Advent Count Down Blocks

My kids are already counting down the days to Christmas so I couldn't resist making some of these fun Advent blocks:  The Santa set:

Angel To Watch Over You - Vintage Gas Can Winter Centerpiece

Oh my goodness!  I have been having so much fun taking vintage items and turning them into something fun!  Here is my latest creation.  It's an old gas can that has been painted with a guardian angel who is watching over a sweet prim farmhouse and farm. 

A sleigh and snowman keep the farmhouse company:

 The tag reads:  For he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91:11

The back has some fun wintery sheep and a pond:

So, what do you think?  Do you like seeing vintage items made new?

Frosty

Making creations for the holiday season has me singing little tunes over and over and over again in my head!  I bet you can guess what I've been singing as I've been working on this one:

"Frosty" features a hand painted snowman with a cute little bird sitting on his carrot nose.  Rusty snowflakes as well as snowflake buttons add to the fun.

Now, I hope you'll be singing "Frosty the Snowman" the rest of  the day!  LOL!
