About the ONLY thing I've done today, beyond chores, is to set out my Christmas display in the foyer. I decided to use several of the vintage embossed die-cuts I've collected. I came upon these old paper products in eBay a few years ago. I was entranced. First because I am very much charmed by old (or old looking) art made from paper. These are from a by-gone era and while not rare, they will never be produced like this again. So I own quite a bit of these pieces for both Winter and Spring displays.
I think my very favorite is the deer and chalet scene. To the left is an adorable image of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. This is on the top of a calendar with a thermometer. Many of these old embossed pieces were calendar tops. Also on these 2 shelves are old Christmas corsages, elves and some Wendy Addison originals. Click on this picture to enlarge it and check out the two Wendy logs just in front of the deer scene, and on the right is a hollowed log that the pixie is sitting in. Wendy made 2 of these from some type of paper mache and they are fabulous. I feel so lucky to have them.
