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

Well, you've no doubt dragged out the boxes of vintage Christmas: the houses;  the ornaments; the lights...It's a little like seeing old friends again...

Which reminded your editor of this outstanding blast from vintage putz house past: the amazing Christmas village of J. St. Pierre.  Click on the photo.

Your editor spent a half hour trying to get the pre-lit artificial tree lights to work again; this was NOT fun--as it turned out, a strand of dead LED lights was the culprit, rendering the rest of the tree dark...problem solved! But not without quite a bit of colorful language along the way...stay tuned...
