Vintage Ornies in Hurricane Globe







My sweet friend Leann of The Old Parsonage who also shares a love of all things Christmas prompted me to come back to my Christmas blog. She had visited today and left a kind comment and I thought, gosh, I've neglected this lil blog for too long. I'll try to start sharing more often from now on thru the holidays!

I'm linking up with my new friend Denise who also has a Christmas blog here:

VINTAGE ORNAMENTS ARE AN ADDICTION!



Hello, My name is Stephanie......


and I am addicted......


I collect vintage ornaments......


and storing them in the "off season" is becoming a bit of a problem!


But oh how those Shiny Brites, double indents, snow-capped and stenciled ones, unsilvered war-time ones, and tiny figurals just make my heart skip a beat!

I'm having soooo much fun unpacking them all!

The HOLIDAYS are Coming!


Can you tell I'm dreaming of a
 PINK Christmas?!?


I made some sweet felt Christmas tree ornaments in the vintage style with lots of sequins, beads & embellishments. Soft powdery pinks & blues & glittery whites......



I've been making these ornaments since the late 1970's in many different styles & colors. I've never made any that I love more than these color combinations.

I'm making them for my tree, package decorations, and wreaths!

Just let me know if you need some, as I have multiples available for sale here!

ALL I NEED TO KNOW......

All I Need to Know......



I Learned From Snowmen!


* It's okay if you're a little bottom heavy.



* Hold your ground, even when the heat is on.


* Wearing white is always appropriate.


* Winter is the best of the four seasons.


* It takes a few extra rolls to make a good mid-section.


* There's nothing better than a foul weather friend.


* The key to life is to be a jolly, happy soul.


* We're all made up of mostly water.


* You know you've made it when they write a song about you.


* Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize!


* Avoid yellow snow.


* Don't get too much sun.





* It's embarrassing when you can't look down and see your feet.




* It's fun to hang out in your front yard.




* There's no stopping you once you're on a roll.

Christmas Chandy Prisms


Last year my precious daughter gifted me with a PINK Christmas tree for my birthday on December 15th, so I've been busily stashing away pink and silver ornies for it all year long. I'm also adding chandy prisms in several different sizes and styles to it and may even add my glitzy mirrored balls!











My pink decorating is coming right along. I've got several of these vintage pink bottlebrush trees which I LOVE! Wish I could find more!


I've even stitched a few pink things for the house. I usually give away all that I stitch but decided to frame one for myself!


Til next time, I'll be digging out more PINKS!


Christmas Hugs,
