Today is MY turn to show you some of my Vintage Christmas At Home.

 

Much of my Christmas decor is vintage, worn and has a part in my family history.

I am blessed to own my grandma’s vintage angel collection.  These angels were produced in the 1930s.

 Placing the vintage angels, in vessels with epsom salt highlights them individually.

White Vintage home

The little homes and church are also grandma’s vintage collection.

 

As a child, I remember seeing them along with bottle brush Christmas trees on the mantel above her fireplace.

Using vintage tart tins filled with red jingle bells adds the  Christmas red I was hoping for.

 Vintage Mason jars are always fun to fill with strands of pearls and a tealight.

Vintage Croquet Christmas Box

My grandpa’s croquet box is used often in my daily home accessories.  It’s one of my fave pieces to use at Christ time as well.

Christmastree

For years our Christmas tree has been filled with vintage crystals, and shiny brite ornaments.

This year, I have adorned our tree with my great-grandma’s crystal necklace.  Yes, it is one of my favorite pieces on the tree (BIG smile).

 I love this Flexible Flyer, not only because it is vintage, but because my Hubby actually rode it as a child!  (Yes, he may or may not be that old!  HeHe!)

 

This year the sled has found a comfortable home under our Christmas tree.

 

Within days the sled will hold our family gifts.

Grandma’s vintage gold ornaments fill my wood tray, along with dried pomegranates.

White Nativity

Lastly, our book shelf in the living room is adorn with my very first purchased Nativity.

    This vintage loving girl adores your Christmas decor. You are so lucky to have inherited your grandmother’s angels and houses. I love all of your vignettes and wish that I could see them in person.
