"A Vintage Christmas" has kind of been my theme this year. For the first time, I decided not to buy any new Christmas decor for the holiday season, except for some fresh greenery. Keeping things simple, has really allowed me to focus on the creativity of combining elements I already owned to make all of my seasonal vignettes...
I spent the whole year selectively picking up items at the flea market that appealed to me for either their beautiful patina, unique look, or many times just because the item made me smile...so I figured, why not gather those items up to create a little Christmas cheer for my home??!
Here I used a vintage mason jar to hold my tree seedling, old German beer bottles, stacked books, a perfectly faded ornament, and a vintage caddy to create a look that will work for Christmas and into the winter months as well. I completed the vignette with hand stamped tags I made saying peace, love, joy.
My warmest wishes that you too have a little vintage goodness in your holiday season this year!!!

Beautiful as always Tracey! I've been sticking with the decorations I can leave up all winter too.. I just didn't get to it as soon as I'd have liked and now I'll get to enjoy them for longer :)
Such a good idea. It looks very soothing and calm.

Simply Beautiful! I too have kept it simple using my favorite everyday vintage finds for Christmas... adding a fresh spring and pinecones (gifts from nature) here and there, along with some vintage Christmas bulbs (I even used the box tray as decor)...tying a ribbon around a stack of vintage books...it all really does add a touch of the season to our everyday Vintage Living!
Thank you for sharing,
