Not only does it bring a touch of history to the holiday season (Christmases past and all that jazz), but it also personally brings me joy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January when I pack everything away neatly, to await next year, I immediately start thinking about what collections I need to add to throughout the year. So if you&#8217;re weird like me and love to search around outside of the Christmas season, I&#8217;d love to share some tips to make finding vintage items year-round something fun and fulfilling for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-on-tree.jpg\" alt=\"Collecting vintage Christmas decorations year-round vintage ornaments\" class=\"wp-image-85783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-on-tree.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-on-tree-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-on-tree-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-on-tree-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-on-tree-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Last year, I wanted to begin a collection of vintage ornaments in the pinecone shape.

Estate sales also seem to be fewer and far between in the winter months. But when things warm up, the schedule gets full of places to search. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Searching for Christmas decorations year-round is the perfect hobby, so when I am<a href=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/blue-and-white-christmas-decor-ideas-and-a-silver-tree\/\"> ready to decorate come the holidays<\/a>, I have enough vintage ornaments or other collections to make my Christmas decorating ideas happen. Planning ahead also takes the stress out of decorating for the holidays in creative ways.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments.jpg\" alt=\"Collecting vintage Christmas decorations year-round vintage ornaments 3 pinecones\" class=\"wp-image-85785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bungalow47.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vintage-pinecone-ornaments-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">I found 3 more pinecones at an estate sale in April. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Not everyone is planning ahead and thinking about Christmas. If you are, then you have the advantage of finding the goodies before someone else does. Who doesn&#8217;t love a competitive edge?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus you never know when you will stumble upon a fabulous pile of vintage Christmas ornaments!

I am still searching but keeping my eyes open for new collections too. Whatever you are thinking you might want, here are a few tips to start your search,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>do a bit of internet research<\/strong> &#8211; learn a bit about styles and the different periods that the item came from. Look into differences in colors or materials, and make notes you can keep in your phone that will be easily accessed while shopping. Note different manufacturers and brands and what to look for in the items you want.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>check prices and set a budget<\/strong> &#8211; check <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+naAgHoEooHKn_Bi4UjEmrw\">Etsy<\/a> or eBay for average prices of what things are selling for and set a budget for yourself. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the thrill when looking for vintage treasures. It is best to have a maximum budget to know whether something is a good deal or not. Of course, this can always be adjusted if you find that diamond in the rough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>join Facebook groups<\/strong> &#8211; chances are, if you love something and are interested in it, there are others out there too. Search Facebook for collector groups or forums, find fun blogs to inspire you for your decor, and find your people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>seek out vintage shows that are in your style<\/strong> &#8211; summer is the time that vintage shows and flea markets are really popping up everywhere.
