Still unpacking and going through my mom's ornaments. Everything here predates me except for the ornament hangers and Spode serving bowl and I'm definitely vintage, so these must be too then LOL. I found my mom's vintage tablecloth - it's really too small for my table but I'm going to pretend it's not!
Everytime I go to my father's house, I go through my mother's things. I always find fun vintage goodies! How fortunate you are to have your mother's vintage Christmas ornaments! I love them all! :)

Hi Denise! Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comment. My mother passed away many years ago now but I couldn't bear to go through her things until my dad passed away last year. It's been quite a journey.
DeleteMerry Christmas!
What a coincidence we shared the same Santa. Mine has a blub that lights up where yours is holding something else. They are definitely vintage.
ReplyDeleteHi LV! Isn't that fun that we shared the same Santa! Two great minds with a single thought as they say. ;) I'm going to try and research and find out what the original bulb was - my mom may have just stuck a bubble light in there but it's all I recall ever seeing.
DeleteMerry Christmas!
Beautful vintage ornaments from your mom and now a heirloom! They remind me of C'mas...of the real ones from way back...they were real to me when I was a little girl.Thank you for your sweet visit to me, you always make my day!

Hi Fabby! Thank you so much for visiting and your sweet comments, you are such a dear soul. Christmas is so very magical and mystical when we are small, isn't it?
DeleteWishing you a Merry Christmas!
I love your Mom's ornaments!! Very German or European!!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan! Thank you for your sweet comments - gosh, I wish I knew the origins but I sure don't. I think you may be right about the wax ornaments having a German heritage? I do love them all but then they transport me back to those days of wonder as a child. :)
DeleteMerry Christmas!
Put your mother's tablecloth on top of a plain tablecloth that fits your table. Works for me!
ReplyDeleteHi Annie! I had the same thought - I'm going to make it work somehow, I love the cloth. The funny thing is that I can't imagine what table my mother used it on, it would have never fit the dining room table I remember - perhaps it's from when it was just my mom and dad, starting out?
DeleteMerry Christmas!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful....as always Sally.
ReplyDeleteHi Pam! You're a sweetie, thank you!
DeleteWishing you a wonderful Christmas!
Just me again to answer your question. I am not sure, but tend to think it was like yours.
ReplyDeleteHi LV! So nice of you to come back - I'm still smiling over our sharing the same Santa. I think I'm going to put on my sleuthing cap, I'm so curious now!
DeleteMerry Christmas!
Love that Santa and the Santa mugs. Who cares if the tablecloth is too small-I would use it and enjoy it. Cute things today!
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie! That's so sweet of you, you have the most darling things, and I so appreciate that. Yessiree, I'm going to enjoy the cloth, I just love it and somehow it's going to work out. :)
DeleteMerry merry Christimas!
I remember those Santa mugs, had some----why did I ever get rid of them? I guess we don't appreciate vintage until it's vintage!
ReplyDeleteHi Betty Lou! My mother had more of the mugs but the glaze was coming off in sharp bits and I gave them away - ooof! I could kick myself for that - vintage and chippy and I let them go. WAH!
DeleteMerry Christmas!
I am in heaven! I love absolutely everything, especially the mugs . Keep it coming!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays,
Erica
Hi Erica! That's so sweet of you, thank you! I'm such a dodo, I wish I had kept all of my mom's mugs. WAH!
DeleteMerry Christmas!
I agree with the other Erica! lol
ReplyDeleteEvery single piece is great! What sweet treasures to remember your Mother by.
Erica :)
Hi Sally Annie,
ReplyDeleteIf I could decorate my whole house with vintage ornaments, I would be a very happy 'hohoho' homeowner! Lucky you, enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by, so nice to 'meet' you!
Happy weekend,
Poppy
