Ruby Tuesday

I thought I would participate for the first time in Ruby Tuesday over at Work of the Poet. Check out the other Ruby Tuesday posts too!

I couldn't find my pic of my second batch of hand cream in jars with red covers, but I did make another batch.
So here is my Zorro inside the red interiored shelf. Everything looks better inside a shelf with a red interior or other warm color, as you can see from Zorro!

And here are two (the red ones) of a bunch of large ornaments that I made with my friend Sarah to put on the porch for winter cheer. They are about a foot across, and there are some much bigger, but not red. I never knew until I tried to decorate it how windy the front porch is in December! Everything got all tangled into a big mess! Maybe next year i'll figure out a way...

Thanks for looking - I was feeling sad that no one saw them.

Merry Merry Vintage Thingys Christmas!

I haven't been around much for a variety of reasons but i wanted to post once more before Christmas with Coloradolady/Suzanne. Check out her blog to see the other Vintage Thingies!

I posted the Christmas Gnomes/Elves that my mom FINALLY gave me from my childhood a few weeks ago. Here are a few other vintage ornaments from my tree. The old Christmas balls I got a decade ago at a yard sale and also have the same in pink, but chose not to do pink this year.

Here are two ornaments that we found when family went through my dear mil's belongings after her death a year and a half ago. My dh remembers them from his childhood.

And here is a funny elf in a sleigh, he is the same as the elves in the ornaments that I posted before from my childhood except in a sleigh instead of a kind of wire and mesh bower. His pine cone is missing tho so I have him sitting on a hazelnut until I find the right sized pine cone.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Face cups and Clowns for Vintage Thingies Thursday

I found these cute face cups in different yard sales/junk stores within several months of eachother 30 years ago. They were vintage then. I've never seen any since! The cute animal clowns I got at a yard sale this summer. The blue teapot in the background is also vintage, I think from the 1930s.
