Christmas Trilogy 3: These are a few of my favourite things.
Of the vintage kind.
I love the spirit of Christmas past with its ethereal quality that can’t be matched in the modern world. Fashioned of paper or felt, these Christmas reminders of other, bygone days help to keep me grounded in the otherwise whirlwind of preparation.
The angel topper, made by elementary-aged-Husband-Will’s hands.
Another reminder of Husband-Will’s festive childhood…the stocking.
Christmas greetings on the penny postcard, a treasure from Great Aunt Sadie’s estate.




That tree topper is precious.

smile, tell hubby he was quite the talented child! Love them, very adorable, quaint and retro fun! You should so do something fun with the postcards, either a long thin frame of the collection or having htem under glass on a tray topper for the holidays.(you could also scan and print the backs for the tray top as well. They are wonderful!
