Update 11/28: Congratulations to winner Ginny, who won when I spun the random! Thanks everyone for playing! Come back next year for Year #9!
[Entries now closed.] It’s the most wonderful time of the year — time again for a chance to win a vintage Christmas ornament created especially for Retro Renovation by the one and only Georgia Peachez. I commissioned this wreath from Suzy for our annual giveaway — our 8th, I went back and counted! Note: I’m taking Thanksgiving week off — this contest will stay at the top of the homepage all week. Have a wonderful week, everyone! Read on for how to enter:
As far as I know, Georgia Peachez was the pioneer of the vintage ornament wreath about 10 years ago, and has honed her craft to perfection. She started a phenom! There’s nothing quite like an original Georgia Peachez creation! Read on for the rules to enter — and note, you can enter here daily now through Monday, Nov. 26.
In the last few years, Suzy has also 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 and in her online shop. Bottom line, I just adore this artist and all she does!
How to enter to win this vintage ornament wreath made by GeorgiaPeachez:
- To win, you must be a subscriber to our newsletter (Yes, this is “what’s in it for the blog” — you can opt out at any time after the contest ends, or continue on for the stories and other, occasional giveaways.)

- You can enter once per day now through Monday, Nov. 26, 6 p.m., when entries close. (You only need to subscribe to the newsletter once, though!)
- U.S. lower 48 states only. (These limits are in place because shipping and customs get prohibitively expensive in particular considering the fragility of this product and how carefully it must be wrapped.)
- Repeat: Entries close on Monday, Nov. 26, 2018, around 6 p.m. Eastern — that is, I will close the Comments field at that time.
- Prize: There will be one winner. The winner will receive the vintage ornament wreath pictured above, made by the GeorgiaPeachez, mailed to you by Georgia Peachez.
- Pam will choose the winners via the Random Number Generator at random.org. I will check if the ‘winner’ is a newsletter subscriber. I will email the winner. [Tip: Be sure you enter your email address correctly in the email field of the Comment form.] The winner will have five business days to respond. If I do not hear from them, I will choose the next person after who commented. Lather, rinse, repeat. I will post the winner’s first name as soon as all is confirmed. Note, I ‘clean up’ all the comments before choosing. That is, if someone A replies to another’s comment within the same day that someone A entered, I take out A’s comment.
- Terms of use apply.
Many thanks to the fabulous GeorgiaPeachez!

My favorite part of the holidays is that my kids come in from both sides of the country so we are all together.
Sandra Camacho says
I love the lights and decorations. My daughter asked me why some people have their light and decorations up so soon. I told her, you do not know what some people are going through such as maybe they lost a loved one. I like to think the lights and decorations bring them a type of peace and calmness. I love it all because that is what it does for me also.

My favorite part of the Holiday season, is of course spending time with Family! Nothing is more important than those you love. I few years ago… I lost my mother and my sister, and my only niece, my sisters daughter all in a car crash. My life would forever change. It was difficult for the survivors and a few years after this, my brother took his own life. It’s been a difficult time. I not only changed things around me, but I decided to change my decor and I went vintage, to a time when things were easier, to a time when one could get lost in the Nostalgia of things. Vintage helps me to feel better. Well, this year, I’ve found out that I have a ‘new’ brother, from many years ago that we never knew about! How crazy is life!? He’s coming to visit this Thanksgiving and I get to meet him! His daughters look like my sister (their aunt) I’m crying as I write this…. Happy Holidays to everyone! Love all of your family and TELL them, everyday!

What’s not to love about Christmas! Christmas Eve starts with a small group of family and friends over for Chinese takeout, then we’re off to Midnight Mass. After mass another small group of friends, including some of my adult children’s childhood friends gather for a quick drink and snack before heading home. Christmas Day is all about family, a quiet day just us. The worst part, the next day when they all head home to the city:(

Mother made sticky buns with maple syrup, cinnamon and raisins. She rolled the homemade dough and spread the ingredients generously. So selicious hot, but wonderful, too, dipping the crusty bits in coffee. Love you Mom.

My favorite thing about Christmas is decorating the tree and looking at old ornaments and remembering the Christmases past.
