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

Some wonderful things to share--first up, this amazing repro of a vintage putz house--the Red Coconut Barn--by JCASS; see the pattern and more photos--two pages--over at the Cardboard Christmas Forums http://bit.ly/2E1D3Jv

It's followed by a close-up of the 2017 "French" putz---castle by Karl Fey (a repro inspired by the original from the 30's) and NOTRE MARIA(!) CATHEDRAL BY HOWRD LAMEY; paper ornaments, handmade, other accessories vintage Limoges or made in Japan; the ship is a new pillbox, the lamppost is new too.

And that's followed by some great p.r. shots from the 1950's magazine collection; James Garner and Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis.

Click on the photos and enjoy.
