Christmas Antiques






The past couple of years I have had my eye on vintage/antique ceramic Christmas decorations. My favorite brand is  Holt Howard, made in Japan during the 50's and 60's. Here are a few of my favorites:

Lace and Crochet Dresses

It would be nice to find a pretty lace or crochet dress. It's a difficult search though, as I find many stores (e.g. H & M) use really cheap lace, and I imagine it wouldn't make it through one wash - and I'm not really into dry cleaning. Those that are made of a bit better material are a million dollars (well not a million, but $300 for a dress is ridiculous). Anyway, here are a few of the dresses I've been browsing.
