A deer little lunch scene





Stacked up my collection 
of lunch boxes 
in the tack room today.

I only collect plaid ones....
imagine that!






My most favorite 
and very rare one
 just joined the group last week.
The GREEN one!







I decided to group them 
and created a cozy little scene 
for a fuzzy velvet
vintage baby deer I recently found.







Come on,
get your plaiditude on ...
it's December 
after all!





You're a dear for stopping by today!

  14. Awww, so sweet and love the lunch boxes. I'm sitting here wondering how your lunch box has such a shiny lid, and it dawned on me that you must have put a mirror in it to reflect the scene. Alison, you're so smart.

  19. Very cute! I think my brother had one of those lunch boxes. I donated two plaid Scotch coolers to my friend who has an antique shop~I always thought they would be great at christmas with greens coming out of them. I put a group of tiny vintage plastic deer in my etsy shop today if you want some more!!

  21. That is just as cute as can be. I love plaid, and that just takes the cake. The little deer in the box with the bottlebrush trees is a doll. I like your style.

  26. Hello Alison... thank you so much for visiting me at my blog this morning and signing on as a follower... I can see we share many similar interests... I am signing on as your newest follower too!... love your little deer vignette... I also LOVE plaids, especially at Christmas time... looks like I have alot of catching up to do on your older posts... your blog is so lovely, I am making myself a cup of coffee and settling down and browsing through your blog... I recently found a little vintage flocked deer at the thrift store here for 75 cents... a little fawn, so lost and alone... I searched and found her mama (on Ebay) and paid her way here from back east...(quite a bit more than 75 cents!) but so happy they are reunited now happily under my vintage Christmas tree... xoxo Julie Marie

  33. Hello, dear Alison!,
    FYI, I think I was bumped off of your subscriber list. I hadn't heard from you in a while and was going to drop you a note...then found out you've been posting! I re-subscribed, so all is good.

    Love the lunch boxes! I had one of those, in the olden days. The reindeer is adorable too!
    Cheers, Barbara
