MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

--We're having so much fun going through all the vintage magazines we've picked up here and there--especially the ones from the 1940's--this ad to the right is from 1945 for "Night in Paradise" starring Merle Oberon and Turhan Bey--click on the photo. Turhan Bey was one of our favorite actors; you can read more about him here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turhan_Bey 

--A most remarkable putz house restoration by Howard Lamey; click on the link --it's a "hotel" restoration done with great care http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=338

--At Blumchen, white paper mache rabbits have just "hopped in" from Germany; these are gorgeous and are made in the tradition of the vintage ones you remember as a child--or find for a small fortune on EBAY: http://www.blumchen.com/easter_shop_rabbits_bunnies.html

--For the reader looking for really tiny plastic snowflakes, these are buttons and may work http://factorydirectcraft.com/catalog/products/2149_2043_2150-18861-itty_bitty_teeny_snowflake_buttons.html

--A collection of Christmas textiles, some very recent, but others vintage from the 50's, 60's, and 70's especially the Christmas handkerchiefs --and some of the Christmas stockings  http://www.flickr.com/photos/17041736@N07/sets/72157632945736654/with/8542836465/
