Retro Christmas Video

Happy Holidays, Nesters.



From our family to yours!



I love everything about the Christmas season, especially retro modern holiday decor, so in my Craft Christmas video I bring you a retro orb ornament or tree topper, and an easy mulled cider recipe.



You can make this sputnik orb the top of your tinsel tree, display is in a vintage glass bowl, or give it as a gift to a loved one. Either way it should add a retro, Mad Men style to your holiday season.



Other ways to bring that great 50-60's look into your holiday season are using vintage Christmas linens, adding plaid where you can, or making this tinsel tree, as I showed you how last year.

All You Need Is Love

War is over if you want it.



A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.



Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.



Remembering a beautiful soul today who made the world a better place for evermore.
John Lennon was killed 30 years ago today, but we remember and celebrate his life and legacy always.

Happy Holidays

This is just the start of another holiday season and I am already so excited about the twinkling lights, tinsel trees, music and tasty treats.


We are getting our home all cozy and Christmasy. Getting out the ornaments and Santas bring back so many nostalgic, loving Christmas memories. I'll share pictures of that soon, but until then here is my mom with her brothers on a Christmas many moons ago. I love the tinsel, the Swedish carolers on the mantel, the tiger stuffed animal and all of the kids faces. Have a lovely weekend, a happy Hanukkah and a warm start to the holiday season!
