Having completed 2/3 of my Christmas decorating, I admit to the fact that my most favorite décor is red and green (with touches of gold) – this is the standard with which I have grown up (with one diversion many, many moons ago when aluminum trees were the rage.) When I was purchasing decorations for my own home the first time, I managed to find some lovely traditional style seasonal cheer. I admit, these were purchased decades ago and they still have an allure for me. They were quality decorations; I have packed, repacked and moved them over a few decades. Yes, I adore the contemporary decorations….the ideas, the charm, the creativeness….all gorgeous. But, I would need a separate storage space for all those lovely decorations if I kept up with all that is offered. (Oh, not to mention winning the lottery would help.) In spite of this, I have come to the conclusion, that my decorations are vintage, yep, vintage. This fits, indeed, they fit into my vintage home décor. I live in a vintage house, built in the early 70’s. Yes, I do have several new pieces of furniture and/or accessories and have contemporary amenities, but most of my things are, yes, vintage. These, too, have followed me over eight moves. I like them, they are comfortable, and they are my connection to whatever heritage I have. And, of course, they are appropriate; because, after all I am vintage.
