Your kitties are the cutest always wanting to know what your creating

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Thank you! 😊

[@LindaWhitehouse-d4z]

I absolutely love them them all. I could watch you craft all day. I think Jingles is a good name for your clown. Love the vintage. Reminds me of my childhood back in the 60’s. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas with us. I think your room will be amazing!!❤️

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Thank you so much! 😊😊😊

I love everything, the clown truck is my favorite ❤

You know how I love my vintage Christmas! These are wonderful Annie.

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Thanks so much! I've gotten a lot of inspiration from your vintage videos as well my friend

[@christinecohen8687]

I enjoyed this beautiful crafting. So nostalgic.❤️ So well done.

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you're liking this season's retro style

[@vickiemoore8181]

So much fun!!!❤. That red ribbon was just the perfect red to go with Santa.

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

I think so too! Thank you

[@jodyatsouthernseasons]

I loved all of your projects Annie. That vintage looking wreath was my favorite.

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Thank you so much Jody! So fun to collaborate with you

[@whatlolawants2167]

Hello little Miss Christmas ❤ Wowzers Annie, You've got your theme and you're running within. That frame is definitely a lucky find, what is wrong with your neighbors? Better off for you, the Santa looks Fantastic in it! Your ornaments are so adorable & MCM I love that but the peice de resistance, I'm over the moon for that bus! It's fabulous, the way you filled that hole making it a collaboration for Christmas and fixing that clown so well. At the final reveal I noticed something though, his little round nose was not red. Strictly the artist choice of course, the whole thing is Amazingly wonderful. As always I love you, God bless ya'll. ❤

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Yes I painted red after I noticed it too!!! 😀😀😀

[@ceejdiy]

Good morning Annie those creations are gorgeous love the retro/vintage vibe the wreath is stunning the vintage Santa and Carols booklet what an amazing find the train the ornaments all so beautiful amazing video my friend have a great day ❤❤❤

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Thank you so much! 😊😊😊😊 Many blessings to you my friend

[@evelynmatheson2117]

Love "Tinsel the Clown" and the circus truck! So clever and cute! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!❤😄

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Thank you! 😊 I like tinsel the clown myself

[@Elizabeth-arb22]

I just love everything you did -- you are so talented! I am particularly charmed by the circus wagon. The clown's new head and hat are adorable, and the way you decorated the top of the wagon is so sweet (pun intended :-) I liked the name Jingles, so I looked it up because it seemed familiar. Apparently, Jingles the Clown is a 2009 horror film! Yikes! So I vote for "Tinsel" the clown. I think the little clown is perfect as he is, as is the whole circus wagon. What a find -- that you made into a treasure! 💚💗💚💗💚

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Oh definitely! We have to keep the name tinsel and not use jingle. Thanks for the information. Thanks for watching as well

[@shabbymeetsbling615]

Absolutely fabulous collection of retro/vintage Christmas!!! ❤💚❤💚 Everything, simply everything was so wonderful Annie! It has put me in the mood to start creating for the season😊 🎄Thanks so much my sweet friend for sharing and being part of this collab! Hugs are coming your way😘🤗

[@memecats5698]

Normally I don’t like pastel colors for Christmas I like dark red green blue and so on but that reef you did it beginning it does bring back my childhood because I’m old and I like the reef exactly the way it is with all the mixture colors and the pastel colors. 👍👍❤️❤️

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Yes, definitely. What a mixture of colors. Thanks again for watching

[@mcadoovicky6465]

I think a little red ruffled collar around the clowns neck would be cute. And some fairy lights around/under the top of the truck like Christmas lites

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

That's a great idea. I might add a little lace ruffle to his neck. Thank you for the suggestion. I'm so glad you're like

[@KathyHanson-q7m]

Great projects!!! The white frame you could wax in a coordinating color? Great additions to the circus wagon too! LOVE LOVE IT ALL!

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Yes! Thank you!

[@mcadoovicky6465]

I love all this decor it’s from the same time frame as me. Lol. When you pulled out that lampshade, I guess my aunt has those lampshades. I was born in 1957 so that’s the timeframe..

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

I was so lucky to find lampshade and find a lamp that matched it too

How wonderful! Looks like a Christmas when I was a child. Your nice lampshade is fiberglass!(I’m an auctioneer & appraiser) And don’t people call us “rubberneckers” when we stretch to see roadside trash, etc

Really so do you think I got a good price for the lampshade? I think it came out to $4. Thanks again

Blown away with the circus truck. I liked all your projects though. I need to start picking stuff up from places like Goodwill. The problem I'm finding is they have unrealistic prices on stuff. One can usually pick up the same item new for less.

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Oh no! The prices at Goodwill are horrible. I have a new thrift store that opened up recently and they support the Cancer society and many things. I also found at church bazaars the truck I believe was from an antique store that really lowered their price on little truck because of all the damage it had but Goodwill has gotten crazy again. I'm also lucky that people throw things away a lot here. That's where I got the frame. Thanks again

[@bevhueffmeier949]

I grew up in the fifties & sixties. Your ornaments bring back such wonderful memories. You know that your iron method works, also, on plain old white school glue? Just let the glue dry before ironing on the decoupage paper.😊 I love the little clown truck. However, the clown looks a bit creepy without hair. Maybe add some yarn or embroidery thread, stiffened with starch to his head? 🤡

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Thank you so much for the suggestion of the glue. That's a good idea and much cheaper the thing with the clown and the creepy face, I hate to say it. There are so many items that are from that time. That have creepy Santa faces and snowman a creepy clown fits just perfectly thanks again
