Are you on Instagram?
Well, if you are
and if you love
vintage holiday collectibles ---
you are going to fall in love
with
Doreen's collection of
Christmas and winter holiday
collectibles.
Oh my goodness,
get a cup of coffee or tea
and take a seat.
Doreen, also known as
"Elfhead"
on Instagram
regularly posts photos
of her holiday collections
from her home in Oregon.
I asked her where she finds
all of her "goodies"
and she told me
that they have come from
local shops, thrift stores, flea markets,
estate sales, and yard sales.
Some pieces are gifts received from
her BFF who knows what she loves.
(What a lovely friend!)
Pulling cutie pies out of storage for Christmas displays! |
I ADORE these images.
They bring out the little kid in me!
Doreen has spent over 25 years
corralling these little sweeties
and I love how she has grouped them.
The "kneehugger" elves
and the rubber faced Santas
got her started with her collections.
Swooning here.
:)
What a perfect way to kick off the month
of December, right?
(If you are not in the mood to decorate,
you will be by the time you scroll through
these photos, I guarantee it!)
Thank you, Doreen,
for allowing me to share
just a small snippet
of your phenomenal collections.

Thanks for sharing! It does bring back special memories!
ReplyDeleteWow she certainly has quite a collection! We had two of the felt elves with the tucked up legs under their arms when I was a child- they may still be in my mom's holiday stash. I remember my aunt having a pair of choir boys like the ceramic ones in picture #6 with the little stars. I'm resisting Instagram because I don't want to spend more time on my devices than I already do!
ReplyDeleteWOW! She has an amazing collection! Love the stairway garland. I am now following her on IG. Thanks for sharing!
