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

As always, some wonderful finds, oldies but goodies and more. Click on the photos and links. First up, a beautiful antique photo postcard, circa turn of the century. It's followed by a second request---We loved the vignette in this 1863 Boston and Worcester Rail Road Corporation stock certificate--and thought our putz artisans and model railroad lovers might find it inspirational! And the answer is yes! The "warehouse" might be a candidate for "putzing.

It's followed by a repeat request for the instructions and supplies to make these vintage inspired "Dennison" like crepe paper Halloween hats--CLICK HERE.

And finally, the 1960's Shop King by Marx!  We can't help but feel a little sad that such toys don't necessarily "fly" these days.....Again, click on the photos and enjoy. 

A friend has been making jewelry with a relatively new type of polymer clay out there: PARDO TRANSLUCENT CLAY; you can get some astonishing effects with it; click here to read more and see some images showing what you can achieve with it i.e., faux glass effects

And hey all you train lovers--we've died and gone to heaven.
