Dreaming of a Vintage Christmas........tree.

Paulette Goddard, a perfect Hollywood Christmas

Last year we purchased a real Christmas tree and it was gorgeous, but my heart has always been set on a fake one. Preferably a vintage 1950's or 1960's tree and any color would suffice silver, pink, light blue, even white. I have been searching all year but alas still no vintage tree has found its way home with yours truly. There have been a few hopefuls over the years, but a typical dark green tree will not do for our retro home.

A store down the road from us advertised white, pink, red, blue, and even a frightful lime green color Christmas trees. Size wise I am completely open as long as the overall look is vintage inspired, tiny like this one below or massive like Paulette's. Hopefully one of them will tickle my fancy, otherwise we will be treeless this year left to dream about the vintage one I will find someday (see how determined I am) and what it will look like all decorated then.

Its seems like forever

Tons of apologies for being m.i.a. for quite some time. I really missed this little blog, as well as my lovely readers as well as visitors, along with reading your comments, and of course reading all of my favorite blogs. Unfortunately about a day or two after the last post I wrote my laptop crashed. Some sort of evil Darla hating virus murdered my computer brutally. From then on a few minor set backs resulted in a lack of funds to fix said laptop. That is no longer the case and I am thrilled to report my laptop is fixed, and all important files were backed up.

With that out of the way I just wanted to say so far I love Texas!

Texas is beautiful, the weather unpredictable, and the vintage finds plentiful!

Like this bad boy, General Electric clock radio I picked up at a goodwill for $2. The clock works swell the tubes to the radio are burnt out and thats an easy fix. Not quite sure on the exact year yet, I am guessing mid to late 1950's. If anyone has a better idea on the date I would love to hear your opinion. The model is C400a.

I hope each and everyone of you have had a lovely past couple of months.
