Vintage Christmas Monday


I found several of these vintage boxes many years ago, and have used them in many different ways.  Most recently, I had made small gifts for a group of friends and needed a creative way to wrap them....So, I carefully took one of the boxes apart and photocopied it onto card stock paper, cut them out, and had  the cutest packaging!  Unfortunately, my pictures don't do the graphics justice..



I love these little 3" vintage stockings!


A collection of small vintage toys.  The red bell is heavy metal with perfectly aged and distressed original red paint.  The dice is made of celluloid.


Thank you Joan at Anything Goes Here, http://thepottingshed-anythinggoeshere.blogspot.com/2009/11/vintage-christmas-monday-blog-party.html, for hosting Vintage Christmas Monday.  Be sure to visit to see all the participants.

I am going to be selling the box, stockings and toys in my Etsy shop.

    That box is so perfectly vintage! I love it, and those old toys are so great too, especially that top. I think I had a red one when I was little!
    Happy Vintage Christmas Monday!

    Great idea for the box ... my in-laws have a box they give my husband every year {for the past 40!!} it is so torn and tattered maybe I'll snatch it this year and use your idea ... then our son can have his very own box like Daddy's!!

    Thanks for sharing!

    I like your idea of making a photocopy of the box....very smart!!
    The old toys have vintage written all over them.
    Look forward to seeing what else you'll be showing.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. To get the snow I googled snow on blogs and went from there. It was easy I just can't tell you where I found it.
    Good luck!

    I love all your vintage treasures. The baby socks are precious!! The tinsel story reminds me of how we uses to grab handfuls to put on the tree~it turned out really bad!! My Mom would go back and separate some of it!! And the boxes look familiar!!

    I remember how heavy that old tinsel used to be, I used to love squishing it together..hehehe. I think the Santa is cute, he has a very detailed look about him.
