Enter to win a beautiful set of handmade Christmas ornaments from Vintage Twee

We’ve made it, my dears, through the ups and the downs, the rough and the wonderful, we as a collective whole have pulled through eleven months of 2010 to reach today, the first of December. Whatever came before us is now a memory and what lies ahead is the splendour and joy of the holiday season.

To celebrate this most fantastic of months, Chronically Vintage has teamed up with UK based Vintage Twee to bring you the opportunity to win a four piece set of incredibly pretty Christmas ornaments that have been loving handcrafted from vintage materials.

For those who haven’t had the pleasure of encountering Vintage Twee yet, this delightful line (which is available for sale on the Vintage Twee homepage, as well as on etsy) specializes in a range of elegant, timelessly lovely vintage home decor, table decor and paper craft items that are marvellously suited to special events such as weddings, holidays, showers, and tea parties. (Should you be after a custom order, Vintage Twee is happy to create the perfect vintage inspired decorative items for any event. Be sure to check out this page if you’re interested in placing a custom order.)

The items from this company (which include such treasures as paper roses, cupcake flags, party favour boxes, and darling paper fortune cookies) are constructed using a range of vintage materials from sheet music to lace, genuine old school love letters to feminine pearls. The general aesthetic of this line is one of traditional English charm and beauty (this pale hues, generous doses of romantic florals, etc), yet the pieces themselves would look perfectly at home in any vintage lover’s abode.

In the spirit of the holiday season, however, this giveaway is for a set of wonderful Christmas ornaments. Each bubble (which measures about 16 centimetres in diameter) is made with exquisite care and attention to detail, and will be sure to add a stellar dose of vintage charm to your holiday decor.





{Please note the actual set of ornaments that the winner will receive may differ slightly from the ones shown in the photos above, as each bubble is handmade from vintage materials which the company often only has small quantities of. However, I’ve been assured that the ornaments you receive will be very similar in every way to the ones pictured here.}


This contest (which is open to visitors worldwide) will run between today and Sunday December 12, 2010, 2010 (the giveaway will officially close at 11:59pm EST that night), with the lucky winner being selected (via a random number generator) – and announced here on Chronically Vintage – the following day.

  1. Oh my, such a sweet giveaway. Happy December 1st. My husband and I have been collecting vintage Christmas goodies for a number of years and we have both gathered our ornaments and familial Christmas decorations. This is the first year we will be decorating with them. We have been out of town for the holidays for all of our Christmas' together. We are so excited to see how they will look merged together. I love taking out all of our goodies and remembering where they all came from. It means so very much to me.

    love love,

  3. Beautiful tree decorations. I cannot abide trees covered in plastic ornaments and too much tinsel. Christmas trees should be as much a reflectionof their owner as the rest of the house :-)

  4. My favorite memory is from when I was about 6 years old, my parents were telling me that the christmas angel is decorating our living room and I was supposed to stay outside, so I remember trying to look trough the keyhole for a while. My parents managed to have me belive in these fantasies for quite some time :D My favorite bvintage christmas decoration is a gorgeous Teddy Bear Angel wearing a white/silver dress and holding a candle, we always put it on top of our tree ever since I was little. It's become a tacky tradition ;P

  6. Lovely ornaments, wonderful blog :)

    My favourite Christmas memory is my sweet fiance proposing to me on Christmas morning... and on the radio in the background was the song "Grandma got run over by a reindeer". It makes me laugh every time I think about it.

  11. my favorite memory is from when I was really young and all my family got together on christmas eve to celebrate. We would open presents and then eat a huge dinner. It was wonderful time!
    I decorate vintage by putting up black/white ornaments with a touch of red lace. I love "old hollywood style" and always use vintage ornaments and lace when decorating.

  28. My favorite holiday memory is when my younger brother and I attempted to stay up all night with our eyes fixed on the Christmas tree in hopes of catching Santa putting our gifts under the tree. We didn't make it of course; we awoke Christmas morning cuddled beside the tree surrounded by gifts.
