A Vintage Christmas Vignette

Yesterday Judy and I received some presents from a reader. I have gathered most of mine here. The only thing I added was the green tree in the mug.

I remember these Santa mugs from my childhood.

Look at the sweet little bird house. So cute!

Hey there, Santa, looks like you’ve been around awhile!

I’m linking to Claudia’s A Favorite Thing (though there’s more than one thing here) at Mockingbird Hill Cottage.

  17. Those mugs look like they’ve had a lot of hot chocolate sipped from them! That cute birdhouse might look good on the birdhouse shelf in your bedroom. Actually, it will look good just about anywhere. How nice of someone to send these things to you. I love that yellow abd white glass in the background. What a nice pop of color.

  18. I remember that Santa mug from when I was young. Oh my gosh it’s more adorable now that I’m an adult. OK, an older adult :)

  19. How nice– everyone needs a Santa mug, right?

    Very sweet vignette. I have one of those old Santa mugs and I usually put candy canes in it.

    How sweet. I still have the Santa mugs we collected when our children were small. They are a bit worse for wear, but I would not take anything for them. Your vignette is darling. Merry Christmas.

  22. I love the way you used that santa mug.I used to have some little mugs like that one…and I used them at each place for candies and nuts. They are somewhere in the storage.

  28. I just bought one of the Santa mugs…now I need to find a tree! heehee! You are good, my friend! Always making things look so neat!

  29. Brenda your Christmas display makes one smile. My youngest daughter was born on Christmas day. After she was married I used to give her a Santa mug each year and by now I simple do not know how many she has but a few years ago she told me she didnot need anymore.

    Of course I sent her the picture of the Santa mug on it’s own with the addition of the tree (which I think is a great idea) that was your idea.

  30. Love the cute vignette. The Santa Mug is adorable. Love the tree inside of it. You are so creative!

  31. Lovely little treats. I love Santa mugs too! And the little tree is adorable.
