I am still behind on my holiday card line, and I can feel the clock ticking. I've even tried listening to my favorite Christmas albums (The Christmas Song
by Nat King Cole and A Charlie Brown Christmas
) while nibbling on cookies and drinking tea. But it is still 80-plus degrees here, and the Gocco fires have yet to warm after my last disaster.
While waiting for the mood to strike I stumbled upon a lovely collection of vintage clippings on Flickr, and Page was generous enough to let me share them. I love, love, love the departure from traditional red and green in some of these. I've already purchase my supplies, so these won't be a direct inspiration for my cards this year, but they do remind me a bit of these.What do you think? Are you a red-white-and-green person, or do you like the mod touches of pink and turquoise in some of these?

I lean toward the mod/retro images. Do a google search for "retro ornaments" - the results are delicious! Isn't this a fun time of year?
Those are really cute!
I'm more of a homey, comfy type style. If that makes any sense at all.
These bring back memories. (I especially like the little birds.)
Thanks for sharing.
These are great! The top image is my favorite.
very lovely. I look forward to seeing what you do
Great images! Mid-century illustration is the best :)
