Vintage Christmas II

No matter where you are in your cancer journey, I hope that there is some peace and some joy in your life this holiday season.

I took some of my vintage cuties outside yesterday.


This little elf is new to me this year. I just love his sweet little face.







The rest of these have been with me since childhood. These little elves aren't even two inches tall. We used to have snowmen and angels, too - where are they now?

Santa pulling sleeping reindeer? Weird but charming. The reindeer lift off. I guess it's a candy dish or something like that.



And, if you are interested, here is last year's It's beginning to look a lot like (a vintage) Christmas post.

Cheers.

WOW. I find a lot of breast cancer jewelry to just be ho-hum, but this piece is gorgeous.

Here is the Etsy link to the pendant:
