Most of you know I am not a lover of the vintage elf. They kind of give me the creeps.
But mid-way through December, my daughter decides she wants to do "The Elf on the Shelf" project. And proceeds to grab one of the vintage elves out of my Etsy inventory.
His name is now "Bob". And he has traveled the last couple of weeks with his trusty pal "Blitzen" throughout our vintage home.
Ok, so they never made it out of the family room, but you get the picture.
This vintage elf has started to grow on me. Maybe it's his surroundings, or his cute little pal, but I don't find him nearly as creepy anymore.
In fact, I'm thinking Bob and Blitzen may play a prominent role in the year to come. I have many projects in mind for them. A starring role in my Etsy shop. Perhaps even a book deal!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season, from all of us here at Vintage Junk in My Trunk. And Bob.
I love the elf going through the house on tour LOL

I like him way more than the one that everyone I know seems to be using. And the fact that he has a little mischievous little friend makes him even better. We haven't started that around my house yet. The Little Dude is a bit young for it yet. I'm pretty happy about that!

('TWEED' asked me to write...) He is VERY glad to discover his cousin Roberto's whereabouts after all of these years! Robbie ran away from home as a teen - ALWAYS a 'tree hugging, free-spirit ~ said he was going to go see the world and 'commune' with nature, 'didn't care where his path went, just wanted to find adventures' - so he packed Baby Blitz in the family pick-up, and off they went- nobody has heard anything of him since... THANK YOU for giving him a GOOD HOME!! Tweed.
