I decided to decorate the mantel with a simple symmetrical look.
These vintage skiers belonged to my Grandma Ruby.
I was always fascinated by them when I was a child.
I wish I knew where & when she bought them.
There are no marks on the bottom.

Always loved the ski people. She told me where she got them, but I can't recall. Maybe my memory will turn that info lose one day.
ReplyDeleteJust right for winter and cute, too!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever done any research on the skiers? They are so vintage. I'll do some searching online myself.
ReplyDeleteOh, those skiers are just the perfect touch! : ) So unique!
ReplyDeleteShe might have got them on her travels to Alaska or Canada. How far back did she have them?

I love your decorations. I haven't inherited very many of my Grandma's collectables but I cherish the one's I do have. She loved chickens and birds. I'm a new follower from Katherine's Corner. I hope you have a great weekend. Doylene
ReplyDeleteI love them too they would go perfect in my ski lodge themed guest room! LoL. Have a great day. Pat
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm traveling with Liz on Time Travel Thursdays. Your two side-by-side icons opposing one another (on her links)is interesting. That's what drew my attention here. The mystery in the hand-me-down knick knacks is neat, don't you think? Will always make you wonder, always make you think about them in two precious ways. Enjoyed thinking about it along with you!

ReplyDeleteHad to click on the 2nd icon (link) on Liz's links. So, here I am again. Found you are on Pinterest. I just started that addiction last night. Uh oh. Also, gives me a chance to say nice background on your blog. Jenn
ReplyDeleteThose look cool. They remind me of smoe figurines my mother in law had.
ReplyDeleteDelightful statues and they look so at home on your mantel piece. Just hopping from Katherine's Corner and having a wow of a time. TFS I'm now following. Cheers
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Thank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!

Those little skiers are adorable! I have never seen any like them, though if I do, I will definitely take note.
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable! Cute mantel. Mine just got changed after Christmas! Sometimes E-bay is a good source for information. You can try various search terms and see if something pops up!
ReplyDeleteThese guys are adorable! I can well see why you've been intrigued with them.

Your mantel looks great. Those little figures remind me of some my mom-in-law has - hers are children, not skiers - but they aren't marked either. I am struggling with redoing my mantel - maybe I need to stick with simple and symmetrical too.
ReplyDeleteHow fun that your little skiers have pleasant memories attached. It's always a joy to decorate with items that hold special meaning to us, isn't it? By the way, I love the image you've used as your blog banner. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday. Hope to see you again this week.
Blessings,
