Here it is in silver - isn't that just a must have?!
St. Charles Place Antiques just around the corner on Wells Ave. S. has some lovely vintage finds, but I am a sucker for a really good jolly guy in a red suit. It's those rosy red checks and the gleam in his eye that get me every time.
Black Chow Antiques, on the corner of Wells Ave. S. and S. Third, has the best displays, and this time of the year its no different. These vintage glass ornaments are about $4 a piece and are a steal at that price.
Hanging the stockings with care - these are hand quilted and only $9 a piece.
You could win me over with an old school lit Santa any day. This is the way we were meant to decorate - but then, I am crazy, so take it all with a big gulp of cookie and just buy me the damn thing.

We used to have an old light up Santa that was in my Grandfather's Italian bakery when I was just a toddler. I finally gave it to my daughter for her children to enjoy. And I have a small silver tree on my mantel with lot's of other silvery things, including silver glitter reindeers! You're not alone Lady P in your old fashioned tastes.
I have two things that I treasure from Christmas past...
I have a Hallmark Train made of cardboard from the early 50's for Christmas Cards... We always had it on the fireplace mantle as kids. It's kind of falling apart now, but I always gently display a few pieces every year. Thanks Mom...
My Dad, since the 70's, had this ceramic (3 foot tall) Christmas Tree he got in Cle Elum while he was playing weekly at Cavallini's Restaurant... We've had many a good laugh over the years about that. Thanks Dad...
Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
