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

With Easter arriving so early this year, it's hard for some to get motivated in the decorating department... but we promise you--once you drag out the box from storage and open it, you'll have no regrets.

  1. Beautiful scene. I have some spun cotton ornaments and glass eggs from the 40's but no tree to hand them from :(

    1. Find a tree branch and spray it white or some pastel color--or use pussy willow branches in a vase(they were in Shoprite last week and may still be) to hang your ornaments from.
