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

A friend who collects all things Beatrix Potter--and Mary Poppins too--was delighted with our framed original print of this 1964 ad for a Mary Poppins Cookbook--and we found the cookbook on EBAY back in December for five dollars! Proof positive that you don't have to spend a lot of money at Christmas to make someone very happy. Click on the photo.

Speaking of Beatrix Potter: An oldie but goodie from Paul Race - THE TAILOR OF GLOUCESTER--MICE LOVERS REJOICE!  http://familychristmasonline.com/stories_other/potter/tailor/tailor.htm

When you have as many trend setting nail salons as Croton has (yes people come from all over--we have the best salons), you get to spot interesting trends in fingernail decorating; one of these involves the use of solvent resistant glitters. I was really intrigued by all this new stuff and wondered if it had applications elsewhere, i.e. crafting.  You be the judge--check out this etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/search?q=solvent%20resistant%20glitter&ship_to=US&ref=auto6

The latest finds from Silvercrow Creations; their ETSY shop is much more fun to navigate than the website https://www.etsy.com/shop/SilverCrow

One of our favorites: Local Croton paper artist Le Papier, has just sent us a link for making paper snowflakes, in a very different fashion than how we were taught as children. The possibilities for elevating this into a true art form will soon become apparent. Click the link for the how to: http://mailblog.aol.com/2010/12/30/snowy-day-theme/?ncid=txtlnkusmblo00000042
