Vintage Disney

I LOVE Disney. Everything classic Disney just thrills me to the gills!  I've been to a Disney park every year for the last 29 years, and some years more than once!

If you want to discuss all things vintage Disneyland, there's a fantastic group dedicated to sharing photos, and memories of Disneyland's first 50 years, on Facebook.

Today I thought I'd share some classic, and not so old but classic looking, Disney posters.  You can see more of them on my Pinterest board here.

Mr. and I were gifted tickets to our local theater's production of Harvey a couple of months ago.

Vintage Christmas DIY

This week, I'm sharing some vintage Christmas DIY projects I've pinned on Pinterest.  My mom collected vintage Christmas goodies before they were called "vintage", with a hefty price tag.  Those days it was just called old junk. Seeing vintage Christmas ornaments, plastic figurines, glittery paper mache snowmen, vintage artwork, and holly strewn tablecloths brings back a lot of memories!

The pretty gingerbread house artwork above came from Free Pretty Things For You.  Click on the pictures below to go to each DIY web page. (Links will open in a new window.) 

Loving Green!

Green...I LOVE green, and red, and brown, and buttery yellow.  Those are my favorite colors!

My Vintage Favorites

I've been stalking various vintage inspired blogs, Facebook groups, and other corners of the internet.  Some just aren't my style, but like every excavation there will be more rocks than gems. A few are truly kindred spirits!  I thought I'd share my favorites here, in no particular order...

Jump into Vintage Day 6

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our men and women serving in the armed forces! Your sacrifices of family time, hard work, and in some cases health, is very much appreciated.

Today was 30's inspired hair, by default.

Jump into Vintage Day 5

It's my day off work. I'm cleaning, working on May's house projects, wet setting my hair, and staying in my pj's all day!  I thought I'd share pictures of last week's vintage week prep thrift store finds. I stopped at 4 thrift stores and 2 yard sales over the course of last week in preparation for my jump into vintage style.

Jump into Vintage Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of my vintage inspired journey! 

Jump into Vintage Day 1

I must admit, I've gone overboard for vintage.  Specifically the 1940's.  Well, I've always loved all things Victorian, 1930's, 40's, and 50's but now I'm interested in spending some time and effort to emulate a vintage inspired look on a regular basis, and on a tight budget. I'm going to Jump into Vintage every day this week!
