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!

I’m not certain I could choose one favorite thing about Christmas.. there are so many! The glow of Christmas lights has to be a major contender. Particularly turning on our Christmas tree color wheel each evening. It makes my heart happy!

One of my favorite Christmas memories is baking Christmas cookies. It was an all day event, involving seemingly every dish in the kitchen. My mom didn’t just bake one or two types of cookies; she filled enormous empty popcorn tins (appropriately emblazoned with santa claus, snowmen, cardinals, snowflakes, etc) with all kinds of cookies: soft, buttery spritz cookies in Christmas colors and shapes; crunchy anise-flavored springerly cookies stamped with images of grapes, wheat, fish, and starbursts; tender chocolate-almond stars which called for a whole can of almond paste and an entire chocolate cake crumbled into the dough (yes, they are worth it); sticky, chewy pecan puffs; pink, coconutty cherry nut drops studded with chopped maraschino cherries; brittle, spiced speculoos cookies; thick molasses cookies with in a cracked flour coating, and addictive cocoa-y rum balls that warmed our insides. By the end of the day, my mom, brother, me, and the dogs would all be thoroughly exhausted and covered with a light dusting of flour. These days, I still enjoy the ritual of baking cookies (though never have managed to pull off the marathon cookie baking quite like my mom) but give most of the cookies away as gifts, so I don’t end up eating them all myself ?

Getting together with friends, listening to a story being read by our host(ess), hot coffee or tea or chocolate, and exchanging small gifts. And of course a carry in dinner!

Once again, I’m watching the cars drive by the house with their Christmas trees tied to the roofs from the tree farm up the street, and it’s getting me in the mood!
