--We
love finding old Christmas photos and ads--and every now and then we
find one that has the old putz houses we so love so much. Click on the

That's one of the most heavilly flocked trees I have ever seen. My grandmother did it one year. She had the good sense to spray it in the yard. I remember thinking how magical it was. BTW, I found out that candles are being remade today and sold at Vermont Country Store.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not we were just told it's not flocking but cotton handwrapped around the whole tree!
