Well if you’re like most of us, you’ll be boxing up the Christmas decorations and putz houses for 2013 sometime around “little Christmas”; and perhaps you’re even getting inspired enough to dream of the houses you’ll make this year so…for some inspiration, let’s take a look at the putz house “galleries” that are out there:
--ARCHIVE OF PAPATED’S WEBSITES, the ultimate database for
learning about those vintage/antique putz houses you plan to copy—or acquire on

PUTZ HOUSE “NOVELTIES”; WELL TECHNICALLY THEY’RE NOT PUTZ HOUSES, but these are Made in Japan--some are cardboard (well most) and there is a house—they have their charm; click on the photos below.

Love the twinklelite. Santa and sleigh are celluloid?
ReplyDeleteI have the twinklelite minus the box. Found it in a shop in Jersey visiting my aunt for a dollar. Having just seen it go on fleabay for twenty, I could barely contain myself!
