Just wanted to share some vintage Christmas items we have. This Santa planter belonged to Mike's mother.
As did this kind of scary looking wind-up Santa.
This nativity scene is from my childhood, purchased at the "dime store" (remember those?) We were so poor we could only afford one wise man. I seem to recall a shepherd, but don't know what became of him.
This is a wreath I made of old glass ornaments, Shiny Brites and others. The rubber reindeer is from my first Christmas in 1951. The "elf on the shelf" figure was given to me by my friend Patti...it belonged to her mother-in-law.
This crewel embroidery was done by Mike's mother...a lot of work for something that is just displayed for one month out of the year, but I do treasure it.
I love all these old things from Christmases past. The memories are what make this time of year so special.
