It's Not Too Early for Christmas (Is it?)

The antique mall where I have my booth is having their annual holiday open house on Saturday, so I've been pulling together the stuff I've been collecting all year, and getting it ready to sell.

Without a doubt, my favorite items are things still in their original boxes.  They're getting harder and harder to find. I also love the gift wrapped boxes from department stores.  Does anyone else remember Dayton's in Minneapolis?  Their logo is on one of the boxes in the top picture.

These Santa candle rings are still in their original poinsetta covered container- their friends "E" and "L" are still in the box.

A more mod grouping of ornaments- bubble lights and plastic mirrored ornaments.

And still pretty....the little bits and pieces I found at the bottom of the box.

It's never too early to look at lovely Christmas decorations especially if they're vintage.
The Noel santas are my favourite out of this selection.

I agree it is never too early for Christmas decorations when they are vintage. The angels remind me of my grandma's collection of angels. Wishing you a wonderful week.

Beth your Christmas goodies are wonderful! I wonder if thinking of the holidays this early I might actually get it together by December? Love the boxes too!

I try never to think too much about Christmas before the 4th of July. Other than that, all bets are off. I share your love of original boxes. Sometimes I like the box more than what's inside.

These are great. I love the original boxes, too -- precious few of them these days. Nice finds!
