Merriest of Holidays!

 Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Some of my favorite Santa's hanging out in a wire basket. Can't get any more jolly!

Here's another recent Santa find....plus he's musical....

And a few more jolly ones....

Loved the reindeer too....

Even a smaller Santa is super jolly....

When wrapping a present, I always feel that the presentation is a gift in itself. I put a lot of thought into it. I always try to match the wrap to the person's interest. It's a good idea to keep ribbons, ornaments and other do dads on hand for this reason. Here's one of those presentations I really adored...

Recently, there was a contest from Rotary Press on Instagram for a vintage inspired fireplace. I'm so super excited to have won one!

It was fun creating this vignette with vintage Christmas that I had on hand.

Speaking of Instagram, here are the top 9 posts for me this year. What a year it was! 

Wishing you a safe, healthy, blessed New Year!

Happy treasure hunting!

Welcome December!

 Welcome December!

My favorite holiday is quickly approaching so I wanted to take this time to show you my home.  I have really paired down my vintage Christmas collection but I did add some things this year. How could I not? I hope you enjoy my home tour....

Here's that elf bed that I told you about in my last post. I had sooooo many more pixies then I thought! Surprise surprise!

Here's another fireplace photo....

And some of my favorite Santa's in a basket....

Here's why I think these Santa's are so great!

Look at those faces!

You never know when Santa is watching you....I'm a sucker for these Santa faces.

That super cool hat form is a melding of pieces and I found it at Loot Vintage and Supply in WI.  I fell in love with it!

I did add to my vintage corsage collection. I purchased a few and I received a few as a gift from the wonderful owners of the Carriage House where I sell.

I love this picture of my side table.

My friend made this snowman picture. Isn't it darling?

 One of my themed tinsel trees...

Here's another....

And another.

A darling vignette....

And another paired with one of my ironstone pitchers. Everything looks good when paired with ironstone.

Last year I bought KFC chicken to get their vintage themed bucket. The manager was so nice and gave me a clean bucket to keep. Santa fits right at home in it.

Here's another darling vignette with some of the cars that I make every year....

A few new additions this year are on this buffet. 

Here's that beautiful print I showed you in my last post.

I usually fill up my bookcase without taking out the books.  As you can tell, I love Santa's!

These are two new additions to my collection of Santa's. I found them this week at the Roscoe Woodstock Antique Mall in Woodstock IL.  Some more cute faces!

My main tree in the house is filled with newer ornaments, vacation ornaments, crafted ornaments and ornaments that my kids made. It's my memory tree.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas with many happy memories!

Happy treasure hunting....
