My Love for Vintage Glass Christmas Ornaments



Is it because they represent the charm of Christmases past?
Or, most likely, those with whom we shared them?
Vintage glass ornaments warm my heart!
































Wishing you a merry, vintage Christmas!

Johanna Parker's Delightful Christmas Folk Art

 


I just know that you'll be tickled by these adorable 
Christmas folk art creations by Johanna Parker!

Whether an ornament, figurine, bell, or perched atop a candy dish,
each papier mache character smiles with personality and vintage charm.
Shiny tinsel or a sweet dusting of glitter add a magical touch.
Along with rosy-cheeked snowmen and Santas, you'll find
other whimsical cuties like owls, mice, penguins and cats
to help you celebrate Christmas!

Give Thanks to Him & Praise His Name -Psalm 100:4




“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that 
the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
– John Fitzgerald Kennedy


With full hearts, let us live out our appreciation
for our God, our families, and our friends.
Grateful. Blessed.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

A (Vintage) Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner

 


As a fan of vintage illustrations, I thought it would be fun to gather 
several of them to depict the traditional Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner.
From stuffing the bird, to roasting, serving, and carving it,
these images invite you to a classic Thanksgiving meal 
with warmth and a bit of humor, as well!


























As we count our many blessings this season,
I wish a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
