OLD-FASHIONED CHRISTMAS CARDS | Our Holiday Greeting To You!

“Dear Friends,
Sending you many heartwarming holiday greetings to you and your home from our cottage. May you cherish every charming moment of the season. We hope this finds you well with our best wishes for a bright new year of adventures and dreams coming true.”

We hope you enjoyed receiving our virtual Christmas card, since we wish we could send out the old-fashioned way to all of you! Jonas & I thought we’d share a little about the vintage inspiration for this year’s card. It’s our 2nd Christmas in the cottage and also the 2nd time we’ve sent out cards.

It’s a treasured tradition since the 1840s that we couldn’t take part in for the first few years of our marriage when we were traveling internationally and didn’t even have a real address to call “home”. So it feels extra special to be able to send these cards out, made with so much love, to our kindred spirits around the world.

We’re always inspired by the idyllic and cozy winter scenes of Christmas cards past. The top left is the one we used and altered for our card
Norman Rockwell’s paintings on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post of the bygones eras always bring so much Christmas cheer
Inspired by the heart and warmth of Rockwell’s paintings, Jonas made us into one from an advent fika time with Christmas crackers!
Rockwell truly captured the essence of a good old-fashioned family Christmas. 

P.S. Check out the Norman Rockwell museum we visit in Massachusetts HERE!

So, our dear friends, we know we won’t be having a white Christmas this year like we did last year, because we are going to be in California with Lindsay’s family! We hope you’ll be spending the holidays with loved ones and cherishing every charming moment.

Merry Christmas & God Jul!
-Lindsay & Jonas
