I am pulling out what I consider 'retro vintage' items to use to decorate with this year..
Course I am the 'real' thing...50's retro vintage... haa!!!!!
Oh... okay back to the decor topic.!
Here are some stitched items I plan to use.
This Santa and Snow Guy were stitched up by my sweet Mama many moons ago.
They are pillow covers.

These, pic below,are vintage kits I have found thrifting that need to be stitched up!
This is one I made a quilted Holly Pillow...just have to put backing on it.
I still have a place in my heart for ruffles!!!I also have 50's table clothes, aprons and some vintage plastic Santa and Snow Guy lite ups!
Got to get them all ready to go.
Now if I could find a silver tree with the color revolving spot light... haaaaaaaaaa!!!
Wonder if I should do some stockings from some old chenille spreads or table cloths...hummm.
I have some of the old red /white stenciled stockings from 40/50's...dig out time!
Isn't it FUN when you are not so serious about the holidays...just decorate for FUN!!!
I know I have decorated many 'styles' ... country, prim, all antique, traditional, brights, blue, white/cream/, oh my what ever!!
I pretty much have used the darker reds and greens Thimbleberries look past few years and still love it!!

Thank you so much for the blog award. Please don't think me ungrateful but I just don't know who else to pass the award to. Most of those who I know in the blog world have by now received it. But thank you so much for thinking of me! I am touched.
Hugs,
