Vintage Charm, MCM Style

One of the happiest traditions each year is decorating December's holiday tree. It's an activity that everyone can enjoy, especially if mugs of peppermint hot cocoa are on hand.

A holiday tree can be a magical centerpiece in any modern home, and it's always fun to see what's new on the market to accompany that focal point. This year we discovered some exciting ornaments that offer vintage charm and mid‐century style.

Coming in at number one are the cloisonné ornament collections from DestinationPSP, a popular gift headquarters in Palm Springs. Their detailed architectural ornaments, which feature iconic folded‐plate and butterfly‐roofed homes, are among our favorite MCM designs.

Another wonderful addition to your tree are 'Retro Rounds' inspired by Christopher Radko, who's been crowned the 'Ornament King,' with holiday decorations that have graced celebrity homes for decades.

So…whether you're looking for a nostalgic touch to add to an existing collection, or something exciting and new, we're sure you'll appreciate these timely selections.
