I miss these two. They were wonderful people. My grandfather and grandmother lived to serve others and were some of the happiest people I’d ever known.
I’m lucky that I get to use my grandfather’s desk. From writing to running my vintage shop on Etsy, that desk takes care of me.
Also, with the crazy heat we’ve been having, I’m thinking cool thoughts. And by cool I mean Christmas. This photo is from the late ‘70s.
I love that flocked tree and the slight blurriness of the photo. I also love my grandma's sweater set. This photo is quintessential vintage and I love it since it’s the middle of summer.
We're going to be about 112 degrees today, in Northern California, so this post is about Christmas in July.
Ten Ways to Bring in Christmas in July:
- Make a Christmas Baked Good: Get creative. Think peppermint or Ginger.
- Start your Christmas List: Seriously, Christmas will be here before you know it.
- Watch a Christmas Movie: You do know Hallmark shows Christmas shows year-round, right?
- Listen to Christmas Music: Elvis Christmas, here I come.
- Decorate a Part of Your Home: Maybe the office, or the bathroom; a little tinsel never hurts.
- Wear Christmas Clothing: T-shirt, earrings, reindeer antlers. Lots of cool ways to wear Christmas.
- Start buying Christmas Gifts: Santa plans ahead a year in advance and so should you.
- Make a Christmas Drink: Iced peppermint mocha or iced eggnog latte anyone?
- Light a Spruce Candle or Holiday Scent Plug-In: I love Christmas candles year-round.
- Have a Christmas Party: Invite, decorate, and have friends bring holiday treats: It's a Christmas in July Party. The best kind.
Also, speaking of Christmas, the shop is on sale through Sunday. Deals are to be had. The Christmas Spirit is to be found.
Merry Summer Christmas, my vintage friends, and to Gram and Papa, I miss you much.
Thank God it's Vintage Friday (TGIVF).
