New Old Christmas Stuff

This is a catch up post of my newest finds - mostly all Christmas.  

The only new thing here is the little tree, it's plastic and has a square bottom, it apparently belonged on something, what, I don't know....

I bought the Santa on the weekend, Made in Japan is stamped very faintly on the back of his coat. That's an Ikea vase that I bought - just for some shiny brites.

I don't mind to say that I was so jealous of everybody's Santa cups, I had not a one, until yesterday.  The Santa on the right was waiting for me at the Salvation Army, Made in Japan and only 25 cents.  The other two I found at the junkiest thrift in the city, 50 cents each.  I found the rubber Santa there too, he was 10 cents - his nose blinks when you turn him on, is he ever cute!!  I bought the bubble lights on the weekend., I'd sure love to have a whole set, we never had them at home, but I remember my great aunt did and I was always fascinated by them.  There's probably not much chance I'll ever have them either, they are quite expensive.   The old world Santa on the right came from Home Sense, he was made in Sweden, I bought the little glitter house there too. Those are some of Mom's old ornaments in the JAJ snowflake bowl.

This is my first year to have the Tom and Jerry bowl, I bought it on Ebay after Christmas, for cheap and found the two mugs this summer.  My friend, Sharon sent me the little set on the left last year for Christmas,  another new item to display even though I've had it for nearly a year!

This was the first door shelf that Gary made.

I found these ornaments last year but haven't gotten around to doing anything with them, so filled up this jar and put them above the cupboards.

On the weekend, Darcy says, there's a big Salvation Army down the road, well, take me there!!!   This is my second box of Satin Sheen decorations, I have Mom's, they were gold, matter of fact, they are in a previous picture.  

This album came from there too.

Yesterday I made a visit to this little antique shop, the turnover is not very high, so I don't go often, the elderly gentleman is so appreciative of anything you buy - I saw this as soon as I went in the door - Kresge's Lights - haven't seen these in a long time..

This isn't new, I'm including it because the picture turned out so nice.   Some of my pictures are good, others not so good - I'm wishin' and hopin' that Santa brings me a new camera...
