Our home beholds some extra sparkle this time of year. More magic.
Some sweetly perfect-as-they-are-able gingerbread cookies made by little hands. Love for our family, present and past. Simple paper snowflakes, and real ones outside too.
Our old-fashioned glittery holiday balls (missing bits of shine, and hardly shiny, or new, or bright—but, just right). Yellowed-aged ivory snowflakes holding happy memories from those who once cherished them—now reflecting our own old-fashioned holiday—
—enjoying simple joys of simpler times.
And so, with this simple sentiment, we present...
This season, let the children fly...
back to a time when play was simple...
lovely...
Celebrate simply, and cherish echos of joys past.
wood ride-on aeroplane | old-fashioned pick up sticks game | glass marbles | wooden rocking horse | doll pram | girl's gown | child's tool set
A treasury of simple, old-fashioned playthings we gathered from the treasures at alex and alexa.
Reminding you this year not to surround yourself with lots of stuff, but to choose just a few well-made, handmade, and well-chosen gifts that will be treasured, truly treasured forever. And, to enjoy all the old-fashioned baking, and making, and sparkle that make this holiday magical.
