A Very Vintage Holiday celebrates the joy and sentimentality associated with all the major holidays on the calendar, from Easter to Halloween to Christmas--and many more. Vintage decorations, customs, history, and lush images offer up great comfort, connection, and continuity in this fast-paced world. Each holiday is opportunity to slow down and connect. There's a mindfulness associated with carving pumpkins, dying Easter eggs, or stringing popcorn and cranberry garlands that helps us to bond with loved ones in ways that both conjure up good memories and enable us to make new ones. Coupled with beautiful photographs, tips on collecting, and secret shopping haunts, A Very Vintage Holiday offers a 360-degree look at all the traditional and joyful ways we celebrate holidays and gives suggestions on how to make family heirlooms, vintage finds, and holiday activities work for today's audience. Each chapter is focused on a different holiday and there is a common thread that runs through them all: the love of beautiful holiday decorations as well as an interest in their history, preservation, and relevance in today's world. Now, more than ever, we need holidays to connect us. A Very Vintage Holiday helps the everyday collector and enthusiast make the most of what they've already collected and build upon it for future generations to enjoy.

Praise for this book

"In his new book Bob Richter delves into "the warmth and nostalgia of a year's worth of beloved holidays," including Halloween, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah....Christmas is well-represented, with Richter's ornament collection (which, he says, can fill about 20 trees) featured prominently in the book's 226 full-color pages. But he also offers creative ideas on how to give one's home decor a festive flair on Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, along with Independence Day, Presidents' Day and other less-heralded celebrations."

-- "Huffington Post"

"Join Bob Richter on a journey through the decades, where holiday traditions never go out of style, and the spirit of the season shines brightly year after year. "A Very Vintage Holiday" is not just a book; it's an invitation to make your holidays a celebration of the past, present, and future.

Are you ready to experience the magic of a very vintage holiday? Dive into this enchanting book and rediscover the joy of celebrating with timeless style and heartwarming traditions."

--Christmas Gals

"Speaking from how his own family's celebrations instilled comfort, connection and continuity in his life, Richter sets out to bring those same sentiments to readers of A Very Vintage Holiday."
