Merry Christmas 2024

 

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate... 

This stocking was made by my mom, who every Christmas Eve would embroider the year (the years continue onto the back). Some of the stitching is a bit wonky--she might have had a nip of Kahlua while she was embroidering (and to be fair, it is difficult to embroider down at the foot...). She made these for every member of the family, so by last year she had seven of them to do. 

She will be terribly missed by all of us.

Grumpy

 

The members of my funny little vintage made-in-Japan Christmas orchestra seem a wee bit disgruntled...

...especially this horn player, who seems downright pissed off. Merry Christmas!

Amazing Amaryllis

 

Wow. This waxed amaryllis bulb is BURSTING with flowers. The stems are quite short, interestingly...Waiting on the other two bulbs to put on a show!

Happy Merry 2023

 

Tallulah Mae loved Christmas, so let's revisit some of her visits with Santa Claus. (Actually, I don't think she did love Christmas, but she was so so adorable!)

Christmas View

 

On Christmas Day we went to have lunch...right on the beach (well, the restaurant is right on the beach, we weren't ON the beach). A gorgeous view...

Happy Christmas Eve Eve!

This year's photo of Santa on a tractor, right down the street from us. I just love how this man continues to amuse the neighborhood on every holiday with someone/something sitting on the tractor. 

Please enjoy Tallulah Mae visiting Santa in 2008.

Garland-y

 

This is kinda cute, yes? I sewed vintage Christmas cards onto bobble trim (love!). This is two separate garlands--there is a button and a buttonhole on each end so that you can combine several together. I had planned to get these into my Etsy shop so that folks could buy them, but...best-laid plans/mice/men, etc. etc. etc.

Ha! This is the beautiful tree in the lobby at the Lodge at Torrey Pines. Look at the adorable owls!

And lots of other festive touches throughout the hotel. Ho ho ho!

Deer Me


 So, Christmas is put away for another year. 

My vintage collections never fail to make me smile, including this varied assortment of deer. I love them! See you next year!

Christmas Crafting

 

This was, obviously, kind of a weird year, so not much Christmas creating/crafting happened. But this did, and I think it's pretty cute!
