Let's Talk Vintage #63: Mini Christmas Home Tour

 

 

Welcome to Let's Talk Vintage!

 

It's the week of Christmas and I am sharing snippets

of Christmas around my house. A mini house tour,

you could say. Won't you come along?

 

It will be a quick one, I was

not able to focus too much

on my house this year due to all

of our other holiday festivities!

 

 

 

First up, our sweet NOEL angels.

Aren't they adorable?

 

I might put them on the Hubs' cake

this year. His birthday is Christmas Eve! 

 

 These were given to him by

my vintage lovin' Mother-in-Law
many years ago. Each one holds

 a small candle. I'm hoping regular

birthday candles will fit!

 

 

Here is my mantel. Every year I use the same
lighted pine garland. It makes it difficult to
place anything fragile on there. I add
the poinsettia flowers for color. 
So, nothing really vintage here
except the Nutcracker theme. 

 

The one on the right looks

like he's had one too many.

 

 

Last weekend I looked around

and realized Jesus was not even in the room.

How could I have Christmas decorations

 and forget the most important part???

Back into the attic I went to find our

Nativity set. This one I found over at

Four Sisters in a Cottage, a couple of years ago.

It is vintage and was made in Italy.

 

I asked Bebe to arrange the figurines

and she did a great job. She made

Mary, Jesus and Joseph the front

focus while I always place them in back.

 

Sometimes we learn from

the wee ones, don't we?

 

 

 

Last year I found this sweet "church themed"

 cloche at Target.

 

 

This year I placed a vintage little

metal truck and putz house inside my own

cloche and stand.

 

I found this metal, "MERRY CHRISTMAS" stand-up sign

at a yard sale at the beginning of the Fall season.

 

Not old but it sits on top of our armoire

 in the formal living room area, which is also

host to an antique clock and old wooden boxes.

 

This Belsnickle Santa was handmade by my

friend, Patti, and I love putting them out each year.

I have three different versions.

This is the one she did in White.

 

 I managed to get my tree back up and decorated with pastel feather tree ornies and glass garland...

It was used for decorating my Mother's big birthday bash last week so this photo is from last year!

 

My all time favorites are the pastel

ornaments. I lay this vintage

pink glass wreath on top

of my apothecary jar each year

which is filled with pops

of vintage eye candy.

 

And this is one of our trees in the "formal"

living room. Vintage ornaments are sprinkled throughout 

the tree. We have another smaller tree in the other

room (where we watch TV) that is filled with

so many of our oldies but goodies.

 

 This particular room is where we all

 end up opening our gifts on Christmas Day.

 

See, I told you this would be short!

 

***********

Let's just get right to today's features:

 

 

Sharon over at Blue Willow House, took us

on a Christmas tour of the antique mall where

she is a vendor. Look how cute these

cheese graters look!

 

 

Sarah, of Sadie Seasongoods, shared this

cute vintage toy truck holiday makeover.

These are always such fun to see

 but Sarah took hers to a whole

 new level! Look at the

wooden sides and cute sign!

 

 

and Vanessa of Vanessa's Modern Vintage Home,

took us on a Christmas tour

inside her home. Loved all of her

ideas and inspiration!

 

Thank you to all and have a

very Merry Christmas!
