Vintage Christmas or Retro Christmas…I can never decide which makes me happier…
I guess I’ll just take both of them—equally! There’s something so elegant and magical about the beautiful Victorian style at Christmas time…
…and something so wonderfully kitschy, nostalgic & childlike about Christmas retro-style…
{fabulously retro bits from Vintage Street Market: old dresden Santa, vintage Christmas seal, old buttons in Christmasy colors, a bingo card & a wonderful, old red plastic “Merry Christmas” hanger}
A couple of projects made this week for the season: a little card all ready to give and an ornament to keep for our tree…
All bits used for both come from the wonderful Vintage Street Market—chock-full of authentic vintage elements to make any of your projects just right…
For instance, for the Santa ornament, Santa is an original piece of Victorian scrap—was so hard to glue him in place! But I love the results…old golden tinsel, vintage Christmas sheet music, and a bit of vintage dresden that I love so much-- “Merry Christmas”, it says…
Wishing you all a wonderfully festive start to the Christmas season!
Julie

ReplyDeleteI love it all, but I guess I tend to lean toward Retro, there is just something about it that I love. Your card and ornament are both lovely and festive.
