This girl has got a thing for the vintage Christmas that I have to admire (and covet).
AND, she is having a giveaway. Maybe you should stop by.
You can stop by but don't think that you are going to beat me out of this giveaway. not.
After making 8 wreaths this year from vintage christmas ornaments I was left with quite a pile of old ornament boxes. I love these old boxes as much as the ornaments that came in them.
I've been burning blisters on the tips of my fingers with the hot glue and I've got a big batch of them turned into fun and kitschy decorations themselves.
If you have read much of my blog then you know I collect vintage christmas stuff with abandon. You would also know that I adore vintage textiles, so OF COURSE I collect vintage christmas fabrics.
In fact my collection is quite extensive.
Over at True Up it's nothing but christmas prints from now through Dec 25. They also have a flickr pool for fabrics and you can see more there.
I snapped pics of my collection to share here, pardon the creases!
I saved the best for last, this is one is my absolute fav.
I just made a tote bag from this fabric. I love polka dots too. ya think.
These fabrics are just so whimsical and fun. They are almost all border prints and they were sold as yardage. Often they were made into curtains, pillowcases and of course aprons.
