We just love the graphics on old Christmas ornament boxes, particularly those by Shiny Brite. The photo to the right comes to us courtesy of takeabreak, all rights reserved.
That's followed by an incredible find from our old movie star magazine collection, a 1952 publicity (and no worries, tasteful) still for a very young Marilyn Monroe! So very beautiful and talented.
These paper trees are very interesting--AND look easy to make just from looking at the photo. Just enough retro whimsy for a 50's - 60's Christmas display; and a good way to use up scraps--imagine this small enough for a putz village in the line of Howard's TEN CENT CITY; to see the trees, click here

We picked up a few reproductions from the 70's (banks) that had "action", like an elephant tossing a coin with his trunk into a saddlebag. They're a lot of fun and less maintenance, not to mention less expensive, than the originals. That I want and can't afford!!!!
