BLUMCHEN has re-printed their tinsel rosette ornament instructions for those of us who don't own those original Victorian pieces!  This time we’ll save the file for sure--lots of fun and easy! http://www.blumchen.com/hh_craft_2010c_tinsel_rosettes.html 

Check out this book – CHRISTMAS WISHES, A CATALOG OF VINTAGE HOLIDAY TREATS AND TREASURES; KEEP SCROLLING DOWN THE PAGE ONCE YOU CLICK ON THE LINK; we’ve even spotted a putz under the tree circa 1971, on “page 4” http://books.google.com/books?id=7AI-yevpNyEC&printsec=frontcover&dq=christmas+catalog&hl=en&sa=X&ei=DOfHUMzDNbGQ0QHqsoCQBg&ved=0CD8Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=christmas%20catalog&f=false

  1. Remember the Christmas stickers that came in little books by Dennison? The nuns at my school used to use them on test papers. If you got an A and above, you got a sticker.

  2. It's funny how some things stay with you. The taste of lick and stick stickers and envelopes is one of them.
