Our youngest daughter made this wreath in school in 1987. Her little hands were traced, the forms cut out, and assembled. I laminated it a few years later and it is one of my favorite decorations.
This stack of books in our Christmas cabin includes some vintage volumes. The pictures are a joy to visit each year.
A vintage tin rests atop it...
The stack of Christmas issues of Ideals continues to grow. I think a few copies would fall into the "vintage" category.
Though a 1990 publication, this book contains two vintage stories, one written in 1966 (my high school graduation year) and the other in 1973. The entire Miss Read series is a delight to read.
I don't know the history of this horse but it
looks vintage. It joined our household when we found it waiting to be burned on a burn pile! A minor repair brought it back to its current condition.

Those vintage Christmas books are fun to look at. I have a few from the 1950s and scanned some pages for my "Vintage Thingies Thursday" posts the last couple of weeks.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you rescured that horse! I can't imagine it being thrown out.
ReplyDeleteThe wreath your daughter made is priceless. Wonderful way to remember how little her hands were.

Dear Rebecca....Oh, I LOVE Ideals. It always has great photos and poems. Love all Christmas books, too. At used book sales, I can never resist adding more to my library! Hope you have a good day! Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com

I love your vintage Christmas items. I remember the Ideals magazine. My mom had a few of those when I was a kid. I can't believe someone would throw out that rocking horse. We have one around here that someone gave us when my oldest was a toddler. It's so sturdy, I can't imagine ever getting rid of it.
