I simply LOVE how this looks!
Ever since I first saw it in a 'Home Companion' magazine, I have been slowly collecting what I would need.
The box, the ornaments collected a few here and there, and a few left from THGGM's grandmother's collection of Christmas things complete the picture.
I'll try to get a better picture when the sun is shining, but it just occurred to me a few minutes ago that I quite possibly had everything now. I have seen these in the box for close to twenty dollars. Gathering it all at a snails pace is much cheaper, and more fun!
If I can get a nice squared picture, I will use them as Christmas card fronts.
That would make THGGM happy, as he is in fits over my messes on the dining room table. It took me all day to make the front of four cards of another design only to decide that I do not like them. Not at all. Not even a teensy little bit.
It seems that over the years I totally forgot just how frazzled one gets when trying to accomplish great things while doing even greater things, like trying to make a baby happy.
Happy THGGM and happy Baby Boy are more important to me than cutesy Christmas cards. But, I must be honest and admit that cutesy cards are way up there on the list!

I suppose I really ought to post a pic of one of the sixty cards I made.
We sell the repros of those. A box like that would cost about $25.00. And people buy it up. It's amazing.
I love Christmas too!
I knew that when I saw that Shiny brite, you and I had enjoyed the same inspiration from the same magazine. I have an old cardboard bulb box as well, but not in as good shape as yours.
This is really beautiful.
