Midcentury Glam Christmas Tree and Decor

Traditional Nordic Sweater Patterns
With my Norwegian roots, traditional Nordic sweaters hold a special place in my heart. They inspired the coziest and most intricate designs in our collection, each pattern weaving a tale of warmth and love. (Photo credit: Life in Norway)

1955 Chrysler New Yorker
A personal touch from the past—the 1955 Chrysler New Yorker, my great grandfather's pride and joy. Along with my dad's Studebaker pickup and my husband's 1955 Chevy, these classic cars ignited a timeless appeal in the final designs. (Photo credit: Thompson Chrysler on Pinterest)
Old Christmas Lights

DIY Midcentury Christmas Village
Oh, the joy of getting crafty! When I stumbled upon Simple Mint Creative's midcentury mini houses, I knew they would inspire something in the collection, and that I absolutely have to build them this Christmas. The perfect DIY project to embrace the season! (Photo credit: Simple Mint Creative)

Textures, colors, and movement came together beautifully in this vintage snowman card. It was pure magic, and it inspired our whimsical motifs, giving a touch of animation to our designs. (Photo Credit: Melissa Kavanaugh on Pinterest)
