It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Hello!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas-at the Antique Mall.

Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier every year. Our Christmas open house at the Antique World Mall in Boise, Idaho (where I have a booth), was November 1st!

I love the charm of vintage Christmas items. If you haven't Christmas shopped at your local antique store yet, you need to grab your best gf and go. You can find adorable santas, angels, and sparkly silver aluminum trees that will whisk you back to Christmases past. Here's the added bonus: vintage items are usually less expensive, better quality, and much cuter than anything you can buy at a department store.

I snapped a few pics of my antique booth to share with you. I hope they have you humming Christmas carols in no time.
















The "JOY" is made of old plastic store letters I found at the thrift store for .25 each. I dug through the pile of broken and scratched ones until I found a J O Y and a N E S T.
A sweet shabby white baby doll crib waits patiently to be taken home while a 1950s ladies blue hat with dotted lace sits on it's edge saying-please wear me to town.
Several old black vintage birdcages are all dolled-up with silver stars and white dove inhabitants.
A pretty pink tea set and pink jewelry box sit in front of a shabby white spice shelf.
Vintage garden items hang with Santa on the top shelf.
The glass display case is filled with blue world globe banks, sweet pastel children's planters, and flower hankies.
A New York snow globe rests next to the Eiffel tower and Christmas cookies sit on a black and white enamelware plate. Will Santa ever come?

Happy dreams of a vintage Christmas!
