Santa's and Snowmen and More

After what I found yesterday, I don't think I should be feeling envious of all the goodies some of you find out there.  I hit the mother load ....  I want to share it all at Rednesday, Vintage Thingie Thursday and Junkin Joe


I didn't have not one Santa mug until last week when I found three, now I have one more..


Made in Japan Santa - it has the familiar wreath stamp but I can't make out the  marking inside of it.  


I turned on the switch, Santa took off across the table, he walks, he rings his bell, his lantern lights up and he plays a bunch of Christmas carols.  It kind of takes you by surprise when you turn him on, he takes right off and the music is loud...


This came in the original box, it was made in Hong Kong.  Another woman was watching me test it out, she probably would have grabbed it if I had put it down.  This one plays a slow version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town


This might be the only Christmas item I've found at Value Village this year -  another blow mold...


This tree topper looks old to me-part of her wand is broken off


Aren't these pretty?  I bought quite a few things at the SA for only $6


I've been wanting some Christmas dishes but I didn't want to buy  new, seems like sort of  a waste, when you don't use them that much - I was scared the bottom was going to fall out of the box when I was carrying it out and that would have been a real shame!!  There are 8 dinner plates, 8 side plates, 8 soup bowls, 1 serving bowl and a sugar bowl - $5.00 paid!


Yay - I won a blog draw - a pair of home made Christmas ball earrings from Happy Holiday Girl - I have never won anything on one of these draws before...



And, for something fun, here's a new song I heard this morning on the XM Radio Holly Channel - click here - it's Rock 'n Roll Santa and he's rockin'
