I just finished up decorating in the den.
I have a Christmas bird theme on my snowshoe shelf.
I have decorated around my collectible vintage toys on the other side of the den's built-in shelves.
The vintage car has a bottle brush tree tied on top. I saw this around blogland and Pinterest this season. Santa is not old, just vintage look.
Some of my Chinese checkerboards are in an old toolbox. That's Vogue's Ginny by the Scrabble game.
These vintage dolls were my childhood dolls.
My vintage Tonka dump truck has snowballs made in an older post.
The top shelf has a wire basket with croquet balls and an old metal top. Another Chinese checker board is on the top shelf with marbles, a vintage metal crayon container and an old Coca Cola Christmas tin pail.
The globe, US map pillow (with 48 states) and the basket are all vintage.
I love my old toys!

ReplyDeleteI love those little felt birds, too! It goes without saying that the vintage toys would be right at home in my house. You're lucky to have all those built-in shelves to decorate!
ReplyDeleteI love the car with the tree tied on top!!!! Too cute!!! And the old metal crayon holder...never saw one before. And, yes, me too...love those felted wool birds. Are those new this year? I think i might be able to figure out how to make then but will I? Probably not! LOL! You are such an awesome decorator you should hire out! Happy Holidays!

Love all your old toys! And wow, totally in love with your snowshoe shelf...the bird theme works so well with it, too. To me cardinals say Christmas.
