It's Time!

    I know, December 11th and this is my FIRST post of the season? The spirit is hitting a bit late this year, I'm afraid... I hope to have more soon, though.

      Such earnest little faces on these little paper(?) darlings!

    2. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Yes, paper. The expression on that little green guy really gets me!

    3. Charm and Poise (30 months ago | reply)

      They look like they really, really want to do a good job of spreading Christmas cheer.

    4. *julia (30 months ago | reply)

      So cute! And so nice to see you, Karen! It wouldn't be Christmas around here without you! :-)

      I haven't posted one Christmas-y thing yet ...

    5. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      They really do! I'm afraid the pink bird is already worried about how crushed he'll get during storage for next year, though. I'm rooting for him!

    6. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Hi JULIA!!!!!!!! Yes, it wouldn't be Christmas around here without you,either! I'm glad I'm not the only late starter!

    7. Charm and Poise (30 months ago | reply)

      Yes, they can't imagine how they'll survive the season but they're trusting it will happen!

      Hi Julia!

    8. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      They live such precarious construction paper lives ... but yet they have dreams!

    9. Charm and Poise (30 months ago | reply)

      Big dreams and big hearts!

    10. *julia (30 months ago | reply)

      Hi, hi!

      Oh, this reprise of the Sharon and Karen hour is warming the cockles of my heart! ;-)

    11. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Awww, it's warming mine, too! I miss this place soooo much!

    12. Charm and Poise (30 months ago | reply)

      Feels like old times around here tonight!

    13. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Oh, I sure hope we can keep the old times feeling around for the whole season!?!

    14. spins LPs (30 months ago | reply)

      Bah humbug!

    15. Charm and Poise (30 months ago | reply)

      Leave it to spins to humbug everything!

    16. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Spins - Did Carmen get stuck in the fence or something?? Why so glum!?

    17. *julia (30 months ago | reply)

      Stuck in the fence, ha!

      Well goodness, I guess I'd better get scanning ...

    18. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Yes, Julia, you'd best do it! I'd better get going as well.... time is running out!

    19. kristenaderrick (30 months ago | reply)

      I love these!

    20. JoulesVintage (30 months ago | reply)

      Well how about this? Really worth waiting for, I'll say!

    21. srk1941 (30 months ago | reply)

      Christmas for poor people, how appropriate this year!

      I blame Eartha for our bah humbugs!

      I did decorate the tree, i'll take pics and post after my gay meeting.

    22. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      kristenaderrick - Me, too!

      Joules - Thanks! These guys are pretty great, I think!

      Steven - Yes! Power to the poor people! I can't even afford construction paper and Sharpies this year. You really MUST post photos after your Nagel infused meeting!

    23. srk1941 (30 months ago | reply)

      That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. I'm poor this year, but I can at least buy a nice bound pad of construction paper, in a rainbow assortment of colors. I might even have the cash left over for a nice Sharpie. Oh, if only I had enough for postage...

    24. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Oh, Steven, the POSTAGE!! Don't make me cry! I've had precious, precious things here to send off to the USA for sooo long now that they've all gathered real DUST!? Be grateful I was able to send you those much maligned and hated Ketchup Chips before I ran out of funds!!!!

    25. Charm and Poise (30 months ago | reply)

      It seems right, though, that you used your last funds on the mailing of those chips, MRM. It makes my witnessing Steven eating those chips like a moment of religious revelation!

      I'm poor too this year. Scanning in vintage magazines is my only Christmas contribution to the season!

    26. *julia (30 months ago | reply)

      Me, too ... thankfully I have a little stash. It's so depressing not to be able to afford to do kitschmas shopping this season ...

    27. Caffinara (30 months ago | reply)

      Awe so cute

    28. * Eartha Kitsch * (30 months ago | reply)

      Oh! You're here! You're here! Now, Christmas can start! I love these guys. And all you guys! And why is Steven blaming me?

    29. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Sharon, I'm forever grateful that there's video evidence that such a moment ever existed!!!!

      Julia - Oh, I sooo know what you mean ... I've had lovely little items for both you and Sharon waiting here since perhaps JULY!? JUST tonight, I blew the dust off of such items!!

    30. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Caffinara - Thanks! They are!

      Eartha - You're here!!!!!!! Yes, Christmas can really start now! Is Steven blaming you!?? I thought *I* was the bad queer apple here!?

    31. * Eartha Kitsch * (30 months ago | reply)

      Yeppers. He said, "I blame Eartha for our bah humbugs!" up there. I think that he thinks that I am supposed to be off doing something of worldly Christmas importance. Which I am. Doggone it. I want to stay HERE!

    32. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      You feel free to stay here with us and the construction paper cutouts, honey!

    33. Charm and Poise (30 months ago | reply)

      Those little items will find their way to each of us eventually. We know that you'll treat them right until then!

      Yeah, stay here with us and put slightly sad eyes on little paper ornament animals!

    34. *julia (30 months ago | reply)

      Hey, I'm touched you even thought of me, Karen! No need to actually send anything! xoxo

    35. SpacePotato (30 months ago | reply)

      Fabulous! Now I'm off on a hunt for craft paper.

    36. CheshireCat666 (30 months ago | reply)

      welcome to the party,yo!

    37. ~RichArtpix~ (30 months ago | reply)

      when the spirit hits late, it hits a lot harder

    38. srk1941 (30 months ago | reply)

      Jeesh, I made it out alive!

      Eartha, you ABANDONED us until YESTERDAY!!!

      Kitschmas traditionally starts around November 10th... The DAY you hightailed it outta here.

      So, yes, I do blame you for our blahs, but now that you're back, let's turn those blahs into AHS!!!!!

      MERRY KITSCHMAS!!!

    45. Miss Retro Modern (30 months ago | reply)

      Julia - Oh, it'll get there eventually! I promise! I can't believe I've been this poor TWO Christmases in a row!?

      SpacePotato - YOU of all people should have craft paper at your disposal for this sort of thing!

      Brian - I'm trying! I'm soooo behind that it's not even remotely funny!

      RichArtpix - Oh, sooo true!

      Steven - I'm thrilled you made it out alive, but don't you harass our poor Eartha Mae!!!!!

      Skip - Halloooooo!

      Ms. Emily Meeks - Thanks!

      Monimania - Yes! I'm so glad it's Kitschmas!

      Averyl - I could never abandon you for too long!!!!

      BeeJayKay - Thanks! They really are cute, no!?

    46. ilovecoffeeyesido (30 months ago | reply)

      Reading these comments and seeing this post reminds me of that very Flickr Christmas, 2007.... :^)

    47. srk1941 (30 months ago | reply)

      Remember that, and our Cadillac and trailer ROAD TRIP of the very same year!

    48. *julia (30 months ago | reply)

      I do! :-)

    49. ilovecoffeeyesido (30 months ago | reply)

      Ah, I remember it well! *sigh*

    50. ~ Liberty Images (30 months ago | reply)

      These are rather cute, though...They look awfully excited, too! What all are they staring at, do you wonder? Is Santa's rear end stuck in the fireplace again?

    51. Opal in the rough (30 months ago | reply)

      my eyes are wide with delight!
