A few faded pink vintage ornaments found at Gather last week.
Kate's first little pair of ballet slippers...
...loved and worn at age four as she twirled and danced
her days away.
I am looking forward to having her home
along with her big brother Dan on Christmas day.
I found this old postcard dated 1907 in a shoebox full of cards
from Mr. Flea's side of the family.
I love the message on the back to Miss Mary Coe...
"Eat all you can and get stout like this little girl".
:)
Oh dear, maybe not such good advice ...
In any case...Enjoy!
Merry Christmas!

Laura, I just picked up a bunch of vintage glass Christmas ornaments similar to these. I too love the faded out, softness they have! I can't wait to use them on next year's tree! However, in the meantime, I think they will be displayed in a bowl for the rest of this season ;)

You have a knack for seeing beauty ... for too many years, a lot of us threw out what was too old, or a little cracked and faded ... your photos are lovely and yes, that postcard!!!! it's such a treasure.
Merry Christmas, and may your 2011 consist of 52 great weeks!!
Your photos are beautiful as always, I love it when the paint is wearing off of the ornaments and they look well loved like your daughters shoes! The postcard is fabulous! Merry Christmas! Theresa xoxo
Dear Laura,
Such a perfect pink.....I am not a pink girl at all unless it is this rose, antique, vintage pink. Beautiful..... and Kate's ballet shoes are perfect.
Merry, merry Christmas to you and your family Laura. I hope that your mum is able to enjoy it and that you all have a special and magical time. With much love. XXXX
You have such a great eye for vintage beauty Laura! Merry Christmas!!
I'm crazy for soft tones - not much into sharp colors - although this year I filled a big glass footed jar with peacock feather tones and mini lights and it looks wonderful. Pretty as can be finds. Stop by some time at jennsthreegraces Jennifer Holiday Blessings
