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

Here's you know who's 2013 formal living room "French" tinsel tree, festooned with hand-made ornaments featuring French ladies and lots of Marie Antoinette--the blue castle is a copy of an early putz from the 1930's--the colors were changed to blue and antique gold/brown--created by putz artisan Karl Fey. The large cathedral comes with its own LED light source, many many stained glass windows, and was created by Howard Lamey of littleglitterhouses.com.  All the "Frenchified" figures are vintage made in Japan. Click on the photo. The silver tinsel tree was found on clearance from Gump's, stands three feet tall, and is slowly tarnishing to a great patina.
