Christmas Aprons Order

 

Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas!  We sure did.  And so did Retro Revival!

 

 

So grateful to have had such a great selling season this year.  And to top it off...

 

 

...an order on Christmas day for 13 of my vintage Christmas tablecloth aprons!

 

 

Perfect way to end the year!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas!

 

Christmas in NYC

We spent an early Christmas in NYC last weekend with our daughter and son-in-law.  They're so cute:

 

 

Since Captain Project nor I had ever been to the city at Christmastime, they happily gave us the grand tour of all of the most iconic spots.

 

 

My favorite thing?  All of the giant Christmas ornaments and decorations sprinkled throughout the city.

 

 

Aren't these amazing?!

And this is Daughterlypoo and me at one of the many outdoor skating rinks.

 

 

We had so much fun!  Spending time with family is the best Christmas present I could ever receive!

Dressing Up for Christmas

I've lived with dogs all my life.  Two Boxers (at the same time), a Great Dane, a Doberman, a German Sheppard/Cocker Spaniel mix, a Cocker Spaniel, and now Twyla.  Never before, with any of our other dogs, have I been so ridiculous...

 

 

But I just cannot help myself!

 

 

Ooooh how I love this Beagle!

Merry & Bright {Christmas Decor}

A peak into our bedecked home...

 

In the kitchen, I found a small, rustic looking tree and put it into one of my old watering cans:

 

 

In the space between the kitchen and living room, I've set up my "forest" of mercury glass trees:

 

 

 

 

In the family room, atop our vintage radio cabinet (converted into a bar/see previous post here), stands the elf-ish musicians:

 

 

My flea market find, brass deer head on our gallery wall now sports a colorful wreath:

 

 

 

And in one of the side chairs sits a pillow I made from a vintage 1950s tablecloth:

 

 

Merry & bright indeed!

Flocked Christmas Tree

 

We bought a new Christmas tree.  Something much smaller which I like.  I love the old-fashioned flocking too!

 

A closer glimpse of some of my favorite ornaments...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've checked my list and think I'm finished shopping.

 

 

Now to get wrapping!

Elsa Apron Update

Remember the Elsa apron I made for my niece's 5th birthday (prior post here)?

 

 

She loves it!

 

 

Almost as much as I love her!

 

Sparkly Sweet Deer Decor

Oh Deer!

 

 

 Aren't they darling?!  Sparkly sweet!

 

 

Found them at World Market.
