Vintage Christmas (More)

Was getting out my Christmas ornaments and ran across these. Such good memories. The Santa Mouse was given to me as a child, not sure by whom. That makes it about 45 years old. (uggh, that makes me feel old!) The Santa candy dish was my dear grandmothers (Nanna).

Vintage & Handmade Christmas

I have several stockpiled containers of dried flowers that I gathered over the spring and summer. I make potpourri out of them and throroughly enjoy it. Used some of my hydrangeas from late summer and some Nandina berries and pine cones from a Hemlock tree to make these ornaments.

These ornaments, along with my potpourri, is available on my Etsy shop at:

A sweet lady gave me this window back in the summer.

I finally got around to doing something with it. Only problem is, of course, now I want to keep it!

Christmas

 

I am thrilled the 'vintage' look is in style. I find myself being drawn to the romantic, Shabby Chic  style of vintage decor (which is weird, because I'm definitely not a 'girly' girl.?.?  Next favorite would be a primitive look, but I really like the retro stuff too. And, who doesn't like a little something new everyonce in a while????

one o my absolute favorite things to do is mix it all up and make it look good!! :)
