Vintage Christmas Monday~ Number 3
{These are chalk/plaster sheep from large size nativity scenes. I have collected them one or two at a time over the years. They are on my mantle all year round.
Above them is a gable piece from a house built in LaPorte, Indiana in 1892.}
Love the sheep. I collect various types and use them in my bedroom to decorate this time of year.

Love the sheep, my maiden name is shepherd and it always reminds me of the Shepherd watching over his flock, each and everyone.
ReplyDeleteI bought some for the shop this year...and seems no one is buying them and they are really wonderful.
Hey, I can always keep them myself!
Thanks for sharing and I will post my shopkeepers vintage Christmas a little bit later, it's ready to go!
Love those precious sheep! I have to say that the only sheep I have are in the nativity scene. Hmmmm perhaps something to buy:) Have a blessed day and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Joan, I love your little chalk sheep, they are precious! I would keep them out all year too... and your gable piece from 1892, what a priceless treasure! Happy Vintage Christmas Monday, and thanks for hosting this! Bisous... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteI love looking at all the old...uh, I mean vintage...things being posted by your readers. My post for this week might not count as "vintage". I'll let you be the judge!! Merry Christmas!!!

Now there is a GREAT idea! I love chalkware and how clever of you to collect the sheep ... I just have mine from my Nativity, but see many loose pieces often. I'll be looking at them with new eyes in the future! Thanks for everything Joan! Judi
ReplyDeleteI love your vintage sheep. They are so perfect for the Christmas Season!
ReplyDeleteoooh those sheep are just wonderful!!! i also love those vintage department store gift boxes you posted yesterday! thanks again for hosting this awesome party!
ReplyDeleteI just found you through Suzy at Georgia Peachez. I made a trellis tree that I posted about today. It's of vintage images I copied off the internet though and not something from my family or anything. I love your blog, by the way and I'll be back to visit!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Aww, your sheep are so sweet. We used to have sheep when I was little. I love that you keep them out all year. I say if it makes you smile surround yourself with it.
ReplyDelete*hugs*deb
What a interesting collection of sheep! I love the look of the chalkware/plaster. They really make a statement on your mantel. I'm not posted for VCM just yet but hope to be later tonight.
ReplyDeleteJane
What a nice idea to keep something that is lovely out all year long - and not just during the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYour mantle piece is really a treasure - don't you wonder what went on in the house it came from?
Happy VTM,
Jo
Those are awesome, what a wonderful treasure to have! Please add me on to the party! Thanks, Cindy

Oh Joan, these litlle sheep have the sweetest faces. I just love them. Have a great day...julie

I love those bucolic little guys! Can we see a photo of your whole mantle? I also checked out your last couple of posts and love your snowmen and the heart ornament. Yes, I have trouble throwing things away! I have a feeling you must be very organized because you can actually find the things you save to make beautiful projects with them!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
I have a few little chalkware sheep that I put out at Easter! I just did a post tonight on Christmas and would love to join the party if it is not too late. I will promptly change the title of the post to include VCM and add the appropriate links and info to the top of the post, as well as the cute little VCM red door button if you give the ok.

The sheep are precious. I would've never thought to put together a group of one animal from nativity scenes. What a great idea. I loved joining your Vintage Christmas Monday. I'm pretty new to blogging, and it's the first time I've participated in one of these things. It's so fun. Thank you for putting it together.
