A Vintage Christmas in July!

Do you like Christmas in July events?  I must admit that I love early Christmas blog posts and craft link ups!   It gives me the opportunity to do a little pre-Christmas organization and planning.   How about a vintage Christmas card mosaic to get you in the mood for Christmas in July?

    1. Hi Balisha,
      Thank you for visiting me! My goal is to have everything done by the first of November. I can't stand to run around trying to find gifts when I would rather be enjoying the wonderful Christmas season. Of course, that does not always happen, but it is my goal! The only drawback is that I am so good at hiding my gifts, that I have been known to misplace them!

  4. The Christmas collage is so pretty and I love the old Victorian cards. I am also thinking about Christmas because it is my favorite Holiday.
    Have a Happy Week.

    1. Hi Kris! On the Mississippi Gulf Coast, we are experiencing the three H's...HOT, HUMID, and HORRIBLE! I must admit that today was not too bad. I am so thankful for that as our preacher's father-in-law fell in his yard and was there for an hour before he was discovered. On a really hot day, it could have been tragic. When we are having 80 degree weather in December, I will be sure to visit Junk Chic Cottage to get a vision of what weather should be like in December:) Thank you for visiting my blog this evening. Come back soon! We can enjoy a glass of cold, iced tea on the front porch!

    1. Good Morning Donna!
      Wow, you make your own cards? You are going to have to share them with us. That must take alot of time and love. Our Christmas card is always a picture of the family. We have family living all over and it has always been nice for them to see the boys as they grow. Taking the picture is another story! You would think I asked them to plow 10 acres with a mule! I think they would rather clean the bathrooms instead of take the annual Christmas picture! Thank you for visiting and please come back often!

    1. Hi Laura! Thanks for dropping by today! I love vintage cards and vintage magazine ads. They have so much visual interest. I am afraid that I begin thinking about events months ahead of time! I search for bargains whenever I can, so actually get some of my Christmas shopping done in the summer. I work for a school district and have the month of July off, so I spend lots of time organizing...the garage, closets, etc. It gives me the chance to also go through Christmas decorations to see what I can give away, use for this year, or reinvent! Love your closing! Happy Holidays to you too!

  17. If you would ask what month or what day to celebrate Christmas, I always love to make every day of my life Christmas. I don’t what is there in this event that I feel very excited when the season comes nearer. Although it is still months to wait, I’m starting to make some decorations as early as September.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces, I found out that Memory Lane is consi

Fun Fall Door Decor

I am ready for the heat of summer to be over and the cool breezes of fall to head our way.  My sister called me the other day and said she wanted to pull out her autumn decorations and to that I say "Amen, Sista"! We both can't wait to say, "Happy Fall Ya'll"!! In the meantime, I need to update my fall door decor and have been looking for a few, fresh ideas.  Better Homes and Gardens had some wonderful fall wreath ideas.  I adore this unusual "wreath" made from a rake. Who said a wreath must be round? Etsy and Pinterest have an abundance of wreath ideas including several swags to use on your harvest door. Another cute idea from Better Homes and Gardens. It makes me think of  warm apple crisp topped with a dollop of whipped cream!   Yum!  Or how about those wonderfully apple scented candles?  Love those! Monograms are all the rage.  I think this would be a simple wreath to make.  Raise your hand if you like simple projects! Super cu

Thanksgiving Dinnerware to Grace Any Table

Southern Living recently published an article entitled "Turkey Plate Special" chronicling the origins of certain patterns.  Who knew that when Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, we would end up with beautiful transferware patterns honoring the official bird of Thanksgiving?  I was excited to see my pattern, "His Majesty" by Johnson Brothers in the article.  We lovingly call these our Traveling Turkey Dishes.  Click  here  to find out why! I set our Reading Room   table with His Majesty for a quick peek at this beautiful pattern.  I love my "Traveling Turkey Dishes".  It is a joy to get them out and use them throughout November.  I also love this old table.  It has the scars of a well lived life and reminds me so much of my sweet grandmother who loved it as much as I do. A close up of His Majesty shows the lovely colors of the season.  I don't own the turkey platter, but it is on my wish list! (Replacements) Anot
