Right about now you may be thinking that you didn't know that Christmas was lost. lol!
No, it's not; and I realize it's a bit early to be thinking seriously about Christmas, but for some uncanny reason I have been finding lots of vintage Christmas at the thrift stores lately.
I found all of these cuties on our recent trip to New England. I snapped this photo in our resort and shared it on Instagram.
If you've ever been to my home at Christmas time then you know that Christmas décor is the last thing I need. I have no problem passing up on Christmas decorations in the store, but vintage Christmas is a whole other story.
I had taken photos of my recent Christmas finds before I left for New England but didn't get a chance to share them.
I love bells and boy did my heart skip a beat when I spied the red bells out in the yard area of our local thrift.
A $2 score and they light up! The white bell is flocked.
My mom always used Angel hair under her nativity and I don't think they make it any more. The glass topper will be added to my small collection.
Tinsel, Avon snow couple candles, and some cute cones made by the Midwest Company. I will be transforming them.
Three pack of candles, two pinecones napkin rings that I'll use in January and a few little figures that will be used in crafting.
The boxes were as sweet as the ornaments.
Well there you have it, a whole lot of Christmas finds. I may just have to lose a few of my other decorations this year. lol!
hugs,
Jann

Love the reindeer cutter! Scored all for $1.
A velvety brown and white ceramic deer.
Three pack of candles, two pinecones napkin rings that I'll use in January and a few little figures that will be used in crafting.
Who can pass up stars for Christmas? Two toppers and
3 jello molds.
Just need to add one more bulb to this candelabra.
I had to nab this fabric wreath. I remember making one very similar years ago. You just cut scraps of fabric with pinking shears, stick a pin in the middle and pin to a straw wreath. The two fabric balls were made in a similar manner. Not sure If I will transform them or use as is.
These were my favorite finds, before I found the treasures in New England. Eight darling Victorian ornaments.
They are all in mint condition. I plan on hanging them from a garland off of my living room mantle.
The boxes were as sweet as the ornaments.

Jann

Oh my goodness. You found some of the sweetest vintage Christmas goodies.
What a collection you have here. I'm old enough to remember everything ...just as you are showing it. Thanks for the reminisce and smiles, Sandi
Jann - What a collection you found!! I especially love the Victorian figurines. they are precious!
Judy
You found lots of cute vintage finds! Kinda gets you in the Christmas mood all of a sudden!
Jann,
Great finds. Memories of my childhood in this post. I recognize a lot of things that I had growing up.
Have a great Friday and wonderful week end.
Kris
I don't think you can have too much vintage Christmas decor, nope! Love your finds! I'm doing some junking tomorrow and my eyes will be searching for just the right vintage Christmas! Have a blessed upcoming weekend, Cindy
Wow, those certainly bring back some memories for me! Great finds Jann!
You are always on the hunt and finding the best things. How exciting to have the new things for Christmas.
Sweet collection, Jann....my eyes went right to the tartan and those adorable deer! Too cute. I just love Christmas! :)
I just love all the treasures you found. There's nothing like vintage Christmas, I could keep mine up all year long. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.
You totally scored while on your trip! I especially love the Victorian ornaments and I agree that the box is just as great! This year I'm so in the mood to get out Christmas and start decorating. I envy your creative Halloween home because I'm just not good at it. Yuletide treasures? I can't wait.
Hi Jann, you are showing what us bloggers have had on our minds since July! It's never to soon to show Christmas. I am in love with Victorian ornaments! Oh my . . . okay my heart is beating again. You really found some wonderful items, I'll bet it was a ball to go junk'n in a different part of the U.S. When you decide to open your store can I be the first to shop?! lol Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Jo
Fantastic vintage finds. My mom had a deer like the one you find. I remember those candelabras too. Never too early for Christmas.
Cindy
Great finds! I'm pretty sure the Avon snow couple are scented wax pomanders. The scent might be very faint now or absent but I have other Avon holiday wax pomanders and the Gingerbread couple still have some fragrance. They were ornaments and I have a tiny Cupid holding a heart for Valentines Day that is adorable.
Will be fun to see how you use them this year. Dee
I just love vintage Christmas too! I am very envious of those boy and girl figurines with the boxes! Although there is some nice (and expensive) reproduction Christmas décor out there, I still pass it by. I am slowly replacing all my stuff with vintage.
Hi Jann, What great finds! My favorite, of course, are the Victorian ornaments in those wonderful little boxes! So cute!
Love the Victorian ones! I am hoping to have a Christmas tree with all Victorian like ornaments, pink ones, and pink and white lights.
Oh my gosh Jann!
I love all of your Christmas finds! I too love Christmas décor and same goes here, I certainly don't need any more...but I just love it so much that I can't resist! And anything vintage is so much nicer than new. I just love those Victorian ornaments and the boxes are so pretty they can be displayed too! Love the tree topper and the star tree toppers! All so pretty.
And it's never to early to think about Christmas! I have sugar plums in my head all year! ;)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs, Kimberley
What great finds. I especially like the Victorian ornaments. They are wonderful -- as are their boxes! How fun seeing everything that you've collected.
Oh my word you found some lovely things. I love the little tartan suitcase and the deer. I can't wait till it's time to pull the trees and decs from the loft...... not long now. x
Wow! You've been lucky Jann, vintage fun is the best fun. I adore those cookie cutters.
Amalia

Wow you really scored some fun vintage pieces for Christmas. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them!
Jann, LOVE all of your fun Christmas finds! Those sweet Victorian ornaments--swoon! Thank you for sharing @Vintage Charm! Hugs, Cecilia
Those are all darling. The ornaments look like Bethany Lowe a company that makes reproduction styles. Very cute snow angels. I love the plaid lunch box. I just found one that is a picnic box in the plaid and I will use it for Christmas. Fun stuff!
Jann,
you found the cutest vintage Christmas stuff! That little deer is adorable, they are one of my favorite things, needless to say, I have quite a few! I'm with you, I can't resist vintage Christmas either!
Rebecca
I have been working on crafts for Christmas and sort of ,well, Christmas obsessed lately. Love the ornaments and I agree the boxes are as darling as the ornaments themselves. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for hosting!
