Merry Christmas

I love Christmas because it has special feeling and I like to create that special feeling in my home with vintage finds, and mostly vintage inspired Christmas decorations. I like to display vintage Christmas ones around my home .I have some real pretty vintage Germany ones you'll see in another photo. These are early 1900's, the graphics and nostalgia are so pretty ~

PhotobucketAnd with these darling angels not to be forgotten, they all have had a repair but never the less , I love them , there darling little vintage faces.
PhotobucketI know I have shown you this before , but it's pretty to look at again .Just very bright and all vintage . I think If I make another it will be with more pale colors to fit in more with my palette .
PhotobucketMy favorite Christmas decorations are from Wendy
Addison and Nicole Sayre~ I love all there Christmas stuff, the little box is even cute on the inside, with vintage style sheet music and inside was a small vintage style mercury glass ornament, those are the little details that I just Love.
PhotobucketThis sweet old world style Santa I got at target last year , seemed to make a fit next to my huge stack of Rachel Ashwell books and my endless supply of all the magazines
we all love.
PhotobucketA sweet little mica flake covered cottage glows in the evening with the sweetest bottle brush trees and snow covered eave's. This makes a lovely addition to my vintage inspired collection, I just picked it up at a show I did with my friend Jenny, over the last two weeks this was my first show and I tell ya , it's has been a lot
of work

These poinsettias are really glittery , more than the picture shows, they just sparkle all the time ,and this is where I tucked
my sequined and now rhinestone embellished bird, I did have this clipped on to my chandelier because it really sparkled ,and I had removed it to clean my chandelier, when
I went to clip it back on ,I didn't clip it on right to keep it away from the bulb and about an hour later my daughter said she smelled smoke and sure enough my precious bird I spent a small fortune on was on fire, so therefore it now has a huge vintage rhinestone on it to cover up the burn hole.This happened about a week ago ,so now I have found a new home for it, perched on pretty blue poinsettias.

Lovely little vintagey Christmas goodies! I love the bird! He's HOT! LOL! Actually so lovely with the pearls. I couldn't see the rhinestones clearly on my screen. Maybe they were covered with a poinsettia leaf! Ah, well, all your pics are darling.
