Every year, right after Halloween, my mind skips to Christmas fun. I know so many people think that this is way too early to start thinking of the holiday, but I like to revel in the dreaminess of the season as long as possible. So in early November I begin hunting for fun things to give and use for the holidays.
This weekend I am headed to an antique market to begin looking for things that I can use this Christmas. Here are a few things that you should be on the lookout for. As we get closer to the holiday, I will begin showing you how I use these various items to decorate and gift wrap.
Happy Hunting & Gathering!

This is when I should start thinking about making things for Christmas but I actually start about a week before. HA. I do want to make some gifts for my mail art pals so I better get started sooner rather than later. Love those vintage keys and tins....
Yes Pamela, you should start working on the projects now. That way you can sit back & enjoy the season when it is here. :)
I will try to get started but I am never in a Christmas mood till about a week before...but we'll see. BTW-did you see Jennie H's post on Red Letter Day about that rubber stamp store in the East Village??? I must go there.
