Antique Christmas

Do you remember our Vintage Halloween? Well now it’s time for an antique Christmas! The Victorian whimsy shop over at D. Blumchen & Company have so many old fashioned decorations, cards and ornaments filled with vintage charm, I promise you that once you peruse their site, you’ll be looking to don your finest petticoat and drink a cup of wassail. No petticoat? Well, that’s ok. I don’t have one either. Anymore. I had one once. And yes, I’m still embarrassed. But we can still go a-wassailing -- I’ll lay my wassail recipe on you in a later post!

So which one is your favorite? For me, THE GARLAND. Oh I love it so. But not at that price. I also adore the look of the picture book -- So enchanting!

(Update: I got the picture book! By lucky chance, I found it in a toy shop the other day! It is ADORABLE, tells all about how Santa does his job. Fabulous vintagey pictures! A thin little paperback, big on charm.)
