A Little Bit of Christmas

Vintage Christmas has been hard to come by so far, surely it will pick up now that December is here.  I have a few things to share, a pretty small haul, that's for sure!! But, I'm happy with what I found!!

I have to organize all my shiny brites this week, there are just too many bags and boxes of them and now I have more to add to the mix.

This is the first Santa mug I've found this year, he's in sort of rough shape, but still cute and he was priced at only 50 cents.

This little gal has a flocked type of dress and glass pieces down each side of her dress, I bought a bag of junk to get her, there was only one other half decent item in the bag, the rest will be donated back.

I think this little angel is sweet - she came in another bag of junk that I found earlier in the week.  

I guess that bag wasn't so junky after all, as these little miniatures were in it too.  There's no markings of any kind on any of these items.

My kids had something like this Santa, I think it was an animal of some sort, you squeeze him, his hands will open and you can hook him on somewhere.  He has a great old Santa face!!

These flocked bows were in one of the bags too.  They are stiff, have hangers on them and a couple of small pin holes, so there must have been something else on them.  

These little paper garlands are pretty cute - two were still in the package - I'm not sure what I'll do with them, I know some will go in my Christmas Smash book.

Four of these song books were in a bag, the book has Christmas songs and others, some of which are very strange songs to be included in a Christmas book.  There's all kinds of local advertisements in it too.

I don't think these books were ever used so two more to add to my Christmas book collection.  The Grinch book retailed for $20 when this was sold, I saw one yesterday and it was more than that, I paid 50 cents!!

My finds were small but at least I came home with something - I shouldn't complain!!  Now, I soon need to get some of this Christmas out on display!!

I'm linking up with Thriftasaurus and Thrifter Share

Tree #1

This is one of my small trees, it's mostly all ornaments that belonged to my Mom and my Grandmother  - more trees to come...  Clicking on the picture will get you a closer view.  Check out the link up party at Thrifty Things Friday and Countdown to Kitschmas

I found the angel last year at a thrift

The feather type ornament must be quite old, not seen many like that around....

I always loved these honeycomb snowmen and there are bells too.

We never had the elves at home, these are ones that I thrifted.

The candycane is very plush!

Dad used to make the walnut people.

We always had the Putz houses on the tree, who knew that they were called that..

Another plush - the wreath

The teardrop ornnament belonged to my mother-in-law 

This is not on the tree - another ornament that belonged to my mother in law - this looks really old.....
