I grew up in the 50s. We only had one Christmas tree decorated with my parents ornaments from the 40s and 50s including several unsilvered ornaments along with Shiny Brite and European ornaments. I really enjoyed the tour of your all your trees and ornaments. TFS
Aw, thank you so much. My vintage decorations are some of my most prized possessions so it makes me so happy I can share them with others and they enjoy them too. Thank you for watching!!
OMGOSH! Target had pink Rudolph's and I missed them all!! I love your collection. I love your pink ceramic lamp too!
There were a few left online last week! Don't forget to try that and sometimes you can find them for sale on Poshmark, Mercari or eBay! That ceramic lamp has a twin! I am going to rework the fiberglass lampshades soon because they need re-threading!
About 15 years ago, millennial liked my stuff. I decorate my tree & put it in the 3rd floor picture window; room dark. I use lights I had for decades, so they glow. One afternoon a young man came to fix something. The minute he saw the tree went nuts, he was shouting, "I have been trying to see which apartment it is, we look for it. He asked to bring friends that night. Why, not? They went nuts, so much fun.
Now I am doing antique & retro in shades of pink, & some gold. I got pink & some violet lights & wrap the tree with lights.
It makes me so happy to see ya'll loving these old pieces!
I lost my Shiny Brites in the 1970's they broke. So I started collecting the original retro. No one, but no one collected them back then; people thought I was nuts.
My kids always complain about my Christmas ornaments etc. I decorated Christmas trees for the Macy's store in the San Francisco. So I've done themed trees. No one, my age, liked them. They had aged into amazing colors & wear. They thought it was tacky; guess I love tacky.
That's so cool! I am actually in my 40s. I've been collecting Mid-Century treasures for over 30 years. My house is all thing Mid-Century...even my countertops have boomerangs. It's wild how popular these things have gotten. I used to be able to go in antique stores and buy things really cheap. Now that it is hip, the prices are through the roof! Thank you for sharing your story.
I love that you shared this, you home is beautiful!! I love the beautiful decorations!! Thank you and wishing you the best Christmas❤️🙏
Aw, thank you so much! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas too.
Your aluminum tree is just gorgeous! The mix of vintage and new glass ornaments is perfect. What a fabulous way to remember and honor your relatives by displaying their treasured Christmas decor. Happy new year!
Thank you so much. I feel the same way. My house is filled with vintage treasures and heirlooms the same as my trees with a few modern pieces mixed in. Happy New Year to you too!!
Fantastic aluminum tree, one of the best decorated I have seen!!!
Thank you. That is seriously the sweetest compliment.
What a beautiful, happy, colorful and nostalgic tree. Love it!
Thank you so much!!
Your video randomly popped up and I happily watched. You have some real treasures and what a blessing to have so many things passed on to you. I also decorate mostly with mcm items, my favorite are angels! Hope Christmas 2022 is a good one for you and your family 🙂
Aw, thank you! Same to you!!
How fun is this!!! I just ordered a mid-century-ish Christmas tree from Amazon!
Oh that's so cool!!
Your house is filled with warm family memories as well a new ones. I'm glad to see your adding more unforgettable family memories for your children to pass on to theirs. Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄
Aw, thank you. That is so sweet. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for watching!
Beautiful vintage collection 🌲🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻🦌❤️
Aw, thank you so much!
Thank you for the video! Your silver Al tree is gorgeous! I remember some of those ornaments and have found some like yours in my own stash of vintage-looking ornaments. I wish I could find a silver tree too. I wish they were remade for those of us wishing for more mid-century style. Your home is very lovely and well decorated. Thank you so much for sharing! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 😊❤🙏
Aw, you are so sweet. Thank you! I couldn't put out my tree this year because we have a beagle puppy and I didn't want to risk her getting into it. It's way too fragile and precious to me. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
💚❤️💚❤️🎄luv the nostalgia! We have the same decor style! I FINALLY purchased an aluminum CHRISTmas tree and I will make a journey to pick it up tomorrow.
Oh, how exciting! I searched for years and finally found one for a GREAT price at a local antique store. I was so excited.
I love the Christmas tree! Very classy. I've always loved the look of mid century modern.
Aw, thank you!! I love it too.

Hi Victoria. I am really glad that I found your channel. I have always liked the vintage themes They just have a whimsical feel, especially at Christmas time. I also think it is really sweet that you included your two boys. I can't wait to see what you come with next!
I just had to comment - which I hate to do on TH-cam. I am the Canadian equivalent of you!! Deep and heartfealt prayers today for the USA. May you long live as a people!!!!
You are so sweet. It's all so disheartening and the majority of the US citizens are not extremists no matter what your views. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Everything very nice loved it all
Aw, thank you. That is so sweet.
Beautiful ❤️ I love mid century modern too. I have some of my Grandmother's and Great Aunt's ornaments and vintage Christmas decorations as well that we put on our regular tree because we don't have an aluminum tree but they're so cool. Thanks for the video. Your chandelier with those icicle ornaments is gorgeous 🥰 Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays ✌️
Aw, thank you so much. I love that you have those family heirlooms and enjoy them during the holidays.
When my Mum died cleared her house out,but it got too painfull so my Husband took over & he threw out the box of her decorations that were from my childhood,she had some lovely ornaments!! I'm sad about that.Your house looks lovely.Love from England X
I am so sorry. I can imagine that was so painful. Much of my collecting, both vintage Christmas and otherwise have been me hunting for pieces I was connected to in my childhood. For example my grandmother made us ice cream in these 1950s plastic bowls that had belonged to my grandmother. I have sought out collecting those because my grandmother got rid of hers before she knew I wanted them. Thank you so much for watching and best wishes! Victoria
Hello from Muscle Shoals AL. I have several kin folks from Mississippi. You have everything decorated beautifully.
Hey, neighbor!! Thank you so much. That means a lot. Where in Mississippi are your family?
I love the aluminum tree!!!
Thank you. I don't know what I am going to do this year because we have a puppy.
I remember in the late '50s and early '60s, the two dominant colors seemed to be light turquois and dusty rose.
Yes, that are the colors of my living room. Well more of like a robin's egg blue and a mauve pink!
sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Felix Victor Instablaster ;)
I've always wanted an aluminium tree!! It looks so good! I hadn't know about the colorwheel thing though. I guess it's good i never got one of those trees b/c i'd have prob just put the lights on it without knowing!
I hope you find one! I searched for years. I had some mini ones but I FINALLY found one at an antique store for $85. I was sold!
I'm dying for this.
It's that time of year!!
Oh my goodness your tree!!! I’m a vintage lover/collector also and I’ve been searching for years for an aluminum Pom Pom tree! Hopefully one day I will find my treasure! I so enjoyed seeing your beautiful Christmas decor!
Thank you so much! I am going to do an update video this year. I will also have a video out next week where I picked up vintage inspired decor at big box stores. I love talking with other vintage enthusiasts so thank you so much for watching and commenting!
I remember when you could get the elves on a box of soap powders in the '60s. Miss Sandra
Really? That is so neat! I have never heard that but it makes sense as there were a lot of fun gifts with purchase back then. I have a video on this channel all about knee hugger elves! You should check it out. Thank you for watching.
Beautiful!
Aw, thank you so much!
I have bunches of the sequin and felt Santas.purchased 1972 for my wedding reception.Also your ornaments look like the boxes I bought in 1972. Wow I have a large collection of Santa mugs.......didnt know they were that old!!
Yes, check out my series on here where I go through the history of my favorite vintage Christmas decorations. I just did santa mugs last week! Thank you so much for watching.
Wow great collection🎅🏻 I wish I would have kept my mothers decor.🧑🎄
Thank you so much!!
Eso mismo pienso 😖😭hubiera conservado tantos recuerdos de hermosas decoraciónes. 🍃💖🍁😘
Lovely mother mary on your buffet 😊
Thank you. I have many in my home.
You uploaded this right when I sat down with my coffee-perfect timing! Lol your Christmas decor is so beautiful!!!! I love all the mid century pieces!! I love that Pom Pom style of aluminum tree!!! Those wire trees are definitely coming back in style, they were all over Michaels this year I noticed!! That’s awesome you have so many meaningful pieces to look at in your home, you truly are blessed!
Great tree!
Aw, thank you!
Very pretty. Thanks for sharing the history of your Christmas treasures, too. Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much. I will have updates in December including a series on MCM decorations and their history.
I love all your stuff. We had most of it. A lot of fun memories. Now I have a small 18" red tinsel tree from 1950.
Ooooh, red!!! I love that. I bet it is beautiful.
1st time seeing your video. Thanks for explaining mid-century decor & keeping with in the correct time frame. Enjoyed it!
Aw, thank you so much. I have a whole series I'm starting on Mid-Century. I started today with the launch of my Fire-King video.
We had 6 "knee hugger" elves in the 1960's when I was a child. Wish I still had them.
Oh my goodness. That is so cool. I hope you find some just like the ones you had!
My Grandma's tree was covered in the knee hugger elves. She called them Pixies.
@@SuperGeeked I have found some similar at Hobby Lobby. The faces look the same but the rest is a little different. It's close enough though.
A great collection of vintage Christmas. I have a bunch of the knee hugger pixies. Since elf on the shelf came out everyone calls all of them elves. . Merry Christmas 🎅
Yes, I did an episode on my 12 days of Kitschmas all about knee huggers! Merry Christmas to you too and thank you so much for watching!!
Love the old vintage glass ornaments and the little pink deer :-)
Aw, thank you so much for watching!
Love this whole video, but most especially Mama Mary in the background during the intro! New subscriber here :)
Aw, thank you so much! I appreciate you watching.
So glad to find your post, the trees and ornaments are darling! I love the blend of new and old.
Oh, thank you so much. I will be filming and update video this year!! Thank you so much for watching!!
@@SuperGeeked Can't wait!! I found a Target version of the white ceramic tree LOL
@@kristinabao-paluck4046 I got a pink one at Marshalls that will be in my haul tomorrow. Also, someone said Target has pink ceramic this year too but I didn't see them at mine.
@@SuperGeeked I found them on Target online. There’s a white and pink one both 14 inch (they consider this one “large” so there is a smaller size one too, which I didn’t see online). I also got the light-up ceramic tree ornament!
Your home is so, so cute!! I would love to enjoy a home like yours for the holidays! I'm in the Pensacola area not too far from you. Hope you do a Christmas video this year too. :]
Thank you, that is really sweet. I go to Pensacola all the time! I have been going there since high school. Yes, I plan to do an updated video as soon as I get my decorations up!! Thank you for watching.
We all know you can not but water on any paint that is old because it will come off. But I thought I share I tried a little of orange glow furniture polish on one of my boxes of old glass bulbs and Omg they are so shine and bright just like the box says. So put a little on a cloth and try it on your vintage stuff I always start on a place you can't see like the bottom of a figure
Great tip! Thank you for that. And thank you so much for watching!
I just subscribed to your channel as I’m a Mississippi girl also!
You are? That's so cool! Where in Mississippi?
May I ask where you bought the ornament dedicated to your dear friend who passed last year. I’ve been looking for years. Yours is beautiful. Your home is beautifully decorated Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, that is so sweet. I didn't actually make the ornament for her, her family and friends did for her funeral service. I believe they have some at Michaels though.
I love the collection on ur shelves...pink deer were beautiful ❤️
I never saw a aluminum tree before...so cool... beautiful ❤️.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Aluminum Christmas Trees are so special. They come in different finishes. Mine is a call a pom pom. I have a friend that has 4 and puts them all up at Christmas!
