Unfortunately I don't think I will be doing Kitschmas this year. Not because I am Bah Humbug or anything...it's because of *"Milo the Monster"* and the potential he has for the destruction of my Kitschmas decor. I can just see him now swatting at vintage ornaments and breaking them. I already lose a few each year to my adult cats. I could just imagine the damage those little clawed paws could do! Oh the HORROR! Since it's been snowing here all day, I've been in a Kitschmas kinda mood. So, here's some various pictures of Kitschmas in Deluxville 2008!!
Tomorrow I will tell you all about the freezing 5 hours I spent outside at an auction. Why yes, I'm crazy!
*kittens are evil!!
wow! I love it! wish I could have christmas over at your place :p
ReplyDeleteyes you are crazy and we love you for it!
ReplyDeleteWow your house is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take you to collect all the stuff to get it looking so great?
*Gasp* Kitschmas! I love it! And I love that dress you're wearing in the third picture. It's just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDD...come on over doll, I'll whip up some egg nog!
ReplyDeletePhenolicfanatic ...hehehehe crazy like a loon.
Claire...well lets see I'm 37...wore vintage clothing in high school and collected little things...when I moved out of my parents place in my early 20's that's when I began collecting EVERY type of vintage thing out of necessity. I was poor and finding a 40's/50's sofa at Goodwill was easy and cheap. Plus I liked the look. Some people change their style often...I have been stuck with this style for a very long time!
Paige...Thank you...that dress is one of my favorites found all wrinkled in a wad at the bottom of a plastic bin. $11 and fit like a dream...now it way to big and I can't wear it anymore :(.
Wowee, i love your living room, i'd love one like that! And the cardi you're wearing is divine, along with the shelving behind you which is very niiiice :)

ReplyDeleteI love vintage Kitschmas ornaments too but I completely understand about cats. My two are now old and lazy, but I remember when they were kittens; they were little trapeze artists. I lost quite a few lovely things that first year :(
