I found this vintage photo and enlarged it for the window display when I owned an antique store several years ago. What this family has is priceless. Notice that there is no wallpaper or sheet rock on the walls, and the tree and it's ornaments are meager. But what we see here is love. Two children are scrubbed clean with fresh bows in their groomed hair. Dad is away at war but not forgotten. This is not my family, but I would be proud to be among their members. I plan to use this photo copy to make cards for my real estate clients this year, or maybe next...I should have started sooner...Don't miss out on all the fun of Vintage Christmas Monday by clicking the button on the sidebar. Thanks so much to Joan for hosting this event!

Yes, that is what is all about. Look at those cuties... and those dollies are pretty good sized! Their parents wanted them to have a great holiday even though times were tough. It would be a wonderful card for your real estate customers...a little reminder about what is important during another tough time. xo Joan
