D is for Deer
I simply adore the kitschy deer from the 1940s and the 1950s. I don't know why but I have none of the figurines or anything. I have some deer images and a few large art prints of deer but I don't have any vintage deer. I need to get myself in gear and get some vintage deer, my dear. Deer are such beautiful and graceful animals. I think they are a lovely part of nature.
This is my personal favorite vintage santa and deer image. This image was actually in a 1940 magazine.
"November 1940~Went to the market today and saw Ellen McIntosh. I talked to her about the Ladies Luncheon at church and she said she would be arranging the decorations and wanted me to do the flowers. I told her I would. I washed and dried all of the bedding, aired the beds out, and put fresh sheets blankets and quilts on all of the beds. Since Thanksgiving is over I'm going to start my Christmas decorating. Received my favorite housekeeping magazine what a lovely Christmas ad I found on one of the pages I think I will frame this up and add it to my Christmas decor this year. Warm Wishes, Ruby"

Here is another vintage deer and Santa image I adore (Ruby does, too). This picture is actually from the 1950s but I wanted to add it to show everyone how cute that baby deer is laying there.
I'm linking up to Alphabe-Thursday which is one of my favorite blog hops ever! Go to Mrs. Matlock's classroom to see more fun posts.

I like these images, too. The fawn snoozing by Santa is very sweet. A different time, for sure.
I really like these too.
The vintage images are fun!
I love the kitschy deer, too.
I found some delightful clip-art to use on my Christmas cards this year!
I think the recipients were quite delighted!
Thanks for a fun link for the letter "D".
