Between Naps on the Porch: No Such Thing...

No Such Thing...

Some people believe in elves!

Have you ever heard of such a ridiculous idea?!

I mean, everyone knows there is no such thing as an elf!

But, if there was such a thing as an elf...

They would certainly never be caught baking.

What a silly, silly idea....

Elves baking, indeed!

Next thing you know, someone will say they make gingerbread houses!

Yep...definitely no such thing as elves!

I love this display, Susan. This is very cute and what a great piece to decorate your kitchen with!

Or croissants. :) Really cute display.
At Tuesday, December 01, 2009 , Sewconsult said...: Cute! Yes, I believe. There are also elves who help the shoemakers. They are first cousins to the Brownies. My mother always wondered, aloud, if a Brownie would come to visit. That was her little hint for me to do some unasked task when I was of Brownie Scout age. I could use a group of brownies about now.

At Tuesday, December 01, 2009 , Kathleen said...: Send those elves over here, I could use some help!!
Very cute Susan...I wonder how they lift those huge loaves of bread..I bet they are magically delicious...oh, those are Leprechauns! :)
At Tuesday, December 01, 2009 , Martha said...: What a cute decoration for your kitchen. It would be PERFECT for daughter Sarah (one of her majors is baking science) -- love the elves. When Sarah was in quality control for Lucky Charms, we said that her job was to make Lucky Charms magically delicious!

A great Christmas piece!
At Tuesday, December 01, 2009 , Suzanne said...: So cute but it would never work in my kitchen. My hubby would totally eat my display!
At Tuesday, December 01, 2009 , Love the Decor! said...: I love this display and yes virginia there is/are christmas elves :)
At Tuesday, December 01, 2009 , The Stylish House said...: Susan,
Wish those elves could visit my house. It would be great to wake up to a clean house and fresh baked bread!

At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Lynne (lynnesgiftsfromtheheart) said...: Susan, this is just too cute for words. A few years ago when Mr. P was trucking we made a run to Ohio and drove right by the Keeblers home office. I was so disappointed there wasn't even a Keebler tree on the property. So, do some of us believe in elfs? Well, I guess I did at the time..lol. (I'm actually ready for Thursday! yippee!!) hugs ~lynne~
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Eileen said...: Adorable!

'Wish some elves would come clean up after my little elves (grandkids) make their gingerbread house!

Cute post!
And now I want a croissant! Bread bin is empty ~ darn!

All the best,
Eileen

At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Unknown said...: Oh you are making me want some bread!!!! And - who ever said elves can't bake????
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Loree said...: Oh what cute e lves. I am sure they exist somewhere in our imaginations :)
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Patti @ Pandoras Box said...: Quite entertaining! Photos are great and those elves better arrive on my doorstep to do some baking!
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Tammy518 said...: Cute post! I believe in elves (and fairies too)!
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Mid-Atlantic Martha said...: So cute! There's a "no such thing" on my table this week as well!
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Debra Howard said...: What a cute post. Oh how I wish I had little angels to do my baking. Be sure to enter my giveaway going on this week. Getting ready for a party after that I can't wait to sit down and just enjoy blogger land. I think I missed some of your posts this summer so I plan to sit with hot spiced tea and catch up. Mmmmmm dreamy.

At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Cottage Dreamers said...: I wouldn't mind to be one of those elves with all the yummy giant breads around!
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Ren said...: That is just too cute!
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Sarah said...: Do you think these little guys escaped from the Keebler Factory? These are too cute, and once again your creative ways have brought laughter to my morning. Susan, I can just imagine how much fun it was for your son when he was growing up. I bet he misses these whimsical moments from home.
Thanks for sharing this adorable vignette. ~ Sarah
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Beverly said...: Susan, this is an adorable post. And, I think those elves must have previously worked for Keebler.
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , My Grama's Soul said...: What a cut display - it made me very hungry! A feast for the eyes.

Cheers,

At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Angie said...: Tut tut tut - all these folk coming out and saying they DON'T BELIEVE IN ELVES? Why, that's like saying there's no such person as Santa Claus. How do they think Santa Claus would get through his workload if he didn't have elves to help him. Doesn't everyone know that baking bread and stuff is what they DO before the Christmas rush starts? Oh deary deary me. Well, I tell you this - just don't bother writing to Santa cos if you don't believe, he's not coming to your house!
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Cathy Miller said...: So adorable! I would have never thought of doing a display like this, but now, of course, I'll have to dash out and get some fake bread (I don't bake) and some elves and a little house for them...oh, Susan. My husband is going to want to speak to you again. I'm sorry I keep getting you in so much trouble with him. He's really harmless! LOL! Love, your favorite stalker.
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Carol at Serendipity said...: Your post just made me smile.

At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , It Worked For Me said...: What a happy little post on this gloomy grey day.
Now I'm inspired to bake... where are those elves hiding? ;-)
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Unknown said...: Cute pictures!!!
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Pinky said...: I sure wish there were decorating elves:):) And that they had been here the past 4 days to help me. Well, I have to admit, I DO have my own personal elf.....JOE! He is SUCH a big, wonderful help to me!!!! I am blessed! XO, Pinky
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Cottage Rose said...: Hi Susan; OH what a cute post... how did you sneak up on them to take a photo? How lucky you are to have then baking in your lovely kitchen... how cute they are,,,,, I do believe in them by the way,,,, wish they would stop by here...lol Have a great week

Hugs;

At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Gypsy Heart said...: If they don't bake, surely they clean! I would LOVE to have the elves come in and clean for me. :-)
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Connie said...: Hi Susan, Your little elves and their story is just so cute. I have to mention how nice, bright and clear your photo's are. You should write children's books !!!

Everyone's home is so colorful and lovely. My tv center is almost finished. I have my eye on a shelf to put above the tv. Might even jump in the car and go measure. Picky, picky, but I have to have the balance thing right.

Keep turning out such good work and I'll be back for a peek.
Have a nice week. Connie
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Sissie's Shabby Cottage said...: Yes, I believe there are elves because my husband and my son think that elves come and clean up the kitchen every evening after they go to bed. I wish.
Very cute post.
At Wednesday, December 02, 2009 , Beth@The Stories of A to Z said...: Your photography is beautiful and it makes me envious for a new camera. Perhaps instead of baking those elves could help me out by doing some factory camera work for me? No? Okay then, I'll settle for one of those yummy croissants.
At Thursday, December 03, 2009 , Linda in AZ * said...: * Toooooooo tooooo precious, Susan!!! (And gee, it's been I-don't-know-HOW-long since I've had cute lil' elves in MY kitchen!!!... (Maybe a fairy or two, but no elves!!!)~~~

I was AMAZED at your other posting, with the "city" going down the center of the table... saw it a few minutes ago, and once I picked my jaw up off the floor, KNEW it was TIME you write a book on this subject!!! (Instant stardom! Instant fame! Instant $$$! Instant GRATITUDE from many!!!)~~~

Big hugs,
Linda in AZ*
