This time of the year, Red = Christmas! I started decorating about a week ago, and I'm almost positive that I'll be done by December 31st! So for the next few REDnesdays, I'll be sharing my progress.
My Santa mug collection, on the kitchen windowsill. It's official: no more room for Santa mugs on the windowsill! It's very liberating to know that a collection is complete, and you cannot and should not buy any more.
Little vintage bottlebrush wreaths, hanging from every knob on the kitchen cabinets.
One of my vintage aprons, with an elf peeking out of the pocket. I got lucky finding this apron, because I was smart and packed it away with all of the Christmas decorations. Finding the rest will unfortunately require tearing apart the cabinet holding all of the vintage linens. Darn! When will I learn?
I picked up this tablecloth at a thrift store, and this one I will cut up, to make kitchen curtains and a tree skirt.
I'm not done decorating the green cabinet yet. It will probably have nothing but vintage light-up stuff on it, but in the meantime I almost can't stand how great RED things look on that green cabinet! Ok, so that's how far I've gotten, and I've got a long way to go. As I unpack each box, all I can think is: I've got to pack all of this stuff up again in a month. Either I have way too much stuff, or I must be getting old, and I refuse to admit I have too much stuff!
If you would like to see more reds, head over to It's A Very Cherry World, where Sue hosts this fun party every week!

Oh Carol! You have some of the best and cutest vintage Christmas things!! Everything is so much fun! Oh, and by the way, your gift card is on the way!

Carol,
I love it all. I loved seeing my Grandma in her Christmas apron. I love your lighted bells. :)
Looks like Christmas is popping up everywhere around your house. Of course, the elf...my all time favorite!
I have such rich memories of hot chocolate in my little Santa mug. I sooooo believed in Santa for soooo long, tee hee..still do!
Soooo Long! Jacqueline
So much cuteness here today! I love vintage Christmas. Love your apron with the elf peeking out. Can't wait to see more.
I am so impressed, here it is the day before Thanksgiving and you have that much decorating accomplished. So cute and cheery, you have wonderful collectible Christmas decor.
What beautiful Christmas decorations! Your collection of santa mugs is too cute. We love that vintage apron!! We didn't start decorating yet but I think we will after Thanksgiving dinner! LOL...Can't wait!
Carol, I love the Santa Mugs-you can always move to a bigger windowsill. Hee, hee. Love the little wreaths-what a cute idea. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Wonderful Christmas decos and now I'm getting in the mood to drag those boxes from the basement...ugh I KNOW I'm getting old...harder and harder to bring up and down but I have to have my Christmas!
You must really be into Christmas to have started so early. I have a sister that way. In fact she leaves some of her things up all year. I do not do that anymore.
I think your decorating is coming along nicely. Love the top of the cabinet.

Carol, I love the red Christmas items!!Yes, red looks great on that cabinet.
I love that green colander, too. And the red rooster measuring spoon holder, and the apron with the elf. That is a CUTE idea!! My mom use to have several of the elves. I wonder whatever happened to them.
I can't wait to see more!!!

Hi Carol,
Love all of your Christmas things! It's always such a treat to visit you! Love that christmas apron, and how you have it displayed with the little elf peeking out. I have one from my mom I am going to get out. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Santa(s) look great on the windowsill! And I love the curtains. And I do love how the washer/dryer are tucked in that corner with the 'curtain' in front!
