Vintage Ornaments May Be My Downfall!
And don't forget my ~ birthday giveaway ~ this week!
Wanted to share a few more of my decorations with you. I collect vintage bottle brush trees & will be showing you some later this week, but this one today is brand new. Yep, this year I decided to mix the old with the new. Till I get all mine up, please take a peek at my dear friend Karen's (Secondhand Rose) on her mantle.....beware, tho, it'll leave you drooling!
My mother & I went shopping the other day & she surprised me by buying me this adorable Santa for my birthday. Of course I begged for it early....and got it! My birthday isn't actually until the 15th ~ this Saturday. Isn't it adorable?
We went into the neatest little antique shop & I found these three stenciled ornaments that are vintage & so I brought them home with me!
Then the shop lady "helped" me find these vintage indents, handpainted ones, an old strawberry, & even a Merry Christmas glittered one! Of course they had to come home with me, too!
Now these are new ornaments made to look old. Kohl's has an entire line of them called their Nostalgia ornaments. I bought these........ 
.......and these!!! Poor DH said that I had ALREADY decorated the tree & why did I need MORE? Poor guy, he just doesn't get it, does he?!?!
My dear friend Amy of Four Sisters in a Cottage sent me this vintage reproduction Father Christmas card. Isn't it just the sweetest?
And my dear friend Celeste of La Rea Rose sent me this beautiful Christmas card, complete with her signature roses handpainted on the bottom! This is frameable for sure, Celeste!! Thanks so much! Since I've been so fortunate to win several blog giveaways, & since it will be a while before I reach my 100th post, I thought I would like to give back to the blog community by celebrating my birthday SATURDAY with a give away. SO......leave a comment on any of my posts anytime between now & midnight Saturday evening, the 15th, & then I will draw a name to win some items. Each comment will be a separate entry! I'm sure there will be a few Christmas goodies included!
Now I've got to dash off & decorate some more......
Hugs,
Stephanie

Stephanie, Hi there! Boy hope TX is warmer and not covered in ice like we are! I spent a whole Sunday in because of a big ice storm, todays Monday and were expecting more! needless to say it terrifies me with my knee and back problems!! Love all the ornaments. Personally I haven't bought one this year. The local museum has historical reproduction ornaments and will checkit out on Saturday, have quite a few already from previous years. I really do love that clear container with pink ornaments too. Oh Steph, did you have any reception photos to post yet? I'm dying to se the tables and the feather tree!! well gonna run I getting a tad behind in pre-holiday prep and need to play catch up today! Love, Lori
I love your vintage ornaments. I'm going to Kohls today and will be sure to check out their vintage section. I just love everything you do. You have such a warm elegant style. Have a great birthday week!
