Vintage Christmas Decorations and Childhood Memories

If you had to pick a favorite holiday would it be Christmas? I think many people would say yes as we all have childhood memories of that holiday. Christmas is probably the one holiday that parents spend the most time on making special for their kids.  Like most families we would have special meals, family traditions, relatives visiting, decorations and of course presents.

In our family we had the same decorations that we used year after year. Some new ones were added of course but many were handed down from my grandparents.  We have ornaments on our tree now that my parents used on their tree and they sure do bring back memories. Was it that way at your house?

Today many people have lost those special Christmas decorations and ornaments along the way. We love vintage Christmas items and collect as well as sell them so others can add to their collections.

If you are looking for vintage Christmas decorations please stop by our eBay or Etsy store and check out our items. We have boxes of items to list and are listing new ones each day.

So do Vintage Christmas Decorations bring back childhood memories for you?

Do Vintage Christmas Ornaments Have Special Memories For You?

Do you decorate a Vintage Christmas Tree? I can remember hanging plastic ornaments much like these on my tree growing up. In fact I think these were often the ones we were allowed to hang up first since they were plastic and wouldn't break like the glass balls that covered most of our tree. We had to wait until we were older to hang the important Christmas ornaments.

My sister is younger then I am and I was so happy when I was able to help hang the glass ornaments and how grown up I felt. She on the other hand was still only allowed to hang the plastic ornaments. This would always caused a discussion on her part on why I could hang the glass ones and she couldn't. It is amazing how looking at these ornaments could bring back those memories. 

I still have a few of these Christmas ornaments on my tree today and if you would like to hang this on your tree you can find them on eBay in my store. I am adding more vintage Christmas items regulaso check back often or sign up for our newsletter.

Did You Have a Vintage Tree Topper On Your Christmas Tree?

When I  was growing up Christmas time and all the family traditions were very important. We all loved decorating the Christmas Tree and putting the tree topper on the tree was a very important job. Putting our angel on the top and stringing the lights were my dad's job the rest was left up to the kids. We had the same angel on our tree year after year like many families. This is just one of many Christmas traditions for many families including my own.

This cute Angel Tree Topper is listed on eBay and you can see she how pretty she is lit up. She measures about 8 inches high and would look adorable on any Christmas Tree. You can see the rest of the pictures on the listing.

We have many vintage Christmas collectibles in our store Book Corner Cafe n More so stop by today. We also are listing more items every week.

Does Christmas Bring Back Memories of Your Childhood?

Christmas is such a magical time for kids and I have fond memories of each and every Christmas. It was a time when the whole family got together with huge meals and lots of presents. Even today the Christmas season is very special to me and so are the many vintage decorations I put out each year. I have a Santa like this one that was my great grand mom's and I see her when I look at my Santa.

Do you have vintage holiday decorations that bring back memories? Often these types of decorations are handed down over the years and kept in the family. When I saw this Santa I had to list him in hopes he finds a family to spend years with and make great memories.

He stands about a foot tall with a cotton beard and black boots that have Japan stamped on the bottom. He is listed in my newly opened Etsy store and that store may in fact become a vintage Christmas store.

Rememeber These Vintage Christmas Tree Ornaments?

My favorite time of year is the Christmas season and decorating the tree tops my list of things to do. In fact in our house I decorate both a large live tree and an artificial one with vintage ornaments. The boxes show signs of use but every year these ornaments are taken out  and carefully hung on the tree. I love the look of these long handing ornaments and they contrast with all the typical round glass balls.

I have a set of these that were my grandmom's and they are always on my tree. I found these at an estate auction and was really tempted to keep them but decide to list them. I hope someone else can enjoy these vintage Christmas ornaments on their tree.

Does Your Vintage Christmas Tree Need Lights?

My favorite holiday is Christmas and my favorite thing to do is decorate. I enjoy doing the whole house and put up 2 artificial trees and a real one every year. I have been sorting through some of my vintage Christmas items and I am listing them for sale. I have enough to decorate at least 10 trees so I know it is time for some of the items to find a new home.

Here is a set of vintage Christmas Lights that are in working condition and in the original box. The box of course has seen better days but it is the original box and I kept them in this box for many years. Actually I love these older large bulbs so much more then today's tiny lights. One reason being it is so easy to replace a bulb on these where it is often easier to toss the other ones out and buy new.

So if you are looking for a nice working set of Vintage Christmas Lights they are up for auction this week. You can see the listing and also additional  pictures including one that shows the lights lit up. You can also find other vintage Christmas items for sale in my eBay Store Book Corner Cafe n More.

Did Your Vintage Christmas Tree Have a Star or an Angel on the Top?

When we were growing up there was always a lit star like this one on top of our Christmas Tree. When I met my husband his Christmas tree always had an angel on top. Do you remember what was on the top of your tree?

I thought everyone put a star on the top of their tree but for the last 28 years there has been an angel on the top of my tree. She is a very pretty angel I must say.

I love decorating and also put up an artificial tree and that one gets the star our live tree gets the angel. I have a few vintage tree toppers that I found and you can find them on eBay.

So do you have a star or an angel on your tree?

Vintage Ceramic Christmas Tree Music Box

I love Christmas and holiday decorating is one of my favorite things to do. Thanksgiving weekend is spent enjoying the holiday then taking down and putting up decorations.

Each year I look for new decorations to add and I am always on the lookout for Vintage Christmas Decorations. I found this Ceramic Christmas Tree Music Box and decided to list it for sale. I made a few of the ceramic trees when I took ceramic classes and so I really didn't have room for this music box. The hardest thing for me to do is to list some of these Christmas items I find.

Ceramic Christmas Tree Music Box

It is quite a pretty piece and plays music and the Santa and Snowmen spin. I've listened to the music quite a few times and I am just not sure exactly what song it is playing but it is pretty.

If you would like to add this beautiful Ceramic Christmas Tree to your collection you can find it listed on eBay. I also have listed other Vintage Christmas items in my eBay Store.

Vintage Glass Christmas Tree Ornaments

I am sure you all remember the boxes of beautiful Glass Christmas Tree Ornaments we all hung on our Christmas trees. This is a box of the type of ornaments I had to wait to hang on my tree until I was a older. These have a fine gold netting around the balls which sparkle when the Christmas lights are lit. My mom would fill the tree with many glass ornaments that held special memories.Today many of those vintage ornaments have been passed on to my sister and I and they now hang on our trees each year.

This set of Glass Ornaments is listed in my store on eBay if you would like these to be on your tree on Christmas morning.
