Vintage Treasures

I have been collecting vintage Christmas ornaments since my friend, Cherry, and I had our antique booth. I'm sure some of you remember our darling, little "Cherryland" booth at The Antique Co-Op on May Avenue. haha We even expanded to a second booth at The Colonies Antique Market on 51st St. & N. Western. That all ended when Cherry moved to Texas approximately 8 years ago. ANYWAY, even though I didn't have the booths anymore, I was still collecting ornaments. (It kills me to think of how many I sold!)

I usually hang all my ornaments on my tree, with loads of vintage beaded garland and icicles. But, this year, I picked out my favorites and displayed them in glass containers. I love being able to see them all with their beautiful colors and little details.


(These are displayed on a heart shaped candle holder)

My tree this year is covered in white, glittered snowflakes and white twinkly lights...that's all.

And I really love it!

Promises, Promises

WOW! Where has the time gone! Like everyone else, life got BUSY! I did finally put up my Christmas decorations. And, as promised, I have some more photos of some of my collections. I didn't go ALL OUT this year. Kept things grouped in tidy, little bunches. I'm going through a "clean it out" phase, so you may see some of my past passions at the thrift store after Christmas! haha

This is my (partial) collection of sequined ornaments. I do still LOVE these! I just love that someone made and designed each and every one of them. I love the funky colors and off-the-wall patterns on some of them. Obviously, some of the ladies had their own ideas and didn't follow the patterns on the kit!


And, I promise, I have more pics to upload in the next couple of days!

Back to shopping and wrapping!!
