Update: Congratulation to Richard, the happy winner of this wreath giveaway. His number came up in the random. Thanks, everyone,for playing, and super thanks to Suzy for helping with this giveaway this year! ENTRIES NOW CLOSED.
Howdy, hudee — it’s time for our most awaited yearly giveaway on the blog: One lucky winner will win this gorgeous vintage ornament wreath, handcrafted by the Queen o’ Ornament Wreaths, the original trendsetter, the talented Suzy a.k.a. GeorgiaPeachez herself! These wreaths sell out fast in GeorgiaPeachez’s shop, so this is your chance to get one of these coveted creations for yourself. Note: What with Pam’s trip to Pittsburgh and Thanksgiving upon us, we will be taking next week off. Happy happy, everyone — see you on the 30th.
As far as we know, Georgia Peachez was the pioneer of the vintage ornament wreath, and has honed her craft to perfection. There’s nothing quite like an original GeorgiaPeachez creation!
In the last few years, she’s even started creating non-wreath vintage goodies, such as arrangements made in vintage vessels like head vases, retro toys and Christmas ceramics, as well as dioramas made using the vintage ornament boxes. You can see a lot of her adorable creations on GeorgiaPeachez’s Facebook page. Bottom line, we just luv this lady!

My favorite part of the holidays is getting together with family, meeting and greeting everyone with a Merry Christmas – Happy Holidays, and seeing all the good stuff on Retro Renovation site. Love all the vintage ornaments and kitchens, things we saw when I was a kid.

Making peanut brittle using my grandmothers recipe. It makes me feel close to her. She died 21 years ago.
Natalie says
Now that we are parents, we love seeing the excitement on our son’s face as he rips opens presents. He’s still at the age where the gift doesn’t matter as much as ripping that paper. 🙂 I also really enjoy being creative and thoughtful with gifts for extended family members.

I love to sit at the antique table on a quiet winter night, remembering all those who had sat there through the years, while I address Christmas cards to those who still remain on this side of heaven. A few candles and a wood crackling in the fireplace make it a perfect evening
Adrienne Soule says
It seems so many traditions have fallen away as we’ve gotten older. We don’t send cards (people were like “a PAPER card?!”) and we don’t exchange gifts, and have no close family to visit. So I try to keep Xmas alive with deco! Wreath up every surface, two trees, and plenty of vintage blow mold for the windows. Peachez’s wreaths are truly the best touch of nostalgia!
Kathy in San Leandro says
So lovely! I like to decorate my tree with shiny ornaments that reflect and multiply the effect of the lights. Sparkly makes me happy.
Mary says
The way my home looks at Christmas. It’s a magical time of year!
Linda says
My favorite parts of the holiday are getting together with family to decorate the tree. I love getting out 36 years worth of ornaments and the memories that go with them!
Natalie says
My favorite part of Christmas is reliving my great childhood holiday memories through my kids; getting excited all over again preparing for Santa’s arrival and the sparkle in their eyes when they open that special gift from Santa.
