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

To the right, a re-make/ re-interpretation of one of two classic made in 
Japan putz houses by Howard Lamey of littleglitterhouses.com. You can see them both (and more) at the CardboardChristmas.com forums--just keep scrolling down the page once you get there http://bit.ly/KXNQnO

Classic early Our Gang photo--the original cast http://bit.ly/KXNQnO

Mia found a really interesting site called PaperMart.com The prices are rather good, and there's lot of inspiration and supplies for craftspeople, candy makers etc. For example, we've always wanted to make our own feather trees--using REAL feathers--but you need a special kind called BIOT feathers--and absolutely would have to buy them in bulk--well bulk biots are available there http://www.papermart.com/Colored-Long-Goose-Biot-Feathers/id=47211#47211

As well as a number of other interesting products.

P.S. Here's the youtube video that shows you how to craft your own goose feather trees https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYclN21s5oo

The Markln Village Building kit Jes asked about recently is now in stock http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/mar/mar72785.htm

  1. That's a fantastic video on feather trees. May have to try this myself. Has anyone from our group done it yet?
