The combination of vintage skates and greenery to decorate for the holidays? Who would have thought? But don’t you love it?

Throw in some winter plaid and we’re talking some serious holiday goodness:

And vintage sleds – they’re also at the top of my “vintage stuff I want to decorate my house for the holidays with”. This one would be beautiful sitting on a front porch filled with greenery:

or how about a vintage Flexible Flyer decorated with greenery and a bow propped up in your family room:

So what happens when you combine ice skates and sleds?

Kris,
I just LOVE your Blog!!!!

Thank you so, so much!
I love the skates idea. It feels so festive and fun. I bet you still have a few moves in you.
Such fun inspiration, Kris! I’m always on the hunt for skates at garage sales, but no luck yet.
I love these winter vignettes….so pretty! I bet you could find a vintage looking pair of skates at a second-hand sports store…..we have a couple in our area that I get my kids’ skates at and some of the skates look pretty well-worn. They would be so cute on your future vintage sled!
I love seeing vintage items used in holiday decor and the skates and sleds are super cute!
Love these items but I’m gunning for a nice sled if I can. Love all the inspiration Kris!
I remember seeing ice skates used on a front door one Christmas on Cape Cod and was immediately enchanted! I had some for sale but they went right away! I hope the cute toddler sled finds a good home though! Thanks for the inspiration Kris!
That toddler sled is so amazing – wish I had a big front porch because it would be mine!!
I love this idea. And roller skating…those are good memories. 🙂
I’m with you…I used to think I was pretty slick in my roller skates, but not on the ice. Love the look of ice skates and would love an old pair to decorate with! So pretty!
Now I feel like I need a sled! I dug out my skates yesterday and draped them over a ladder that sits on my stairway. Love the look… but I think it needs a bit of a red bow now, too. 😉
I just got back from the Country Living Holiday Bazaar and there were lots and lots of skates and sleds! I had already maxed out my shopping budget so they ‘ll have to wait until next year’s Christmas decorating 🙂
I have an old pair of ice skates tied on a thrifted flexible flyer on my front porch right now! You just gave me some good ideas of a few more cute additions to make, though…
