Countdown to Kitschmas Day 1 ~ Let the hopping begin!

Do you hear the choir singing?


One of my delights is listening to Christmas CDs that I have purchased at thrift shops throughout the year.  Isn't that artwork cool man?  Paul Freeman's Joy To The World.  What I am listening to Christmas with the Norman Luboff Choir, originally recorded in 1964, re-released in 1990 in this format.



One from my collection of AVON pin pals - this is Gingerbread Pin Pal (1972).


These are the bling cards I am sending out this year (thrift shop 50 cents, retail $11.95).  The troll was a thrift shop rescue this past year.


THE BEST source of kitsch has to be my go-to favorite shopgoodwill.com.  Last month these reindeer sold for nearly $30.

The Countdown to Kitschmas has begun!
On this 24-day blog hop, you can link in anytime during that period, no rules - other than family friendly, no follows required, link up your posts that are:

Kitschy
Quirky
Retro/Vintage
Outfits - Ugly Christmas Sweaters most def welcome!  
Sending holiday good thoughts and wishes ~

  1. I envy you your photos. I rarely have enough time to get the photos I want. If you visit my site today you won't see retro but a nice nativity set. I will be back to follow the countdown. I love Christmas. Enjoy Saturday Sharefest.

    1. I'm a picture-takin addict. You have to have mainly original source photos for Blogger otherwise the images "disappear." Off to visit you!

  4. Thanks for coming by and checking out my countdown stuff too.
    I did not see a different blog button other than the small one above so, I am grabbing it and putting it on my blog. I will then remember to come back daily.
