Christmas on my mind in October

So while exploring all of the fun little boutiques in Franklin, Tennessee I came across a book that I am more than excited about.  So much so that I now have Christmas on the brain in October!!  I've always been a Holiday junkie from the food to the decor to the feel in the air.  Yes, even working in the wonderful world of retail I still get into the Holiday spirit;)  This year........because of my new book find might I add......I'm getting the fever even earlier.

"Have Yourself A Very Vintage Christmas" by Susan Waggoner.  There are so many fun ideas in this book to help you create a vintage inspired Christmas.  From the 1920's to the 1960's she has put together a collection of projects that seem fun, not too complicated and very true to the era's.  There are quite a few that I cannot wait to make and although I'm not going to do step by step with the one's that I make (because I want you to run out and buy book for yourself) I will be showing projects that I've completed and how I use them in my very own Vintage Christmas!!

Please be sure to check it out, she has included era history's and why certain styles were so popular in their decade and her descriptions for each project are clear and detailed.  She also has quite a few other books that revolve around bi-gone era's that I'll be checking out.  Hope you get as much enjoyment out of this book as I'll be getting.
