Merry Christmas!!

enchanted village...

Jim and I had a date the other night and he took me to see The Enchanted Village.

It was a wonderful collection of holiday scenes from the 1960s fully decorated with vintage pieces and even some beautiful antiques. Included in each scene were sweet old fashioned animated figures.

I didn't bring my camera but found these photos on Google to share with you...

 

It really was very sweet!

Every so often "White Christmas" would play and faux snow would fly!

We went for a quiet Italian dinner for two after.

It was a perfect evening ~ thank you Jim!

For a little history about The Enchanted Village go here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

pops of red...

Thought I would pop in quick and show you where some of these treasures I found last weekend ended up...

Quite a few things sold from my booth last week during our week long Holiday Open House so I changed things up a bit, adding some more pops of red...

Thank you all for your kind words on my post the other day.

It is really nice to have someone listen and understand!

I know this is such a busy time so thanks so much for stopping by!

I am sharing my vintage Christmas vignettes with Debra over at Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday.

Thank you Debra for being such a great hostess!!

Have a wonderful weekend...



i'll be home for christmas...

I'll be home for Christmas...

We host Christmas every year so we do not have to travel...

I realized that this just might be the last time that all four of us will wake up together on Christmas morning as the princess is thinking about a nest of her own soon...

So, all the memories of Christmas past with my kids seem to be more precious to me this year...

Making me realize how time is passing so quickly...

I am looking forward to making new memories with them this season...

And am trying to feel the joy of the season and not let the sad thoughts get in the way...

So, when I see one of my favorite photos of them that I used for a Christmas card years ago under my little tree I smile...

But I can not promise that there won't be a happy tear too...

I wish they were this little again!

Joining Faded Charm for White Wednesday ~ thanks for hosting Kathleen!
