Yes, yes, we're all thinking of Halloween and Christmas but this vintage die-cut 11 inch minty Rafael Tuck Easter stand-up just HAD to be shared! Click on the photo.

Now here's a project courtesy of Paul Race and Howard Lamey: Halloween Storefronts; click on the link http://bigindoortrains.com/primer/buildings/lackie/halloween_stores/halloween_storefronts.htm

Just had to share this very unique antique Christmas card below; outside and inside, click on the scans--die-cut, minty, and extraordinary embossing.

We were just thrilled to find this DBF tin/bank in a tag sale yesterday--and while it is not in the kind of condition as the one shown on Toys & Stuff, it was still worth saving--photos will go up soon--but for now, check out the minty one here http://toyconnect.blogspot.com/2010/10/dbf-cottage-bank-biscuit-tin.html
