I'm dreaming of a vintage Christmas ...

Do you hear what I hear?

The sounds of Christmas.

( Yes, that is Ave Maria you hear in the background)

This week I will decorate my home in the spirit of Christmas.

Trees will go up, garland will be hung, and Christmas music will fill our home.

I am left to reminisce of Christmas past...

(here is where a really cute photo of me and Angelique were going to go but my scanner has a mind of its own today)

I grew up surrounded by all things vintage.. Literally. They hold a special place in my heart.

I have a deep rooted passion for vintage angels...

and Santas...

This one reminds me of the Santa my aunt had in her front yard every year.

(Even after his red was wearing off she placed him out there faithfully... When he couldn't stand anymore she tied him to a planter. He looked like he was being held hostage.  lol) 

 I loved decorating the tree

and placing all of the beautiful ornaments on it. 

 We even strung popcorn into garland. 

(I do not think that my aunt ever questioned why the garland was thinner each morning.. we ate it.

Hey, we were like 6!) 

 

Some people dream of sugar plums .....I dream of an old fashioned vintage Christmas .

"Both of you?" ....

Yes.... Both of the Six sisters went to Athens, Tx!!!

I also brought along my trusty sidekick daughter Morgan.

(She is such a teenager! Ipod always in tow)

After a very looong car ride we arrived to visit our bloggy friends at

I could not feel my legs anymore but it was soooo worth the wait and the drive.

As soon as we arrived my mouth fell to the floor...

The bible says we will all have our very own mansion when we arrive in heaven.

I found it .. and it is in Athens, Tx!!

There was sooo much to see I could barely take it all in.

(That's me on the left and Angelique on the right- we were"oohing" the whole time.)

I met the lovely and hilarious Mindy of  Primitiques 'n Poetry

She is an amazing woman with an awesome sense of style and humor.

("Both of you?? LOL -Mindy we laughed for 3 hours later on that one)

I won one of those beautiful decanters in a drawing!!!

(pics of that to follow)

I am still buzzing on all of the exquisite creations and finds that were there.  

( I know I must have looked like a tourist with my camera snapping away.)

This is one of those quiet moments where you just take it all in and enjoy.

So sit back, grab some hot tea, let your fingers just glide over the mouse and Enjoy!!!

 

 

I told you it was Ammmmaaaazzzing!!!

In addition to the eye candy, I had the privilege of meeting some very talented and remarkable people.

The amazing beauty and Cat Daddy of Talking Trash

The Divine Robelyn of Red . neck Chic

and the fantastic Ms. Gloria of Sweet Pea

I agree Ms. Gloria- Thumbs up!!

There were even refreshments... as you can see.
( my brother-in-law and daughter camped out there lol)

And rescued rabbits for you to adopt.
And of course I bought some great"finds" as well.

If you have never been to Athens, Tx. You are truly missing out!!
These ladies and gents truly inspire me and if you were to visit them ... you would be inspired to!!
