This year’s Christmas decor took quite a vintage turn. All year I have been visiting thrift shops and antique stores. There’s only so much Homegoods I could make unique! Over the year I’ve found some really great treasures and at Christmas time I have quite a few treasures that were my grandmother’s. There is much comfort in cherishing and displaying items from your past in a new and personal way.
I don’t typically share my Christmas decor because it doesn’t get as much thought as my Halloween decor does but this year felt like it was worthy of a post. I hope you enjoy it!
I enjoy painting and found a painting from Lindsay Letters (Flocks by Night) that I tried to recreate. Her painting is by far better than my imitation but I do like how mine turned out. I also bought a Norfolk Pine that I’m determined to keep healthy all year around. My grandmothers light up Christmas tree is always a must as well.
My German smoker, my favorite candle holder along with a few vintage hand painted wooden dolls are unexpected and a bit quirky on my mother’s beautiful blue and white platter.
Along with the vintage angels pictured below, these funny little elves are a staple every year. I remember being interested in them as a child and am so lucky they are now mine.
Funny enough, I found this vintage cat garland on Temu! I took a strand of clear C-9 lights and painted the green, gold. I added a string of vintage bells to top it off.
Vintage angel ornaments that belonged to my grandmother are always a joy to to display each year. They are fitting in front of my favorite photo of my late beloved dog, Winston.
We enjoyed two trees this year and I decorated this tree with nostalgic ceramic lights. I meant to decorate it more but I kind of like the lights being the star of the tree!
