A DEBBIE-DABBLE CHRISTMAS: 2020

Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!

I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!

I want to mention that since Blogger changed to a new format for posting, if you can click on each picture if you care to enlarge it......

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

I have a special treat for you today......

I am sharing my dear friend Anne Marie's home decorated for Christmas.....

Even though we were unable to visit each other this Holiday Season, she was gracious enough to send me pictures so I could still do my annual post of her Christmas Home Tour!!

Anne Marie went in a different direction with her decorations this year and created a truly Vintage Christmas in her home....

I will let the pictures do the talking except for Anne Marie's descriptions which I put in quotes.....

The Front Door

"Arrangement in antique trophy cup by front door on plant stand"

An Antique Hall Tree

"Hard plastic angel ornaments on tree from the 40’s/Germany"

"3 more of my childhood cards. A book from 1906 called the Christmas Token. 4 angels with instruments from 40’s/Germany"

The Living Room

"The staircase with the light and post"

"The girl moves her arms. She’s vintage"

"That vase under the dome is made by Franz. I was in Plains Antiques a while back. It was $55 with 20% off so I paid 44+ tax. And I found it on Etsy for $360.

" Sofa table"

"Pipe cleaner candy canes"

"Antique books"

"St Nicholas Story with candy canes from my childhood"

"It opens up like a pamphlet"

"The chair that has the top hat the postcard and Holly cup and saucer is in a little corner at the back of the sofa"

"Side by side"

"On top, the deer are vintage and I used fresh greens and bird nests"

" The only thing vintage on the inside is the shelf with snow and 2 Santa’s"

Anne Marie has quite a collection of vintage Funeral Baskets

"Just some nesting boxes that have antique Christmas pictures on them"

"The pump organ"

" Fresh greens"

The TV Entertainment Center

"These are all vintage Lefton or Napco figurines in my wall unit where TV is"

"My mother’s Thomas Kinkade tree"

" All plates are antique"

In the corner of the Living Room......

"Santa moves both arms and head. He sits on a chimney. He’s from 50’s"

"Reproduction Feather Tree"

"All vintage ornaments and topper and tree skirt"

"Candle lights"

"This is the wagon that I have at the base of the tree"

" I have one of my antique dolls in her winter coat and hat"

" The muff is an antique children’s muff that belonged to someone’s grandmother when she was a child"

"I just had that little carousel, Victorian puzzle and a wooden Santa box"

" This is a Victorian block puzzle. In it’s original case. Depending on how you turn the blocks you can make all those different pictures. I have it in the wagon at the base of the tree"

The Dining Room

This is an antique Victrola

" My stockings hanging"

"Stocking from my first Christmas. My Godmother knitted it."

Yes, she has a fire place in her Dining Room!!!

"Couldn’t believe my Mom saved them"

"Found them in the attic after Dad passed away"

"Mostly holly items. All antique or vintage"

"Vintage Noel candles"

"Silver antique holly trinket box"

"That little nut/candy dish and the single chocolate cup and saucer that has the green background and the holly on it is called T & V Limoge Holly. It’s my favorite and it’s very hard to find and when you do it can be a little pricey that’s why I only have those two pieces.

"The big white pitcher with the holly berries is a Homer Laughlin antique pitcher"

"1877 Christmas silver case. For calling cards?"

Instead of doing a Christmas tablescape this year, Anne Marie did something a bit different this year....

"Antique ice skates"

"Fresh greens underneath silver tray"

"antique cabinet picture a few vintage ornaments"

"Vaseline glass pitcher set"

"Rosenthal deer figurine from 50’s"

"2 holly books in China cabinet one by Dickens, one by Tennyson."

"My wash stand"

The Kitchen

"Vintage style chocolate Santa with some vintage wrapped candy bars in silver cup"

"The Santa is from 30’s/40’s. His belly opens and his head nods. It’s a candy container/Germany."

"Antique paper mache boot candy container"

"Old Christmas bulbs"

"Ceramic tree my Mom made in 70’s"

OMG!!!!

I love the bird lights on this tree, don't you?????

Okay, don't you agree that Anne Marie did an incredible job creating a truly Vintage Christmas in her home this year....

I only wish I could have seen it in person because I am sure it was even more spectacular!!!

And I will end this home tour with Anne Marie and Tony's precious baby girl......

Autumn!!!

I hope we can dress our little grand pup Faye up like that for the Holidays when she stops teething!!!!
