In my Christmas decor post from this year, I noted that I had added more to my vintage Christmas cards collection. And as has been tradition (with a few exceptions) I’m bringing you another installment in sharing a sampling from my vintage Christmas card collection, including newly added ones! A special shout out to NeatoKeen…

November, much like October, flew by, and we had a lot of ups and downs, causing quite the delay in getting our home decorated for Christmas, but it is finally done, and ready to share with you all! Unlike previous years, where we tried to cram in our collection of aluminum trees, this year we…

Disneyland on Christmas Day

As per our tradition, Patrick and I spent Christmas Day at Disneyland. Last year I went with an extremely casual outfit, but this year I went rather extravagant. I’m sure some of you are probably familiar with the brand Selkie, which makes gorgeous fairy tale-esque dresses and other garments. This year they released a holiday…

It’s around this time of year that I share scans of my vintage Christmas card collection, but this year I thought I would do something a little different… As some of you know Patrick and I collect vintage souvenir photo folders from California night clubs and supper clubs, which I highlighted awhile back. In a…

Disney Animation, Christmas Cards and More at the Hilbert Museum

Awhile ago my friend Melissa of Amuseboosh introduced me to the Hilbert Museum, a stunning art museum right under my nose in nearby Orange, just blocks away from some of my favorite antique malls! Recently Patrick and I went, as they had several exhibits that were really interesting, including Disney art from the 1950s and…

Christmastime at Home

We are in December! It’s hard to believe that we are just 20 days away from Christmas! So it is time to share with you our home all decorated for the holidays! Between post-Anaheim Halloween Parade activities, and both Patrick and I getting a cold, we were slow to decorate, and we also chose to…

Festive Favorites

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, it’s the perfect time to once again share selections from my massive Christmas playlist! I’ve highlighted songs for those who live in warmer climates, cowboy tunes, and stuff that is just plain weird. Today I wanted to offer some of my personal favorites that are a little more traditional in sentiment, but…

Christmas Day Magic

Since moving to California, going to Disneyland Christmas Day has become a tradition for Patrick and I. It’s a day to soak up the festive sights and bites of the season and take it easy. For over a decade I’ve avoided sweatshirts, but recently I’ve embraced them. They give a layer of warmth, but without…
