A Christmastime Scrapbook

a Boyd's bear gently settles in to make a welcoming appearance
on this year's front door wreath 

afternoon sunlight hits the home-crafted oak mantle laden with
Grandma's vintage ornaments, old celluloid Santas, and fresh snipped holly

 

 

big ol' jars make their way from kitchen cupboards to host these oh-so-fragile orbs    

 

old and new Christmas friends

perch on a tiny vintage wooden ironing board

 this Santa just might light the way
if we dared plug in his way-too-ancient electrical cord

four pairs of eager little hands joined in to decorate the tree

with unbreakable treasures collected over five generations,
as seen in this photo taken very late one evening 

 

 

 

a chipped enamelware plate and a much-used cutting board

host the remains of autumn's potpourri and a fragrant yuletide candle

 

 

grinning gingerbread people ornaments

stand at attention in a sparkling 1930/1940s refrigerator dish

 

 

chippy white bunnies guard a tiny tree that's taken up wintertime residence

in an old galvanized washtub
