Merry Christmas!

May you have a blessed and very Merry Christmas!

I often get asked where did my love of vintage come from? So, I went through my baby photo album and decided to show you.

We had an aluminum tree for years until my brothers and I begged our mom to let us get a green tree since everyone else had one. She did. I'm still wishing we had not gotten rid of that tree. So you see, vintage has been with me since I was born.

The joy that comes over me every year as I dig out my vintage collection to decorate my home fills my heart.

I have really pared down my collection over the years but still have lots to decorate with.

I originally had this bottom painting at the Carriage House but pulled it to keep. I just wasn't ready to part with it yet.

I love this sequin banner I found this year. Another thing I'm not ready to part with.

I like to mix vintage with new.

Love these Santa's!!!!!

Such a super cute ladies head vase.

My friend gifted me with this stand. She knows me well! She knew I would love it.

My vintage corsage collection grew by only a few this year. This is only one of four milk glass cake stands that hold them.

I missed the smell of a real tree so we went back to one this year.

My real tree is decorated with newer ornaments, vintage inspired, crafted ones, some from vacations and ones my kids made.

My three aluminum trees are decorated by theme. Santa, breakable ornaments and figure ornaments.

Love that sequin tree skirt!

I've spent the day getting the house ready for Christmas. I made the centerpiece from a thrifted wreath and mason jars that I covered with glittered snowflakes and filled with fake branches. I'll be giving the mason jar vases as gifts to our friends and family that come over. They were fun to make. This is the first year that I didn't use a vintage tablecloth. I bought this one from TJMaxx.
