It's Raining......Reindeer!

I've got a growing fascination with reindeer......

They have been growing on me since, welllll......

So I'm sharing some of my old AND new favorites.......

The above Santa is mine from circa 1960.

Fast forward some 23+ years to a December evening when

my parents were babysitting my little daughter.

"GeeDaddy" decided he and his favorite girl needed to craft

a reindeer to go with Santa.

I still put out their adorable creation side by side each year!

The little toothpick antlers have been glued back on

more times than I can count!

I even have a little pink reindeer cookie cutter (center, in front of box).

Love my Lefton PINK reindeer with roses!

Bought these glittery reindeer last year at one of my favorite

local shops.

Made a kazillion of these as my daughter was growing up ~

Yes, I was always Head Room Mother for her classes!

Who remembers these?

Another blast from the past ~ I had one just like this that I used to fill with apples and sit on the porch!

I hope to share more of my vintage reindeer that I'm amassing soon,
but til then I'll leave you with a few of my favorite vintage postcards
that feature reindeer...... Feel free to click and save for your personal use!

And the last four I'm sharing are from karenswhimsy.com

Handmade Ornies from a Friend

~ Click on any of my pics to enlarge ~

A dear friend of mine and also a fellow PRH Sister,

Jen of Jen's Petal Palace

gifted me with this beautiful handmade ornie

for my December 15th birthday

a couple of years ago.

It is so pretty that I display it year round!

Not quite sure how or why the bunny got into these pics, as I made them quite a while back.

But he is cute so I decided to post them.

Mirrors & Chandy Decorations

I collect (and sell) antique mirrors, so I always try to incorporate them into my decorating scheme.

Antique European Scallop & Diamond Point Beveled Mirror as a Plateau Mirror
with my favorite cherub compote full of silver & Paris pink handpainted roses Christmas Balls made by my friend Jennifer of Jennifer's Petal Palace.


Small Venetian Glass Beveled Mirror ornament that my friend Amy of Bunny Rose Cottage gifted me with last Christmas

I have a huge addiction to gorgeous lighting so I thought that one of Mary of Oh Merci's mini chandeliers was a fitting decoration for me. This one stays out year round!
