Being born in 1952, I LOVE vintage!!! The memories of decorating, going to church, family get-togethers are the best memories and tinsel, icicles for putting on the trees and our ornaments just like the ones that you put on that wreath. Please do more!

I was a lil later 1960 and love the vintage look. We were taught to care for our things even decorations so we had the same ones year after year some inherited from grandparents. To this day I have among others some of those plastic decorations from the early 1970s that look similar to the crepe paper twisted on a pencil eraser to make things esp maps in school

I love vintage- retro, l thought l wasn't going to like the candle but it turned out so sweet and my favorite today. The wreath was a little much but l do remember the shiny ornaments. I remember a silver tree with a round spinning little at the base of the tree. Changing from red, blue, green and yellow. My dad love the tree he was allergic to ever green trees so he was so happy when the silver trees came out,. Lol.. at the time my Mother, brother and l didn't like them much. My younger sisters thought that was the only kind of Christmas trees there was for many years. I also remember the the little clip santa so sweet. Your project do bring back memories for sweeter, simpler times and hadn't thought of them in a long time. Thank you

Hi from the Wild n Wonderful Hills of West Virginia. I am 71 and crying...you brought back soooooo many awesome memories of my holidays with my parents with my family. My Mom went all out for Christmas, in every area...food house, presents for others as well as family and cards! She was the glue that held everything together thru thick n thin. My favorite was the candelabra bc I still have one. I am going to dig it out and use it. I had the first book that you showed. I do not know what happened to it but it was my favorite Christmas book. No one was allowed to have it. Lol Thank you soooooo much. Please dnt stop on doing the retro decore. Maybe you could find some Easter retro. That was another big holiday in our home. Thank you again and many many Blessings to you and your family. Huggzz and Many Prayers!!! ❤🌲🍗☃️⛄❄🎄🎁

My family all came together for the holidays which I only had 2 sisters alot older than me. My Dad passed away when I was 14 & my Mom when i was 30 then my oldest sister passed about 4 years ago, so appreciate things that bring back memories from my childhood! I lost my husband in 2003 so I was a fairly young widow. I have 2 children which I rarely see. i live alone with my 3 girls (dogs) but they they are my little family that keeps me going.

I loved all of these. While I won't be doing this style, (I'm stuck right now with victorian Christmas), I will be watching every one of these retro videos. The memories these bring back. My grandmother's whole house was decorated from the 1950's, and that included all of her Christmas. She even had a retro 10 foot tall tinsel tree. Only it wasn't retro to her, and to the rest of the world, it was outdated and needed to be replaced. The thing was humongous. My mother had grown up with that as their tree. My guess is, considering it's size, that my grandparents paid a pretty penny for it. As a little kid, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. My grandmother's decorations were so bright and snowy and sparkly. My mom decorated as they did in the 70's, which was more natural. So going to my grandma's house for Christmas dinner was a magical thing for me and my sisters. These decorations bring back so many memories. Tacky or not, I love them.

I love it so much!!! You’re right, it’s a bit tacky, but it brings back simpler times of my childhood. Decorations now days are over the top. I miss my youthful days of the 60’s. Yes, we want more retro content. ❤

I just ran across your page. I was born in 57. My parents died when I was 10. These bring back happier memories 😊

Oh Pamela, I can’t imagine that kind of loss for a 10 year old. I’m so sorry for the little girl that still longs for her mom and dad. I’m glad you have some great memories of your time together. ❤️
