According to a wonderful book , Vintage Vavoom, recommended to me by my dear friend Aissa, vintage “transcends trends and time”.
I love that.
When I spotted this pink bottle brush tree at the flea market, about 15 years ago, I transcended time. I still do when I look at it. It has a soft pink tulle skirt.
I call this room the study. The couch in the background was referenced in my ‘God is in My Glitter’ post. It is a wonderful place to sit. The couch is so soft and worn.
This pink bird belonged to my mother.
This silver glitter ball belonged to my mother-in-law.
These dark pink ornaments were a find at the flea market. That always amazes me because clearly these ornaments had a previous home.
I imagine they were piled into some truck, dropped off somewhere, and somehow made it in one piece to my local crazy flea market, and then to my house.
Transcending time indeed.
Today I am linking to:
Joan’s Vintage Christmas Monday at Anything Goes Here
and Mosaic Monday at Little Red House, hosted by Mary and
Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch.
These are all beautiful blogs.

First I love that book title! Second love all the pink! I have a small pink feather tree I put on a table top. My husband isn't to crazy about it but he indulges my Christmas whims. ~Jeanne
First of all, I love the new header shot...I'm so jealous. Second that pink tree is beyone cute!
What wonderful memories I'm sure are locked away in your ornaments. I wanted to also tell you how much I enjoyed your "glitter" post. I felt so free to be me after reading it. Truly a liberating piece. Thank you.

Everything was so pretty in pink. It is amazing to think that those fragile vintage ornaments made their way to a flea market in one piece.....glad they found their way to your home.

I adore pink things for Christmas... just beautiful!
Oh, how I love pink! I have a pink Christams going on this year and I love it!
Yayy! The pink tree that I mentioned to you. It totally takes me back to my grandmother's dress shop. She had a pink tree there. I thought it was so funky and so "my grandmother". I just love it.
And that old fashioned pink.. the bird.. so sweet. And the balls that did survive so you could share them in all their glory! Good posting, Laura.

P.S. Your dad is one special man. I loved the posting about him. I wish he wasn't so quick to get by us or I would stop and visit with him more.
Your decorations are beautiful, I love all the glitter.
This is lovely! The bottlebrush tree was quite a find, and I love the heirlooms from your mother and mother in law. I'm catching up on my reader and just finished your God is in my Glitter post. Brilliant! Have a wonderful week. Kathy

How is it that I have two daughters that love pink, was a single mom for so many years and have never done a Pink Christmas??? I hope I have not missed my chance as your pink decor is so beautiful and inspiring! ~jermaine~
Lovely unusual colors - the vintage tones create a very soft, stylish look!

Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by and for your wonderful comments, plus I got to come back and peak again at those beautiful vintage treasures.

That shade of pink is gorgeous! Have a great week!
It's funny, but I always think of vintage Christmas items as being red or green, never pink, but you've got some beautiful examples here! A pink bottlebrush tree!!! I would swoon over that little pretty!
Happy VCM!

Lovely post and beautiful memories. Loved your tablescape, too!
I am loving seeing Christmas decorations and items in colors other than green and red. And I love your bottle brush tree in all her pinkness. Oh, I have one of those sofa's. I'll be on it in a bit.
