More from Leola's Open House

In case you missed yesterday's post, be sure and scroll down to catch the first edition of all the pics from Leola's Open House. I still have a few blurry ones here. I had to laugh at some of your comments from yesterday...it seems there are more than a few of us out there that are "visually challenged"!!  That's what happens when you're over 50 and/or have had a glass of champagne. noop, I just had the cider...






































Is it me, or do some of these vintage Santas look a little creepy?












I'm sorry these are so blurry...
they are super cool,
watch parts and bling in pocket watch casings.






One of these came home with me too!
The one that says "faith".


Guess what's happening tomorrow?

Details coming on 
Vintage Inspiration Friday!

xoxo,

  1. Hi Debra, loved seeing more!... I too think some of those vintage Santas look a bit creepy... I bought one at an estate sale years ago that still wound up and rang a bell... sometimes, he would just ring the bell, when I had not wound him... it freaked me out a bit, I wanted to smack him, then thought I should not smack Santa, so I gave him away...can't wait to hear more about your everything French post! xoxo Julie Marie

  3. I wish I could be there to touch these lovelies. I agree with ya about the Santas, it seems even the ones I make are a bit wild-eyed or sinister looking. My favorite is the St. Louis Globe picture. I used to buy one every morning. The post is just beautiful.

  6. Lovely post and photos. I too think some of the vintage Santas are a little creepy looking, but maybe that was to encourage the children to keep in line.

    I'd love to go shopping there!

  7. LOL! That vintage Santa's eyes look a bit menacing! :-) But everything in that shop was so beautiful and that framed Christmas tree made out of buttons/jewels makes me want to try making one with my kiddos. I love that idea! Thanks so much for sharing all the lovely inspiration Debra!

  10. I love the watch casings filled with bling! Such a great idea! I also loved the antique silverware parts made into necklaces! I purchased an antique spoon made into a heart ring for my daughter for this past Valentines day and she wears it everywhere! Thanks for sharing such great pics!

  15. First off, I would LOVE to shop there. Everything looks splendid except of course for the creepy Santa. I'm with you, he looks like a mean elf that someone slapped a fat suit on. Glad you had fun.
