Retro Christmas Finds and Creations

Shaan fell in love with this moose.  So had to decorate him with a flocked bell and ribbon from the Scrapyard.  I then used a jar of my Dad's old marbles to hold flocked amarylis (Pier I Imports) and a kaleidoscope I purchased at Value Village.  This will give Shaan a flavor of the holidays when she returns from South Africa before New Years.

A cute little elf that I found at an estate sale.  I remember having a couple of these as a kid.Some handmade felt treasures from an estate sale.

Happy Holidays

So am back from Montana and winding down.  Had a great trip! Was able to find lots of vintage christmas carol music and a vintage table cloth.  I used the sheet music to make banners and wrap fruitcake.  I then found these wonderful retro glass and chenille picks at a antique market.
