two vintage notes

While looking through one of my vintage magazines, I came across this Hallmark ad. There's something about this wrapping paper's exact color combination — pinks, blues, purples, pops of yellow and orange — that I find delicious. I was going to say that it makes me happy, but that's not it; it's more of a craving that's been satisfied. Bonus points for the super fluffy yarn pom on top of the gift. 

And this page, below, is from 1967. I like a handmade Christmas ornament, especially one that I'd like to hang on my tree. I happen to have a silver plastic spool in my stash, along with a decades-old box of beads and sequins... So, consider this page a prequel to a post. 

xo!
