Christmas 2012!

My blog's first Christmas!  Last December I would never have thought I'd be posting on my own blog so this is pretty exciting!

I have to share that in 1995 I planned to paint a watercolor of some vintage Christmas ornaments in their box with the tissue around them.  I took some snapshots at the local flea market for reference and inspiration.  The painting never happened but I have hundreds of wonderful Christmas snapshots which I enjoy adding to each year.  Of course I branched out from snapping just ornaments in boxes.  There are some funky flea market Christmas items out there.  Over the years it's been interesting to see the changes in what is available at the flea market and in stores.  The photos are still inspiring so maybe I'll actually do that painting sometime. 

So here are a few photos from a couple years ago to help in wishing you all the best Christmas and 2013.
