I know: According to authentic retro etiquette, it’s way too early to talk Christmas decorations. But if you are thinking about doing fabulous things with vintage Shiny Brite ornaments, you only have so many days left to ornie-hoard and hot-glue. Or… if you know you are never gonna get this crafty yourself — here’s your chance to win our super famous annual giveaway: A vintage Shiny Brite ornament wreath made by the the queen of Shiny Brite crafting, the talented and generous Georgia Peachez. WOOT!
Every year, as a gift to readers, I buy a wreath from Suzy aka Georgia Peachez for this giveaway. Thank you, readers, for being THE BEST. I luv you! Suzy always jumps to help out. She gave me a great price (her wreaths now sell for $250! each!) — and quick as I asked, she made this special wreath just for us. She said:
Pam, I made a wreath with my two favorite elements, a knee hugger elf and a reindeer.
Heck to the yeah, knee hugger elf and reindeer! Thank you, Suzy!

I treasure the time with family and doing the daily advent calendar activities with my youngest son.

What a cool wreath. I remember some of the shiny ornaments on my families tree. But what I really remember is the plastic deer on our fireplace. My husband brought the elf to our tree 27 years ago. I am a retro girl with my mother canister set to my Coca Cola collection. It would be great to win such a beautiful wreath. Merry Christmas.

may favorite part is when the decorations are FINALLY up and all the packing boxes are back in the garage and i can finally kick back on the couch with nothing but the lights from the tree and mantel.

Just living in our mid century modest 1952 house makes me happy. Took me 60 yrs to return to a simplier way of living and decorating.
Thank you Pam for your website….I check it every day
I would never tire of gazing at one of those beautiful vintage inspired wreaths.

Baking loads of Christmas cookies and my grandma’s pecan pie for family and friends is my favorite part of the holiday season. My husband is a professional chef, however, he does not like to bake. Christmas time is my time to shine in the kitchen! By eliminating the Christmas chaos as much as possible, we are able to share our culinary talents with our nearest and dearest and not feel pressured.

Oh, I love when my out of town family comes home and we spend time with each other making new memories with their kids and remembering past holidays…dessert is pretty great too!

Christmas is always time for me to reminisce, pulling out the old ornaments and talking about people who are no longer with us. I tell my kids about the fabulous Christmas displays that used to be in stores and on houses that had a kind of charm that LED lights and blaring music can’t replicate.
Looking at this wreath reminds me so much of childhood Christmases, so long ago. Sweet!

My favorite part of Christmas break is the week I get to be at home with my kids!
Those wreaths are beautiful!

My husband and kids and I love the tradition of having the kids wait in the hallway off the foyer behind the shuttered door s while we get the camcorder set up to tape them coming in the living room to see what santa brought on Christmas morning.They have done this since they were 4 and 20 months old (they are 10 and 13 now) and I think it is still just as fun for them!

My favorite part of the holidays is my grown kids coming home from NYC and staying for a handful of days. We crowd on the couch and watch movies, cook together, shop and basically just hang out as a family. And this year they’re bringing a grand puppy!!
