Here is a sneak peek at my Christmas decor which is loaded with vintage family items and mid-century American-made treasures. Christmas was so much fun to put together. So -- let's take a trip back in time...
My grandfather sent this doll from Paris to my mom during WWII. The 1965 Ford Falcon was my dad's.
This collection of American-made decor from the 1950s-60s is all on my tree now...except for the lights! I had to draw the line at vintage lights, even though these have not been used, I would not want to leave them on very long.
The "box" is dressing the dining table all ready for family dinners. I filled it with a variety of pines, pine cones and Shiny Brite ornaments.
My grandfather's bell rests next to a yule log we made from birch.
Bubble lights with Shiny Brite indents and vintage tinsel.
This is part of a Hansel and Gretel set I brought from Germany for my mom several years ago.
We had these Jewel Brite angels when I was a child...
What's a vintage tree without icicles?
Vintage Coke carrier from the store...
My grandmother is holding my mom in the photo as my grandfather was away in Germany. This is her hymnal:-)
Vintage vinegar bottles from the store hold white pines with crocheted snowflakes and Shiny Brite ornaments.
These are just a few vignettes that I will share more in detail as we go through the season.
Thanks so much for stopping by:-) If you have questions or just want to chat, please come by Far Above Rubies on facebook, and don't forget to check out my etsy shop, Knight's Store for unique handmade linens, etc.
