmas wonderland will not close down after the holidays...it will be open all year long.

Oh, my gosh! And we know you couldn't have come out of that place without buying something. We'll be waiting for the unveiling! That is the largest selection I've ever seen too. Almost hurts your eyes to look at all the pics, there's so much to see! Thanks for sharing this with your followers.
Oh my goodness. It would be worth the two hour drive to see this place in person. It's amazing!!
Rhonda
Oh Wow, that is amazing. We are going over to Atlanta to do an IKEA run soon. I will definitely have to check out this place.
It has to be fun to have amazing places like this to shop! Love small town living but shopping there's not!
Oh my - I would a new theme for my tree every year if I lived near that store. It looks amazing and the set up is tdf! I would have been there all day!
This is more Christmas abundance than I've ever seen in my entire life. Beyond saying that much, I think (no, I'm sure) I'm speechless. Thanks for all the photos.

Oooh - I'm in love with that pink ball wreath. Really gets you in the Christmas spirit seeing all the decor.
Wow, Susan this looks like Santa's workshop! I could spend hours in there..just beautiful! (The winner will be chosen for my GIVE A WAY on Monday!)...Julie :D
Whoa.
I've lived in ATL almost 14 years and I SWEAR this is the first year I've heard of this place. Must go check it out. I love Christmas trees but honestly, I do not like decorating them. Or taking them down. Beautiful photos.
Om Gosh Susan this is incredible, I have been to the San Francisco Flower Mart for the holidays and there is nothing under one roof like this, maybe under 4or 5 roofs but not in one building. Talk about over stimulation I would have gone bonkers in there how fun for you, did you get any goodies, please share! Hugs kathysue
I think I just fainted.....
Wow! So much eye candy! I have no clue what I will be doing this year - to much other "stuff" going on at the same time. Always enjoy your posts.
Your photos DO show just how unbelievably beautiful it all is! I love the words Fantasy Land to describe it, too! I'm sure my Atlanta relatives know about this store, but I'm going to send them the site info anyway! Thanks for always sharing such awesome information and photos!
Hi Susan, thanks for the photo visit of this amazing store. I think it would put me into over load. Too many choices and I shut down. LOL
Hi Kathysue,
I didn't buy anything in the Christmas section, though I was really tempted by a lot of the hunt themed ornaments/decor. I did find four really pretty cranberry, iced beverage glasses in the antique shop, though...can never pass up beautiful stemware. :-)
Susan
Susan, that is the most fantastic dispay of Christmas decorations I have ever seen. My friends and I have shopped all over southern and central California and nothing compares. You are so lucky to have that place near by. Did you purchase anything or was it just too overwhelming. All I can say is OH MY!!
It looks like Fantasy Land!!! What fun! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing another great place to shop. I was totally amazed to look at your pictures showing the selection of Christmas decorations at this one store. I am shocked at the amount of unique items that are displayed. I know that you must have enjoyed every minute shopping there.
Katherine S.
BEAUTIFUL! It would take hours to see all the beauty around me...
Jane (Artfully Graced)
Unbelievable!! Your music is so appropriate for this post, too. :)
D
Well that is just unbelievable!
Were you at all overwhelmed? Sometimes when I go into shopping fantasies such as this...ex. Pikes Market here in Seattle...I tend to get overwhelmed and loose sight of what I might need or even want to buy. Can't wait to see what you selected!
What a spark for the imagination! My eyes just flitted from one spot to the next, trying to take it all in. Its like a crack-candyland for those who love to decorate. LOL
Thanks for taking such wonderful pictures to share with us, Susan, since I won't be near Atlanta till Feb. of next year.
fondly,
Rett
Well THAT would be cheaper than a trip to DisneyLand and just as glittery. How long did it take for the store to put up the display, I wonder? No wonder they're leaving it up all year. To be honest, I had a 'Christmas overload'. I would need some deep breaths before I ventured in too far, but thanks for the photos. Amazing. I can gaze from a safe distance! xx
Fun, Fun and more Fun!!!

Your pictures are wonderful, felt like I was there. I could spend hours in there.
There is a place similar to this shop in Calabash, NC, which is about 6 miles from where I live.
It's called Callahans. There Christmas section stays up all year but starting in November it comes alive.
Aren't we lucky to have such fantastic places to view Christmas??
Susan-I am beginning to hyperventilate in Hobby Lobby, so I am quite sure I would never make it out of here. Sometimes I think it would be fun to have someone just do all the decorating, but I know I couldn't. Id never be able to stay out of it!
Oh my gosh, I don't think that I would know where to begin! Maybe its one of those places that you need to check out a section at a time, so that you can absorb it all.
Did you buy anything?
Oh my god.....I don't think I have ever seen anything as wonderful as this. Just wish I lived a bit closer.
Suzy
Wow! I could spend an afternoon there.
Carolyn
Wow! Looks like if you can't find what you are looking for there, you won't be able to find it anywhere. What fun it would be to spend the afternoon wandering around. It would most definitley get you into the holiday spirit.
Very pretty! My post for Met Monday is also on Christmas decorations. I had the same problem with my photos. The far away shots that took in a whole tree or an entire area of the shop lost some of the beauty. The close ups turned out better and you could see the details, just not the overall effect. This shop is lovely; I hope you photographed some antiques for a future post. Did you find anything for your library?
If this store was a fantasy land for you, your blog is a fantasy land for me. It's so rich in beautiful details I could get lost in it for days.
Thank you for that early Christmas fix. It will be here before we know it.
Wow! That store is insane!
Garland and baubles and wreaths...oh my! ha!
What an amazing store. Almost as fabulous as Bonnie's dishroom!
Thank you for another eye popping tour!
xoxo
Tina
wow that is overwhelming. I think if I didn't have a list I would leave with everything or nothing. too bad we don't live in GA anymore.
What an amazing place! If that doesn't get a person in a holiday mood, I don't know what will! Did you buy anything?
Hugs,
Penny
Susan, long time no see!! I recently underwent extensive surgery to fight breast cancer (I won!) and haven't been around my favorite blogs in quite a while. I am starting to get reaquainted with my faves.
I would have been totally overwhelmed in that store. Your pictures helped me sort out the store a bit. I am eager to see your holiday decorating! As you might suspect, I am way behind there too!

This is great. You would love Taipan Trading Company if the Salt Lake area. Pure heaven!
This is fabulous, Susan. Sort of like Evergreen at the lake only on a much larger scale.
We are headed to SW Missouri, where there are several year round Christmas stores. Even though I visit them just about every year, I will again. Wonderful, fun, fantasy shopping!
Have a wonderful week!
Wish we could have been there with you!!!
I just died and went to Christmas heaven!!! How beautiful !! The pics are divine !!!!
Oh my goodness! I would have to leave my checkbook in the car. I'm using an odd color combination on my tree this year and having trouble finding what I want. I see lots of it in your pictures. Hmm...it is only about an 8 hour drive!
Sue
Holy Christmas Batman! I wish I could start decorating for it now, but Thanksgiving dinner is at my house, so better enjoy that holiday first!
LOVELY store...wow, looks like a gal could spend HOURS in there...thanks for sharing!!
This is just mind boggling. I can't even imagine. What an unreal place. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty
Wow! What a truly amazing place to shop and get ideas! You were truly in a Christmas Wonderland...wish I lived closer to Atlanta! Thanks for sharing this wonderful place. Miss Bloomers
I am crossing the border tomorrow with some friends to go to a similar store in Washington State.
I am giddy with anticipation. GIDDY I TELL YOU.
What fabulous stores these are.
OMGosh...it's so so so BREATH-Taking! wow
I have a sled just like that... What a great idea!!
What a magnificent store.
Well, that sure beats the heck out of my haunt, The Christmas Tree Shops..
What a fun way to spend a few hours!
Thanks for taking us with you, Susan...
It is definitely a good thing for my bank account that this store is across the country from me!!
How fun it would be to spend some time exploring. Thank you for sharing.
Dearest Susan,
OMyGoodness
OMG
OMG
This is a winter wonderland all year through!
That's a sweet spot on the planet.
God richly bless you and may you have a wonderful Thxgivin',

Oh, FUN...falalalalalalalala!

Hang on while I wipe the drool from my keyboard.......
*hugs*deb
You are one lucky girl to have such a great shop so close!! We don't have anything like that here! Thanks for sharing; there are so many great ideas!!
LOVE your cute sled depicting our wonderful Snowman - who would not love this on their front porch to greet each guest?
It's like a wonderland! I love the large ornaments that are hanging above. This would be a bad place for me to go because I would probably hit the limit on my credit card!
Well, they ahve the lace where I workED (quit last week), beat for sure!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing. WE would sell a complete tree as well. Thanks for sharing this, I am going to try to get there next time we go to Fl.!!!! XO, Pinky
What a nice place and a blessing ( or curse) to have it so close... Thanks for sharing!
Stop the world! I NEED to go to this store!

Wow, wow, wow! That is almost too much to take it. What a fabulous place!!!
Christi @ A Southern Life
amazing!! I wish the pics had enlarged when clicked on , but alas they don't! Nice job giving us a taste of it all!
This must be where Santa get his ideas!!!
m ^..^
HI Susan! Wow what a feast for the eyes. The pictures are so beautiful I can't even imagine what it must have been like up close! I loved the creams, the shiny, glittery decorations. All of them prettier than I've ever seen. Thanks for the wonderful tour!
Blessings,
Debbie
PS...Yes I too wondered, did you pick up any treasures? hmmmm
That made my head spin. I want 1 hour plus an unlimited budget to shop for my Christmas decorations...no wait, maybe a whole day [or two]. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! what an amazing store.....thanks for sharing....Pat H
This sure looks like a fantasy land to me too, Susan, and I can imagine how magical it looks in person.I don't like upside down Xmas trees either....Christine
That is gorgeous. I love Christmas--it's my birthday on top of it.
Cheri
I don't think I can go there, I'm having problems breathing now!Thanks so much for showing, I have to back and look again.
Sandy
You are RIGHT...it IS a fantasyland. I wish I were closer to Atlanta. I would have been gawking ALL Day! Your pictures are wonderful...thanks for taking us on your "trip". :)
oh my!
that was wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I'm all inspired to get going for Christmas now!!!
Sissie..I've been to Callahan's and you're right, they have a nice selection but nothing like this that Susan has shown us. You could spend many hours in Callahan's too. Have a friend that lives in Calabash and she took us there.
Oh my! Good thing I am not there to see it all. I know I would be unable to resist. I am trying to be like everyone else and reinvent what I already have.
If I come up with something decent, I'll post about it on your mister linky.
Wow! Amazing picks! Wish it were close enough for me to visit but Alas..Uk is just too far!!
Thanks for sharing hun x

Spectacular. This is a place I could love!!!
I love Lisa's leaf Christmas ornaments and would love to have one on my tree. Sue Gray, Dothan, AL.
sueg0314@sepapparel.com
OMG.... You could spend DAYS in there! (sigh)
Bonnie
It's Monday and this is where I'll be found. Thanks Susan for the giveaway.
Susan I just love the freshwater pearl earrings and the 2009 leaf ornament. Her prices are so reasonable. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Now that is a lot of Christmas decor! What did you come home with? Beautiful photos. You made me want to start getting my Christmas out, but I've never done that before Thanksgiving. laurie
Holy Moly....I think this is HEAVEN!!!
