Yes, I am one of those people

I know, I know. Thanksgiving has not even arrived yet. I can hear the jaded mantra of "Why are the Christmas decorations out before Halloween?" in my head.

I've said it a million times myself.
New to the whole antique booth scene this holiday season, I found myself dreaming of the Holidays early into the summer (come on, be real, if you live in the desert you dream too...beginning in May!).
We dream big here in the scorching Valley. Very big. So much so that we can appreciate retro snow apparatus. Even if we can't use it. Unless we visit our mom up in the mountains (is the room ready yet mom?).

"Rosebud"...(10 extra points if you know what that means).Christmas hankies and doilies, oh my! Let the decorating begin!

I've never been a fan of modern decorations. I'd much rather savor the nuances of Christmas past. Don't be shocked. It's true.
Shiny Brites and European glass ornaments.

Moment of silence please.
Thanks to my friend with superior decorative and organizational skills (it's all about the people you surround yourself with...in more ways than one), we found a "niche for my kitsch" (arr, arr).

Dear angry Santas, may you find a good home.
I'm sorry that the top of these metal trees were cut off. Not literally, thankfully. I'm sorry because this metal trio is sweet. It pays to bring along your mom to yards sales, she spotted these sweeties from afar.

A perfect concoction of rusted metal, old wood and vintage soda bottles. Yea, that's the only fix I need. Throw in a little retro Johnny Mathis and Bing Crosby Christmas tunes and we are set!
