KITSCHY CHICKEN IN AN EGG EASTER DECORATION

I walked past this little cutie a few times before I finally picked it up. It took me a minute to figure out that the flowers were actually forming the face and body of the baby chicken. So cute!
The side profile shows the outline of the body.


Yellow daisies with a brown center make the eyes.

Of course, the egg is cracked and sitting on a bed or bright green grass.

Surrounded by pretty pink spring flowers and Easter Eggs.

Now who could resist this? So kitschy, yet so charming and perfect for a vintage Easter decoration!

Vintage Scenic Christmas Ornaments

I found these ornaments at a estate sale. Made of hard plastic, each has a decal that surrounds the ornament with Christmas scenes on both sides. Very uncommon in my area, I haven't found any more like them. Scenes of Santa Claus feeding the birds, Mr. and Mrs. Snowman ice skating and cityscapes.

Scenes of blue birds, red birds, Christmas bells and greenery!

Scenes of children.

A delightful set of ornaments that will adorn someones Christmas tree for many years to come!

You can find this set in my VintageTinsel etsy shop.

DO YOU LOVE RED FOR HOLIDAY DECORATING?

Do you ever stop to think how often the color red is used for holidays? It's used at Christmas, Valentines Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July. In fact, red is used year round!


I just came across this wonderful box of red and white flocked Christmas ornaments, buried in the basement at an estate sale. What a display this Christmas tree must have been!






I found these red heart picks at a recent sale as well. New old stock.

KITSCHY FUN FRUIT CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

I came across these kitschy fruit ornaments at a local antique mall. I couldn't resist! What fun ornaments. I'm not sure if these were manufactured or handcrafted, but loved them. The orange comes complete with a thread to hang on your holiday tree.

I think this red apple with the sweet little deer is my favorite!

Take a closer look. It's like he is standing on a cloud.

Last, but certainly not least, is this pair of pears with little birds peeking out. Maybe they are checking to see what Santa has left.

Take a closer look.

It made my day to find these. Available in my VintageTinsel etsy shop

LOOKING FORWARD TO VALENTINES DAY!

For a few weeks after Christmas, I usually just chill out a little, resting up from the holiday rush and enjoying the time just contemplating the year past and my goals for the New Year.

Today, my thoughts have turned to Valentines Day. Traditionally, we associate red and pink colors along with hearts to show our love.


While yellow is not the color associated with Valentines Day, it is my favorite color!! When I found this satin covered yellow candy box high on a shelf in a basement at a recent estate sale, I couldn't pass it up.

Decorated with the plastic flowers so popular in the 1960's and 1970's. Not even resembling the real color of the flowers, but just as charming none the less.

It came complete with the inside tray all the candies sat in.

I found this on the same high shelf, just waiting to be reused!

OUR LITTLE TREE

Every year I put up a large artificial tree with my burgandy, gold and crystal ornaments. My sons decided we needed a real tree and came home with this one. It's only 4'-5' tall but smells so good! We decided to leave the main tree in the foyer as always and placed this one in the corner of the dining room. My daughter decided to take a picture and changed the color. This is what she came up with.

VINTAGE LOVE SATURDAY...VINTAGE CHRISTMAS

It's Vintage Love Saturday on SouthernLadyVintage's blog. Please feel free to join in and share your vintage Christmas items. I wanted to share these unusual ornaments. I think they would be perfect on a white tree for a shabby chic look or on a silver tree with a color wheel.

Large round colorful balls that are enclosed in a plastic silver filigree ball. Made in Italy is embossed on each cap.

Circumference is almost 11". Each ornament has plastic jewels that are placed around the middle and on the bottom. The jewels are the same color as the inside ball except the yellow ornament has red jewels.



Now to find that perfect tree!
