My faded Angel which i was gonna offer on The Merc this month but thought i'd hang on to her for a bit. A great lil bear, vintage tiny angel bells, old lights and an old sign.









Hope and Joy spelled with vintage type setter blocks

This tree has our old and faded and delicate ornies


One of my unsold ski bears, which is really one of my favs so I'm just using him in my own holiday decor







This is the tree that is the most fun! it is full of ornies that were given to us and ornies that we found so ridiculous.



Ok i just love those old plastic Christmas ornies!


a small collection of vintage Christmas boxes, some filled!


My shrine to the things Kipp made when he was little.Peanut's beautiful cardinal and one of my unsold Christmas pieces.


We really need more vintage ornies!
