Vintage Christmas Monday ~ At Mom's House

I spent most of this weekend with family at my parents' home so I thought I'd share some of mom's vintage and antique things for the last Vintage Christmas Monday. A great big Christmas hug for Joan at Anything Goes Here for hosting this memory filled meme. Please click on the VCM door on my right sidebar to visit Joan and see what everyone else has to offer for this final episode.

This is mom's vintage piano bought by my grandmother long ago. She has her cranberry glass pieces mixed in on top.

This little guy has been around as long as I can remember.

See the crack under his arm. My bad! I was bringing in groceries last year and bumped into a newly placed bakers rack. I couldn't get my hands out of the plastic bag handles fast enough so I tried to brake his fall with my leg and foot. We glued him back together but...

couldn't find all the pieces. You would think we could find a piece that big but it's still missing. I felt terrible but mom said not to worry it was just a "thing". Maybe so, but I still feel bad.

This antique fireplace surround came from an old home in San Francisco. It came from a bedroom and is smaller than would have been in a main room. She has a huge cut glass collection and displays some vases and pitchers here year round.

I was experimenting with camera settings and the first time the flash went off Santa started singing and dancing. My kids thought it was pretty funny to see me jump in surprise.

Here's some detail of the top. It's curved up and toward the front with a carved leather panel.

There is no actual fireplace here so mom uses screens or a decorated table to fill the space. This nativity is always displayed with an old family bible that has beautiful pages illustrating the birth of Christ. I love the angel placed on a glass block above the scene.

I hope you enjoyed this visit to my parent's home. I'll try to be back with one more post before Christmas, if not, please have a very merry Christmas!
