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

Many of you first became familiar with the Shorpy site thanks to PapaTed--we were reminded today just how amazing it is--and what a wonderful resource too. 

To the right is a dissected section of a 1921 Schar Electric Christmas window that's filled with vintage lights, appliances, a train and a great piece of Lionel tinplate in the far right corner. It's followed by a photo of this year's 2014 Fontanini Nativity, the right side. (You can see the left side here: http://www.familychristmasonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=53)

Click on the photos and enjoy!

An update from THE NATIVITY PROJECT and our friend ItaliaIrish: Three years ago I did the first part of this Nativity Project, but there were many places I wasn't able to get to, so this year I was close to so many of those areas on my travels, so I decided to finish off with a Part 2 to the Project..hope you all enjoy the photo of the Beautiful Nativity scenes that have been out this year in various areas..I'll be posting new photos until the Epiphany.
