More Santas

My girlfriend actually thinks this Santa is scary looking but I adore him! He's a pink FTD Florist Santa from the 1960's, I believe.


The clock is ticking....won't be long til Santa appears!!

Christmas Past

I've still got this Bride Doll ~ she is placed in our bedroom near my wedding cupboard. Think this might be what started me on my addicition to wedding memorabilia?!?

Mother made my sweet Raggedy Ann stocking for me. I do wish she would find it ~ hint HINT!!

I still have the chalkware Santa that is sitting on the middle of the "fireplace" ledge.

I've got a small collection of plastic Christmas trees. This one is the perfect shade of green to go with my Santa Cookie Jar.

I love decorating with my antique mirrors. This one is especially fun to use during the holidays due to its awesome green colored glass edges.

One of my favorite cloth Santas ~ I think I fell in love with him because of the terrycloth bunny. I thought Amy of Bunny Rose Cottage would enjoy this picture!

This adorable large Santa was a birthday gift to me from my dear friend Bertie of Aunt May's Cottage last year. She made him with my favorite fabric ~ Laura Ashley Isabelle Pink ~ it matches the fabric that I've used to cover the back of my armoire!!

Bertie is a fantastic seamstress & I've got LOTS of her items all over my house. She also made the little blingy sachet bag in the above picture.

The lace, sequins, & embellishments are beyond belief!!

This picture of my granddaughter was taken several years ago next to our bedroom tree.

Becca, do you see your little white Santa next to my vintage pink bottle brush tree?!?

I have several pieces of Christmas jewelry that I love. This is a Jewelry John Nativity Bell necklace.

Anyone that knows me at all knows of my love of antique mirrors. I collect them & also sell them on eBay. Here are several of my favorites decorated with handpainted Christmas balls for the holidays.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

One of my fondest childhood memories was all the wonderful decorating my mother always did for us at Christmas time. I didn't know anyone else who had such a neat front door with Santa peeking out & waving!

Can't you just see how mesmerized I was by "all things Christmas" even back then?!?

Gee, I wish I still had those huge candles !

I'm still busily unpacking all my Christmas goodies ~ this is my child's Spode Christmas Tea Set. I used to love to pretend to have tea parties when I was little & Mother would let me pour water for hours until I spilled it all. Not to worry though, as she always placed a very absorbant bath towel under my tea tray!!


My Spode German Christmas Santa

I bought this sweet Santa doorstopper at a yard sale back a couple of years ago & am just now getting around to painting & glittering him up for the holidays.

VINTAGE PINK ORNAMENTS

VINTAGE PINK ORNAMENTS

I love vintage ornaments. Some day I'll have amassed enough to do my entire tree in nothing but vintage pieces. I recently bought these two little unusual beauties to add to my pink tree.

I love icicle shapes, stenciled vintage ornaments.....

Glittered, cracked & crazed & faded.....see the adorable little glass horn?!?


Special shapes like roses and bells and pinecones.....



Tear drops, double indents, and angels (like the one I gave as party favors for my 10th birthday party! .....

This is how my pink tree in the family room is coming together. I'll show the completed tree on the 15th, the day that my sweet friend Deena of Can I Be Pretty in Pink is hostessing a CHRISTMAS DELIGHTS Party! Check out her blog here to sign up with Mr. Linky to participate!!

This picture shows my pink bottle brush tree that I've had almost all my life. It is always displayed in my bedroom.

These ornaments are new but they have such a great vintage styling to them. I got them at Kohl's last year.


Most of the ornaments that I use on our family room tree are vintage. I'm in love with balls that are stenciled or have indents, or that are tear-drop shape, or have flocking or mica or glitter on them!!
