For Sue's Rednesday party, I have this to share:
a vintage Rudolph story book that I bought on Monday at an antique store. It's not in great shape (taped spine, ick) but it was el cheapo and it's cute and I can read it to Maren. It's flanked by two vintage flocked red reindeer, both found this year in my thrifting.I'm two days late but I'm going to join Joan's Vintage Christmas Monday for this week anyway. These photos are of some of the vintage Christmas lovelies at my parents' house. It's fun to share an addiction, although I suffer a far more severe case than they have!
I believe this neat Santa candy container came from a garage sale, lovingly stored in its original box:
Another set of St. Nick and his coursers, this one I found at a thrift and gave to my dad:
This snowman ornament belonged to my great-grandpa and my dad found it in his shed. It has a hole in one side (about 1.5" diameter) and was found with red cellophane sticking out of the hole. We can't figure out what it is--does anyone have any ideas? My first thought was a candy container but it seems a bit impractical for that because the hole is so small. We're stumped!
I bought this tree topper from an antique store. Love the graphics and bright red and green!
And some favorite ornaments from the tree:
Sweet! Love those flocked reindeer. xo, suzy
ReplyDeleteThose reindeer look great with the book! Do you think the hole in the snowman is for a light bulb? And, wow, to have two sets of sleighs with boxes - cool!
ReplyDeleteWow , you have some cool vintage Christmas items !
ReplyDeleteMerry Rednesday !

those sleighs are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI've seen those snowmen before with the hole. I think the snowman was originally "holding" a small bottle brush tree that was stuck in the hole. Cute decorations!! :)
ReplyDeleteAll of your things are sooo wonderful! I love all of the boxes and the graphics! I would say that even tho it is impractical your little snowman is a candy container.....your great grandpa's! That is sucha treasure. I think back in those days, the candy ( if they were lucky enough to get sweets) was small and could be shaken out of the back....I love this post!
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage book about Rudolph alongside the red reindeer. It looks great!!
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to you,
