I love this pin and bead Mrs. Claus! She's a Walco craft from the early 1970s and is reminiscent of the pin bead fruit that I collect as well.
I found her at a thrift a few weeks ago, but sadly there was no Mr. Claus to be found. I now have a mission: locate a pin bead Santa and reunite him with the lovely Mrs.!
Found at a rare weekday garage sale when I was out visiting my mom in Utah, I think these are actually from 2008 but I never blogged about them. The crocheted apron is a child's size and somebody turned the vintage tablecloth into cute red-hemmed cloth napkins.
And a favorite red (and blue) thing around here:
Would you just LOOK at that hair? Hee! It's like Muppet hair.
This one's blurry but Porter is just the happiest, most smiley baby! He'll be 12 weeks tomorrow (HOW?) and is an absolute delight!
What a cute and happy little boy! Time has flown, hasn't it? I share your woe of December birthdays (besides my own, which makes me happy!), I too, have my FIL's, a BIL, several nephews and nieces. My MIL is impossible to shop for as well. I usually end up giving a gift card or something to do with food. Men always like food, right?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I didn't realize Mrs. Claus was made of pin beads! I thought she had a polka dot dress on. I really need to check into getting some glasses! And your little boy is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday!

Hahaha... LOVE the cool hair on the baby! One of my daughters sported a similar style in her infancy -- in RED hair!
ReplyDelete(She's blonde now, go figure.)
That crocheted apron/pinafore is spectacular! Wow. And Mrs Claus does look lonesome with out her darling Nicholas!

That smile is infectious! Wait till he sees the tree!
ReplyDeleteMy heavens - Porter has awesome hair! He and Maren are polar opposites, aren't they? He is a cutie pie to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI spotted that Mrs. Claus on your Table on Monday. I've never seen one of those before - but I will keep my eye out for Santa for you!
What a great post! Mrs. Santa is delightful! And, yes, a mid-week garage sale is rare indeed! That apron is so unique and, of course, I love the CHERRY napkins! Muppet head - that's so funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling baby boy! I am partial to baby boys; had three of my own and now four little grandsons; love' em! I knew Sue would love your cherry napkins! I'm a bit late but hope your REDnesday was wonderful. Enjoy the rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteChristmas blessings,
