Vintage Village Christmas

 Every year one of my favorite antique shops has a Christmas evening open house.  Mr. Man and I were settled in to watch TV after dinner and all of the sudden I said it's Vintage Village Christmas!  Within minutes we were out the door.

They close at like 5pm and reopen at 6:30 pm until 9 pm and it's all decorated with lights and candles, many people walking around with nibbles, cookies and cider.  Christmas music plays in the back ground I just love the spirit it all brings.

The opening picture is one of my purchases.  I have always wanted "thee Jim Shore turkey"  This isn't the one, this is a smaller version for a really GREAT price!  This will be our Thanksgiving center piece this year.  I can't believe they wanted to sell it!

 My other purchase was this small vintage mercury heart ornament.  I won't be putting this on the tree it will go with the rest of my heart collection.

Each booth has a free gift, it's like looking for eggs at Easter you know about it and then you find it!  I did find another but I held out for something I would like more.  You only get one free item.

This is a sweet Mikasa dish, I think I may put a candle in it or guest soaps.

Mr. Man bought a woodland Santa.  Ugh I didn't get a picture but when I do I will post it. 

I started to get him woodland Santa's years ago and I only got to two they aren't terribly expensive but enough and he found this one for a song.  I really love the woodland Santa's they are ...well woodsy.

I am almost done with my Christmas shopping I have a couple of things left for Erica which I already know what they will be and Mr. Man, I know what they are just waiting to get them, he balances my checkbook so the longer I wait the better!  I do usually tell him he can't do it until after Christmas I do have an idea how much I have in there and I am safe.

Isn't my turkey cute?  Gotta love Jim Shore!

Thanks for the visit
