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
 
 
And don't miss these very fun blog events ...

 
 
LINKY PARTIES here and there!
