Retro House Numbers

For those of you who (like me) like kitschy stuff ....I found these awesome retro house numbers today! They come in black but you can paint them to match your house.

Aren't they cute? They can be found at Old Florida Retro.

Mid Century Modern Gingerbread House

Since yesterday was Christmas I'm posting a picture of my first attempt at a mid-century modern gingerbread house. Notice the pink flamingo. Last summer I bought a package of flamingo swizzle sticks at the dollar store and I just cut the top off and used that for the lawn ornament. :)

I wish I would have had more time and better tools to create it. (I only had a knife and my fingers...except for the wreath which was made with those gel icing tubes from the grocery store) Maybe in my next attempt I will have more professional tools available. This was made with a pattern I created. I'm thinking about possibly selling the pattern next Christmas if there is enough interest. I hope to come up with at least a couple more retro gingerbread house patterns between now and then.
