A Ceramic Tree and A Santa Blow Mold!!! Lucky Me!!

I've been wanting a ceramic Christmas tree and now I have one!!   My husband was out Christmas shopping, he called me from Value Village - thought it was a ceramic tree sitting on the floor   - I said " buy it."  Mydaughter Carla and I have been remembering  that someone had but we don't know who....  This one doesn't have a very nice base but I think I'll cover it up with some fabric - the base looks like a crude attempt at ceramics but there's nothing wrong with the tree.  It's mismatched lights - they're different sizes and some are shaped like birds - it's missing about five but nobody will see the back of it.

Yesterday I was at the Salvation Army looking through the kitchen items, I looked to the side and look what I saw... a Santa blow mold -  it was $4 - sold!!!  He's SO cute!!!!

I don't think I've ever seen vintage wrapping paper for sale either - 3 sheets for 10 cents - I think I'll put it in a frame.

I found a few linen items too - usually anything I see is too faded or too ugly - these aren't so bad - a large napkin, tea towel and an apron.  I also picked up a neat set of lights that are pretty cute too!

I guess not many people are cleaning out their cupboards this time of the year - there doesn't seem to be much Pyrex to find these days.  I did get this cute little 4 inch carafe that's missing the lid.  These Glasbake mugs took my eye - they're just in perfect condition.

And - just for a laugh - here's something that is not pretty at all - it was still in the box at Value Village - ready to hit the shelf - I wonder if anybody bought it today???

I'm linking up to Flea Market Finds , Vintage Thingie Thursday,Thrift Share Monday and The Penny Worthy Project  - there's just so many wonderful vintage things to see and read about on these blogs - pay them a  visit.
