MORE EVERYTHING CROTON'S FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC.

--We love finding vintage scrapbooks at tag sales--this one belonged to a little girl who lived in Newark, is dated 1961, and somehow ended up in Westchester! We've been meaning to scan it for a long time but for now--the cover--the wonderful Wizard of Oz! Click on the photo.

--If done a bit more “elegantly”, that is using nicer papers perhaps--these could make a nice addition to a Christmas village http://warmhotchocolate.com/2011/12/12/fringed-paper-tree-village/

--Though not cardboard, a very elegant little village http://dwellings-theheartofyourhome.blogspot.com/2011/12/vintage-christmas.html

--A page full of vintage Christmas decorations but it was the chalkware Santa that really caught our eye http://vintagegoodness.blogspot.com/2010/11/vintage-christmas-goodness-on-ebay.html


--The coolest diner! We see “lakie”/faux tinplate possibilities here! "Today we have a nice diner from Banning Enterprises, Ltd.  It's a container that the is marketed as a notions box (a box to store sewing stuff and miscellany) and is a hybrid tin & plastic construct." Read more here:
