Vintage Christmas Collecting


I love Vintage Christmas items. I am decorating my home office in vintage for Christmas. I found this set of lanterns on E-bay for just a few bucks. I love them, but sadly I ordered them for my daughter. She loves the vintage lantern style ornaments. I just couldn't pass them up for her. 


I was talking to my friend, Stevie, about this little Santa and sleigh and one morning I came into work to find this on my desk. I was so shocked and very, very thrilled. I love it. Mom had one when we were little.


She is such a dear friend and we are always doing little things for each other. But she topped the list of good friends when she found me my little reindeer I had been looking to find for the past 2 years. They were setting with the sleigh.


I just have a few more things that I am looking for to add to my vintage Christmas. One is this manager. Mom had one just like it that I loved to move under the tree in front of the packages.


And my main thing I am still searching for is a cardboard fireplace. 


I am thinking about trying to make a Christmas tree skirt out of vintage material unless I can find one out there somewhere in thrift world.
