It's being to look a lot like Christmas!

I've got Christmas on the brain....Here's some lovely stuff I got from one of my favorite shops, the Agoura Antique Mart.
                                                                 


This is one of the best and oldest antique malls in Southern California. The reason they've been able to stay in business is that they've always been one step ahead of decorating and collecting trends.
Maria Bartolet has owned it for the last 17 years-- check out her blog at http://agouraantiquemart.blogspot.com/

                                                                              
Here's some lovely Christmas postcards from Agoura-- copies will be available soon for crafting on Etsy and RubyLogan.com.

These are some copies of my vintage Santa images I'll also be selling on Etsy and RubyLogan.com. These area professionally printed, (not on a home printer) and made in small quantities, so you can rest assured you won't see them (or the holiday items you make) everywhere. They'll be up by the end of the week.


                                                                                   
   Here's three more of the prints that will soon be available in either 8 1/2 x 11 or 11 x 14".  Great for crafts or to make up as holiday gifts with old vintage frames.
Happy Antiquing and Collecting everyone. I'll post when everything's up on Etsy and Ruby Logan.com.

Back Again....

Happy Dia de los Angelitos (Day of the Little Angels). This is the part of the Day of the Dead festival for children and innocents. I thought it would be fun to show an altar for my beloved dogs (and little angels) Ruby and Monty. The two skeleton dogs with the hats are made by artisans in Mexico and are from The Folk Tree in Pasadena, Ca. I'll be back with more later on this week, promise!
