Presents for my mama...
These are the presents I sent to my sweet mama! She's so fun to shop for because she loves pretty vintage treasures as much as I do!
Don't you love this vintage cabinet card? I think this handsome fellow looks quite dapper in his suit and handlebar mustache! I can never pass up lovely mother of pearl buttons, especially on their original card! The lovely lace in the background is one of her presents, too. Some of the prettiest vintage millinery flowers I've ever found! I love the soft shade of pink and the white one has so many ruffled petals!
A gorgeous rhinestone crown pin. A girl can't have too many rhinestones or crowns!
And here are a couple of lovely gifts I received that I forgot to show you in the last post.
My dear mama sent me the sweet baby photo and this cute vintage clock is a present from my sweet husband!
Can you believe I'm already thinking about Valentines Day? I hoping to get some Valentines made soon!

Holiday Sparkle!
Here is a little peek into my bedroom. I've always got to have some sparkle, holiday or not!
I added some fairy lights to this white lantern for a pretty and magical glow and draped some pretty aqua beads on the back of the chair. The pillow is the other side of the one my mom made me from a vintage runner. I added my favorite pink millinery flower.
I was lucky enough to win this adorable snowman ornament from sweet Dawn of The Feathered Nest! Isn't he SO cute???And he fits in perfectly on my white tree! Thanks so much, Dawn!!!
Here are a few more of my favorite ornaments on my tree. A sweet angel.
A charming snowman family, which is really just a card I added glitter to.
An adorable Santa and a vintage photo.
Can't you just see that little guy asking for some figgy pudding? He looks like he's all dressed up for the holidays! Now I'm off to read some Christmas stories to my little men.

Vintage Christmas!
These are the presents I'm mailing off to my dear mama. I can't show what's inside yet, because she sometimes reads my blog. I love using plain brown mailing paper with vintage pretties like lace and postcards to dress it up.
This box some of you may recognize as the box glittered letters come in. I altered it by adding a vintage photo of a queen and some glitter. I was going to glitter her jewels, but ran out of glitter glue and time.
I used vintage sheet music to wrap one present and tied it up with aqua seam binding. The tiny little box is from Michaels. It's just a little paper mache box. I added a vintage fairy illustration and some tinsel.
This is my Christmas tree this year. You may be wondering why I'm only showing you the top of it.This is why. This little man loves to remove the ornaments, so the bottom of the tree is quite bare.
I love how my old aqua door looks as a backdrop for my white tree.On it I have hung some vintage lace and a Wendy Addison dream banner. I also added a cute little cone I made and this fun collage I did a few years ago. The photo is of my mom and her little brother in front of an igloo their daddy built for them.I love this old world style Father Christmas I found at T.J. Maxx. He is the newest addition to my small collection of white Christmas decorations.
And last, I must show you the table I bought with my birthday money over two months ago. It's fits perfectly in my entryway.
Hope you are having lots of fun getting ready for Christmas this year as I am.

and little snow covered houses and trees. Do you decorating for Christmas early too? I just can't help myself. It's my favorite time of year, so I like to make it last as long as I can.Michelle xoxo

Dreaming of a Vintage White Christmas...
Happy White Wednesday! I love Christmas and as soon as Halloween is over, I'm hauling out the boxes of Christmas goodies!This is the top of my cheap old t.v. cabinet. But who will notice with all the pretty Christmas decor to distract you?
I never tire of using my tarnished silver pieces. They looks pretty any time of year and go with everything!
I adore my lovely mercury glass candlesticks. Not old, but just as pretty as the real thing, I think!
Old clocks, buttons, lace and some snowy pine cones. I love the little snowman print below. Vintage children's book illustrations are a favorite of mine.
Now I'm off to see more White Wednesday posts! Thanks to Kathleen of Faded Charm for hosting this fun weekly blog party!
