So shall we take a look?
The tree is big lights and all
vintage shiny bright ornaments.

Really enjoyed the visit to your home and seeing all your many treasures. Well done and lots of wonderful memories to cherish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great vintage Christmas post.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the old treasures and have some of the same things. I think it's extra special that your things actually belonged to your grandparents and parents. Most of mine are from thrift/antique shops.
I've never seen the little Santa mugs in the package. Who knew that they were once used for shot glasses :).
This is by far my favorite post of the season! I almost got teary eyed thinking of how fortunate you must feel to have all of these beautiful things from your grandparents! I hope they stay in your family for years to come! Merry Christmas to you and yours! :)

ReplyDeleteOh Ann, I love this post, so wonderful. I want to sit and linger over each sweet and precious photo.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the merriest of Christmases!
Anne, I love all your vintage things. The little Christmas girls are adorable. Seeing your father's solder picture, makes me feel like crying.It makes me think of young men wanting to be home for Christmas. Now days it's men and women. Enjoy your beautiful Christmas. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteOh my Gosh ~ so many Christmas memories. You are so fortunate to have those things that mean so much to you~ enjoy the memories ~ Love all of it ;-)
ReplyDeleteI had such fun taking this p eak around your house. I love looking at all the cute bits on the shelves... and recognized gurley candles and other pretties that I have too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Looking at this post is like looking in my own home. Our styles are so similar and we have many of the same things. I must say that this has been my favorite vintage Christmas post this year! If you get a chance, check out my decor! I think you will like it:-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays,
Erica
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how you have decorated!!! THANKS soo much for sharing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteJust amazing! If there is a prize, you win! You have the most fabulous vintage Christmas collection. It must feel wonderful to still have your Grandparents home. I love that the tree is in the same place. Happy Christmas! You seem all set!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've time traveled to my childhood and ended up in Santa's village!!! Everywhere I look is a treat for the eyes! I love it all. What a joyous place to be.
ReplyDeleteHugs and happy holidays,
Patti
Oh what a sweet treat and a Merry Christmas visit on this lovely Pink Saturday. And thanks for the info about the Christmas blog party. Have a blessed and beautiful Christmas full of old and new and very delightful family memories.
ReplyDeleteWell you had me at vintage! It's my favorite part of Christmas decorations. Your tree looks amazing. I love all the original boxes with ornaments. I have some Christmas cups but I took them out of the plastic (kept it though). Love ALL of the Santas.
ReplyDeleteAnn
Where do I begin. Oh well, I just love it all :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure trove of Vintage! I have been catching up on your beautiful posts!
ReplyDeleteJust all so beautiful. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
Susie
Love it all, Ann! My favorite is the big colored lights. I have been buying a set every time I can, trying to get enough of them to do our tree with. They won't be vintage, but they will be like the big old bulbs that we had growing up. They are sooo costly tho!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Ann I love this post! I love your grandparents house at 1515! I could spend hours here just browsing. I will be back for another look. You have such an amazing collection of shiny brites. Love all of your (in the package) treasures. The silver tree, oh gosh; just love it all! I will be featuring you for sure sweetie!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jann
I forgot to tell you that when I saw the big Santa face I almost cried. We had one so similar growing up that I loved. My mom hung it outside on the house every year. He lit up and his nose had started to get a hole in it. No one knows what ever became of him. Would loved to have him in my home!
ReplyDeletedouble hugs,
Jann
I could wrap the whole house up and bring it home with me! Love those Santa cups in the original packaging. And that Santa head planter in your Grandparents bedroom is adorable. so much eye candy!
