Vintage Poodle Christmas Gift Wrap

One of my favorite things to find while I'm out thrifting is vintage wrapping paper. Last week I stopped at Salvation Army and found an entire unopened package of vintage Christmas wrapping paper. One of the sheets inside was this -- vintage poodles!! I immediately fell in love, because POODLES!! I love poodles, especially vintage poodles. But Christmas poodles? Be still my heart! This wrapping paper is going into my "keep forever and ever" pile. I can't even bring myself to use it, but I very well may frame it and hang it on the wall somewhere!!

My Vintage Inspired White Christmas Tree

Hey folks. It's beginning to look like Christmas here in our house. Well, at least in my office anyway. Aside from feeling like I've got an annex of Santa's workshop due to my constant glittering of tags and cards and listing awesome vintage goodies, I have managed to get my tree up!! 

I say it every year, but I am IN LOVE with my white tree, covered in tons of vintage ornaments, dripping in pastel pinks, greens and blues. I love love love it. I could keep it up year round and never tire of seeing it. 

I've been lucky enough to snag some special new-to-me vintage ornaments this year: some Shiny Brite unsilvered lanterns, a whole box of Shiny Brite indents, a couple of West Germany tear drop shapes. And thankfully, I have only had one ornament fatality so far, though I have 3+ trees to go so I may have to amend this at a later date!! 

I am so excited to decorate for Christmas this year. It feels awesome having a house big enough to accommodate all of my treasures. I'll be back soon to share pictures once I've decked the halls. 

Vintage Tinsel Tree Toppers

Hey folks!! Finally unpacking some treasures I've been acquiring over the last year or so. Today I listed all of these awesome vintage tinsel Christmas Tree toppers in my etsy shop, Very Kitschy Christmas. What a great addition to your mid century tree, or to use in other crafts, like super kitschy wreaths. Check the shop for other new listings -- lots of new merchandise is heading that way this week. 

Christmas Countdown - 51 Days

Hey folks!! The countdown is well under way for those of us that LOVE Christmas. It's only 51 short days until the big day. Can you believe it? I say it every year, but this year has FLOWN by. 

In preparation for the big day, I've been a busy little elf here in my studio, cranking out tons of vintage-inspired tags to stock my Etsy shop: Very Kitschy Christmas . 

This year, I've added a new line of matching cards for some of the tag designs. Each card is printed on heavy cardstock and is embellished with glitter. There is ample room inside to write a nice note to your friends and family. The cards measure a generous 4.25" x 5.5" and come with envelopes, of course!! 

As time permits, I am adding new designs in both tags and cards to offer a greater variety of retro goodness for Christmas packages. And as always, I am stocking my shelves with lots of great vintage product too -- ribbon for tying on packages or making bows, vintage ornaments for adorning your tree, vintage invitations for holiday parties, and so much more! 

If you aren't already following my Christmas shop on Instagram, I invite you to do so. I have some exclusive coupon codes planned for the next few weeks that will only be available on Instagram. You can find me there using @verykitschychristmas.
