More Vintage Christmas

I thought I would share some more
of my vintage Christmas collection.


I have an old toy red wagon
that I fill with old Santas and toys.
I found this Santa doll and the light up star this year while thrifting.




Doesn't he have a sweet face?


I found these ornaments
in their original box this year.


This vintage Santa was found for a mere $1.99.


I have so much fun getting out all the decorations and finding new ones to add to my growing collection.  It's almost a shame that there is such a short time to enjoy them before they are put away until next Christmas.

xo,
Danielle

What a fun collection! Do you leave them right in the wagon and at the end of the season wheel them into a closet?

Your Santa doll really does have a sweet face, unlike a few I've met.

Love your vintage Santas! I have always been drawn to vintage items, especially at Christmas. I think its because it reminds me of Christmas at Grandma's. Have a wonderful holiday!

I think using the red wagon to display your vintage Christmas collection is brilliant. Looks like Santa's elves popped by your place. :-)

You have the best Santa collection ever. I love that you corraled them in an old wagon, too cute! Two of the Santas remind me of the ones my mother had when we were growing up. Oh, thanks for the memories!
