I hope you all had a nice Christmas! I wanted to share a few photos from a recent trip to the National Christmas Museum in Paradise, PA. Laurie got the idea to take a road trip here after seeing the museum written up in her Martha Stewart Living magazine and we ended up having a fantastic time. Just like their website says…its not what you expect!

Woolworth’s…apparently, the man who donated to the center spent over a decade scouring antique shops and estate sales looking for these items and signage, most of them in their original packaging! |
