Vintage Christmas Monday





This week I wanted to share another piece of Christmas from my childhood.  I thought this humble set of  "Made in Japan" mugs always had cool graphics.  Both of my Grandmothers had a set exactly alike.  Many mugs of hot chocolate and chocolate milk were slurped from these!

The kneehugger is one of two I found this year.  He's perched on one of my red Pyrex refrigerator dishes.  My plan is to finish decorating the dining room and show you a little of that next Monday.

Hope you all have a wonderful week and be sure to stop by to see Joan, the hostess of  Vintage Christmas Monday.  There you will find a list of participants on the right side of her blog, Anything Goes Here.  It has been so much fun to see all the creative Vintage Christmas displays.

  4. This is the second post with kneehuggers I've seen today, and I never even heard of them before! I feel like I really missed something.

  6. Hi Paige! I love your set of mugs! I've never seen anything like them, but you better believe that if I did, they would come home with me! And your kneehugger is cute. I've always loved those goofy guys, ever since I was a little girl. Looking forward to seeing what you'll have next week!
    Happy VCM!

  8. Love the mugs. We had a red elf just like that on our tree when we were kids. I have a green one but it is a new re-make. I know not the right term but that is what he is. Thanks for sharing.
