~A Vintage Christmas

 My friend Laura likes to collect vintage toys & vintage looking ornaments. I enjoyed photographing some of her little treasures the other night. I especially enjoyed spying her kitty all curled up under the tree trying to be undetected!

Speaking of vintage…my daughter surprised me with this adorable old baby buggy that she found at a local antique shop. It was filled with faux presents & greens, too cute! It now sits on my porch.

This vintage tree comes from the same shop. Maybe I’ll be daring and do a tree like this one day…

This stocking was knitted by my grandmother when I was born. She knitted one for every grandchild. I think back on all of the little treasures Santa had left for me in it.

This pinecone tree belongs to another friend, I love how it seems to sparkle with the snowflakes & hanging icicles.

Of course I have to slip in some pictures of Harley, he’s always ready for a photo!

  4. Oh My Gosh, my Grandmother knit the EXACT same stocking for me and for each of my brothers when we were born. My Grandmother was born in New Bedford, Mass. and when my mom was growing up they lived in the little town of Marion, Mass.
    I have many wonderful cousins who scatter all over the state. I am soooo taking a picture of mine and sending it to you! Maybe we're related!!! (through stockings!)..hee hee

  5. Happy Holidays Bonnie, what great photo's! You take such beautiful pictures. All those vintage items are just gorgeous. I decorated my tree this in prim ornaments, then un-decorated the whole tree and re-decorated it with vintage ornaments I started collecting last year. I love it and I think I needed that sparkle that those bulbs give, and I added some tinsel as well. Reminds me of our tree when I was little.
    Love seeing your photo's.
    Thanks for sharing them all!

    Happy Holidays from our home to yours!
