Holiday Cards

I've already started writing out my holiday cards this year so I can get them out earlier than I did last year! I've also had a few readers ask me where I buy my cards so I thought I would share a few suggestions.

For custom holiday cards, you can try Crane's, Dempsey & Carroll, and William Arthur. Personalized cards are obviously more expensive so you have to think about how much you want to spend. Even though they are preprinted, you should still personalize them by writing the recipients name, a quick message and handwriting your name.

I usually pick a few cards each year so I can send the right style to the right person. I am also lucky since there are always great cards available with a New York theme or photo. The cards from R. Nichols are always fun and cheerfully reflect Christmas in New York. I also bought an assortment of holiday cards with black and white photos of a snowy New York that are perfect for friends who don't celebrate Christmas. Kate's Paperie always has a great assortment to choose from each year.

There are also a lot of smaller printers for letterpress cards and even hand made options on Etsy. My original idea this year was to have my cards printed using a photo that I took but I ran out of time so that will have to wait until next year. Family photo cards are obviously good options for families with children or cute pets.

One of the best ideas for holiday cards are those that benefit a worthy cause. UNICEF, Robin Hood Foundation, and the ASPCA are just a few charities with their own cards.

I'm sure your friends and family will be happy to receive which ever holiday card you choose because really, it's the thought that counts! Happy Holidays!

Deck the Halls!

Have you started to deck the halls for Christmas yet? I can't wait to visit the flower district tomorrow to pick up a wreath, garland and a few Amaryllis bulbs! There was a dark cloud hanging over my holidays last year due to my job loss but now that life is good, I want to enjoy every day of this joyous season! Happy Holidays!

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Holiday Decorating with Antique Grainsacks

Everyone who regularly reads Willow Decor knows my love (obsession?!) with antique grainsacks. So can you imagine how excited I was when textile artist, Kym Fraser, of 3 Fine Grains sent me photos of her new Antique Grainsack Holiday Collection.
Kym transforms authentic antique German grainsacks, hessian and french jute into gorgeous pillows and throws, but what to do with the small scraps of the precious material that is left over? Well Kym has designed these extra pieces of history into the most wonderful Christmas ornaments and stockings.
Above is her Christmas star made out of French Hessian with real antique glass buttons.
Another star fabricated from a striped German grainsack.
One of my favorite designs is the Dove. This lovely little gem is made from 100 year old antique linen and an antique glass button eye.
Hanging in front of the Dove is an antique button over an antique spoon ornament.
Here's another one for that special mother in your life - (I hope my children are reading this!) Plain small hearts and large hearts are also available, as well as partridges. Kym's ornaments range from $10 to $15.
My other favorite items in Kym's Holiday Collection are her antique hessian and French jute stockings.
They come with a ruffled or striped cuff made from 100 year old antique linen. The striped stocking is $65 and the Ruffled $75. Surely Santa would appreciate these beauties and pack them full of goodies!!
Finally, an antique German grainsack finds new life as Christmas tree. Contact Kym directly for more information on this one of kind item. Notice that Kym also used jute upholstery webbing as garland for her tree. You can learn more about using jute upholstery webbing in home decor in my post here. Now here is the exciting part; contact Kym between now and December 6 and mention Willow Decor in comment line and you will receive 10% off your purchase. If you are interested in any of these items please contact 3 Fine Grains. Happy decorating!!!

La cajita de Clarita






 Cuando por casualidad me encontré , surfeando por ebay, esta preciosidad de caja, no dudé en hacer una puja por ella y ¡ Bingo ! Fui la única . Me pareció que la tapa era una monada y dentro de lo que cabe , estaba bien conservada. 
Ayer llegó a casa  y sólo  por diez eurillos , incluyendo transporte.




La tapa parece algo sucia, pero me da no sé qué   pasarle un paño  humedecido, no sea que me lleve algo del dibujo.
A la izquierda ,haciendo referencia a las labores  , dos chiquillas, una haciendo punto y otra cosiendo una camisita.












Al otro lado, otra pequeña arreglando unas flores en un florero. Aquí  está algo dañada,  pero le da también cierto aire que autentifica los años que tiene. 





Todo el borde está recorrido por una cinta de pasamanería , justo lo que tiene de alto la caja. Una idea interesante para cuando haga futuras cajas..... Siempre hay que aprender de lo que nos llega a las manos.



La sujeción de la tapa al interior es lo que está peor . De abrir y cerrar , el fino papel de la abertura se ha roto. Tendré que ver el modo de solucionarlo.






Una de las cosas que más me ha gustado es que se puede leer perfectamente algo escrito .............. Con esa letra tan característica , al uso de 1921............
" Regalo de Ricardo para mí el día 24 de Diciembre de 1921....... Clarita "



Me llama  mucho la atención  que alguien , así mismo , se llame con un diminutivo ¿ Qué edad tendría Clarita ".
Ahora se regalan cosas  y ya no caemos en la cuenta de escribir .... y luego recordar..... quién nos lo regaló. Es una costumbre perdida.  Como la de escribir detrás de las fotos.....". fulanito  con tantos años , el día de su cumpleaños, junto a su mamá"   .... Pero por suerte , hoy día nos llegan cosas como esta.  ¡ Qué suerte que  no se haya borrado lo que está escrito a lápiz !







Al lado de la escritura hay una pegatina que indica o quién fue el fabricante o el lugar donde se vendió.......
"Vda. de J. Camps 
Pelayo nº12
Barcelona "





Y hete aquí  que me he puesto a investigar sobre la tal Vda.de Camps........ nada ..... por mucho que he indagado, ni por el nombre, ni por la dirección he averiguado algo sobre el origen de la caja....... Pero  , he caído en la cuenta en  algo sobre la fecha que fue regalada....... ¡ Fue un regalo el día de Nochebuena de aquel 1921 ! ...... Bueno pues  al menos he intentado buscar algo sobre  tal día y  he encontrado   que fue sábado y.....

............... que fue  la onomástica de  la reina Victoria.

"Miles de personas desfilaron durante el día

por Palacio y los álbumes colocados en el

gran salón de Mayordomía llenáronse rápidamente

de firmas, habiendo necesidad de colocar

constantemente listns supletorias." Periódico La Vanguardia(24.12.1921)



............... que España andaba en guerra en  el norte de África.


"Se ha constituido una Junta, de damas, patrocinada

por la Reina Doña Victoria, con el

fin de procurar a los soldados que luchan en

África prendas de abrigo confeccionadas por

la mujer española........

—El marqués de Torrelnguna ha donado

para el Aguinaldo del Soldado» un vagón de

chocolate. "



..............Una curiosidad en la sección de camisería en un anuncio de una sastrería, también en el mismo periódico.



"Camisas confeccionadas desde 4'95 Ptas. Camisas a la medida, con madapolán Viuda Tolra, á  10 Ptas., con pechera piqué. Calzoncillos desde 3'50 Ptas. Cuellos, desde 0'50 Ptas...."


..............Otro que me ha hecho reir.




"Vuestra mirada traidora,

vuestra sin igual albura

y vuestra faz tersa y pura,

dicen que usáis, vos, señora,

los productos PECA-CURA.

Jabón, 1'SO. Crema, 2'3Ú, Polvos, 2'SO. Agua

cutánea, S'SO. Agua de Colonia, 3'.M, 6, 10 y Ifí

pesetas, seyún ¡rasco.Lociones para el velo 4'SO

6'SO y 20 peseta», según frasco.

ULTIMAS CREACIONES"


Interesante ¿ no ? saber lo que ocurría alrededor de la vida de esta gente.

Si tuviera  una máquina del tiempo  , me trasladaría justo a aquel momento en el que Ricardo le regaló esta caja como recuerdo  a Clarita .


Ahora me cabe la duda de si forrarla con tela por dentro y usarla para guardar algunos de esos tesoros de antaño. ¿ Me das tu consejo ?
