With all the upheaval and stress that has been the last year, people are looking for things that make them safer and calm. This has developed into a nostalgic trend where people are remembering times in their lives that were simpler. They are looking for the reassurance that days past had to offer. 

That means that cheeky, saucy, fun is on the way. I have been obsessed with things that are mid-century and atomic era design for a while now. Finally everyone else has caught up.

I am loving items that look like what my Mom had when I was a kid, especially reflector ornaments and the kissing Santas. Those were some of my favorites.

The Santa's with the fun expressions like winking or smirking just make me smile. It seems like everything during this period just had a quirky, fun attitude. Who couldn't use a little (or a lot) of that joy right now? Below are a few of my favorite retro items. Shop these or see our complete line of retro ornaments by clicking the title of this page.
