Second on the 2nd: Vintage Christmas

 

As many of you know, I love to re-post something that echoes the theme our host at Art Journal Journey has chosen.  Wendy has chosen Vintage, so this spread I created in an altered book on December 25, 2013 fits the bill.  The post was appropriately named

Merry Christmas

"Angels we have heard on high, 
Singing sweetly through the night,

And the mountains in reply 
Echoing their brave delight.  
Gloria in excelsis Deo."

Bleubeard and I wish you the merriest of Christmases.

Funny. I have Christmas as theme more or less, too, today. And it´s only September. And the pics are from August! You made me switch to 2013... Christmas. LOL.

Christmas seems to be in my head too.. think i'm afraid I may miss with all the craziness in the background. Love those Vintage Angels, super angelic page. Hugs Tracey x

Beautiful angels. Though don't rush my season. There are still 20 days left of Summer 😉

Very vintage indeed! I don't really want to be thinking of Christmas, but this is a very sweet page.
Happy 2nd of the 2nd,

I love those vintage angels. They are beautiful and nice inspiration for a vintage page. And a holiday one also. I haven't seen this page before, and it was wonderful that you chose it. And good holiday tune too, if I need one as an earworm, this is one I would pick. Hope the new month is going well. Hugs-Erika

Barbara said...

I’m not ready for Christmas either, but thinking of it with cold weather feels nice. Lovely piece!

Yes, I still use that table. It is actually very easy and quick to set up. I put it on its side, the table is closed like a book. I open it and the legs are tucked underneath. I fold out the legs and then stand the table upright. Job done. We have two or three of these tables. They double as extra dining tables or whan I do a craft group activity, there is room for a few more participants if I open another table. So I am very pleased with them.

What a lovely set of pages. I love the red - so Christmassy. The angels are lovely vintage traditional angels and the words you chose are lovely. How great was this for a Christmas Message to your friends.
Hugs, Neet xx

I learned it: Sweetly swinging o'er the plains. Maye because we lived in the nidwest plains they chose that version--LOL! Pretty page--but a bit early for Christmas. ;)
