Vintage Figurines




Are these not adorable? My mom has been collecting christmas items forever. For real, she has the biggest Santa collection. She also has a ton of christmas angels. I never paid them much attention. Until this past saturday I went to Dallas to an Antique Flea Market and fell in love with all the tiny christmas figurines. I finally picked a little angel holding a hymn. She is so cute!
Then on Sunday I dragged Matt to our local antique store in Benbrook (which is huge!). After much research I've decided that Napco and Lefton have the most adorable items. So, I found a pair of Napco salt and pepper carolers and took them home! Then I discovered they have an angel for every month. So, I got my ebay crazed father to buy me the July Angel since everyone in my little family has a July Birthday. I can't wait to get her! I think I've turned into....Gulp, Gulp, my MOTHER.
I'm now a collector! I feel so nerdy and happy inside!

Too funny! I see my mom in me alot too. I love antiques and little figurines! I bought my mom an 1800's children's book for Christmas. I can't wait to give it to her! Have a great week!

Ah ha! I knew it would happen! A new convert, the only problem is I love that antique mall and you are now the competition. I wish I had seen the carolers first.
