VINTAGE CHRISTMAS

Christmas
A Vintage Christmas.

This vintage window is usually above
the great room fireplace mantel.

For Christmas this year,
it has a new home in this vignette,
of tinsel trees, angels and glitter!



This musical Christmas village has ice skaters,
ferris wheel,
snowmen and more,
and is a treat for the children that come to visit.
They love listening to the music,
and watching all the characters as they move across the ice.






This little tinsel tree is adorned with crystal birds and ornaments of snowy white and silver glitter and topped with sparkly ribbons.










Angels proclaimed the birth of the Christ child, surely they are perfect for Christmas vignettes!   



And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Luke 2: 8-14


Children are full of excitement and anticipation for Christmas...
Oh, to have the heart of a child!

    Awwww, look at the sweet little one sitting and listening to the music. So precious, Cindy. The angle is so lovely as it sparkles with glitter and the ice skaters are precious. What a wonderful vignette!

    That little musical village with the skaters is marvelous. I'm sure children are fascinated by it. Your close-up photos are incredible.

    Ohhhh, I LOVE silver, sparkly things!! And the miniatures make it look like a fantasy land! I imagine the child is dreaming of being one of the ice skaters!! I also imagine that the merry-go-round really goes around.

    That glittery angel is beautiful. The last picture is so sweet and made me smile, as I think we should all be more like "the child."

    Oh, what a magical vignette Cindy! I love all the silver and white, and the village. I love even more that you included the quote from the book of Luke. That's what CHRISTmas is all about.

    Hi beautiful friend!
    So much fun coming by and seeing your last three posts today! Your tree is gorgeous. Love the red berry garlands you added. Love your sparkly white skater scene too! I also have different rooms which require different colors of Christmas.... whites and ivory in my kitchen and golds and reds elsewhere!
    Yes, those square marshmallows were from Williams-Sonoma! They are big and so moist and cushy! (RE: a comment you made on my recent post)
    Is that your daughter sitting by the skating vignette? Gorgeous little girl! So cute!
    Hope this finds you enjoying your weekend.
