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.)
- To enter, use the Comment field on this post below and tell us what is your favorite part of the holiday season. Or whatever, we’re easy.
- 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!

Everything!

Memories of my parents and how special they made the holidays.
Tristan Robin Blakeman says
WoW – my third day of favorite thing of the holidays. Okay, I’ve covered decorating my home and receiving snail mail Christmas cards. My next favorite thing – and maybe I should have even put it first on my list! – is our annual Christmas Eve/Christmas Day classic holiday movie marathon. On Christmas Eve, we watch Christmas in Connecticut, Remember the Night, Holiday Affair and Miracle on 34th Street. On Christmas Day we watch A Christmas Carol, Meet Me in St. Louis, It’s a Wonderful Life, It Happened on Fifth Avenue, and and Mr. Magoo’s A Christmas Carol. We’ve had the same marathon for 19 years – this will be our 20th!
And, once again, thanks for the opportunity to win the uber fab wreath!

Tristan, your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day sound a lot like mine! I wasn’t familiar with Rememberer the Night, Holiday Affair, and It Happened on Fifth Avenue until a few years ago. IIRC, Remember the Night was a favorite of the late Robert Osborne although his most favorite Christmas film was The Shop Around the Corner. I need to add that (TSAC) to my collection. I already have a copy of You’ve Got Mail which is pretty much a remake of TSAC.
The mention of tutus by a previous poster reminds me that I loved those Christmases where my youngest daughter was in “Nut”.

I love this year’s Georgia Peachez wreath. I’ve never won anything but I have entered the contest daily. Will you sell me one of your creations, Pam, if I don’t win Suzy’s creation!? ha! H By the way, Love your blog. My 1953 childhood home is mostly original still, same crank-out windows, cinder block, aluminum storm door with curlicue design across it. Found it in attic, my dad had saved it and it’s been back up for several years now. Dad lived her 64 years so the house has a sacred quality to me!!! Still have same phone number, etc! Have a wonderful day. Enjoying the Xmas comments from everyone!

Looking at outdoor (home and municipal) decorations is a fun, after-dark activity. People are creative, subdued, colorful, you name it!

I love the manger scene at Christmas – I have mine from childhood and it is so special to me.
