Vintage Christmas Monday Blog Party

From now until Christmas I will be hosting Vintage Christmas Monday. I would love for you to participate and share your vintage decorations..

ornaments...and lights

trees...and wreaths

cards...and postcards

dishes, tree skirts, table covers...

creches and outdoor displays.

You get the idea.




Dawn from Cottage State of Mind made me a cute little button to add to your blog to announce the party. Thank you, Dawn!!!!

  1. This is a great idea. I only have a few things that were my grandmothers. I haven't used them in years, but I got them out to start working on my first cloche. I'm anxious to see what others share with you. I wish I had that aluminum tree and the bubble lights of my grandmas...who knew?

  4. Joan-thanks for checking with me. I don't think I have enough vintage stuff to make it work. I actually leave 10 days before Christmas, so I'm trying to get a few Tablescapes etc. worked out ahead of time so I can just click from the hotel. I will however be looking forward to what the others have to share. Thanks!

  6. Hi Joan, I think I have enough for several weeks. Add me to the list. I made a quick little button and will post it at the bottom of my left sidebar in a few minutes. Let me know if you like it, you can grab it if you do, if not I'll delete it.
    Hugs,
    Dawn

  33. This sounds wonderful! I just went today to a Hospital/consignment thrift store and found boatloads of miniature vintage items that I can't wait to incorporate into vintage decorations and gifts for everyone. We have a huge family and still give most everyone something so this will be fun and incentive to get it all done for the blog party! I love it.
    Thanks for doing this, I can't wait. I will post the little button on my blog!
    Blessings,
    Debbie
