MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

--Carolyn found this very cool silhouette image from an old Dennison's gala party book--she thought it would make interesting subject matter for a putz house window. We agree. Click on the photo. A free sheet of these windows in assorted sizes for printing will soon be available.

--A collection of wonderful vintage inspired putz house ornaments; click on the link, scroll down the page once you get there http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=303--and here's one close-up, click on the link, scroll down the page http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=300&start=10

--We just love this site; it's called Retro Planet and they have some interesting things available:
A mini pull toy (dog) tin ornament http://www.retroplanet.com/PROD/27260
Very cool printed on canvas Santa Coke ad http://www.retroplanet.com/PROD/37158

--Remember Blue Waltz perfume: http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/store/jump/productDetail/Gifts/Gifts/Valentine&aposs_Day/Blue_Waltz_Perfume_%28Set_of_2_Bottles%29/H2822

--We've talked about Plasticland before and while it is largely trendy clothes for the very young, it does have some awesome kitsch: currently in their Clearance section is a set of owl salt and pepper shakers that would be perfect for a vintage Halloween display, a glass telephone and record player ornament set that's very retro http://www.shopplasticland.com/c/Clearance.html&offset=20&sort=

  2. Blue Waltz was the first perfume I was ever given and the only one I was allowed to wear until my 16th birthday.
