Bringing a vintage touch to Christmas

Here is an interesting article about vintage Christmas decoration. I saw several such sites, but this one seemed to me to be a good launching point.

Oo, la la! I like those 1940s ornaments!

Swoon!

That green stenciled ornament was gorgeous. I wonder how hard it would be to make something like that...

Here is a snap of last year's tree. A 1920's feather tree decorated with old family ornaments, save for the tree topper (our old German spun glass and lithographed cardboard angel and been devoured by the red squirrells for nesting material).

We do not have a picture fo this year's tree, as we wait until Christmas Eve to set up our decorations, which are then packed away the morning after Three King's Day.
