MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ET.C FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

Some outstanding finds today--as always, click on the photos and links.

First up, by special request, an oldie but goodie, an outstanding and rare survivor: Die-cut Christmas Greeting Tree Reflectors by Doubl-Glo, Made in the USA in the 1950's. Box shows that these were used on C6 lights. Made of cardboard with a foil like topping. About 3.5" wide. PHOTO COURTESY OF SCOTTG, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. They're followed by a wonderful vintage New York City Christmas photo circa 1910-1915, a street scene depicting a Volunteers of America Santa Claus.

And finally, the 1929 Christmas Tree of H.E. French, courtesy of the L.O.C., with quite a "putz" scene below it, and sliced for close-up viewing. Again, click on the photos and enjoy.

Same principle as vintage Christmas bubble lights--VINTAGE BUBBLER ADVERTISING--outstanding collection; click on the link and keep scrolling down the page once you get there. Courtesy of the forums at OLD CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS DOT COM http://bit.ly/2gXk6Y0

For the reader looking for a hanging glass ball she can put a tiny putz village in--with a wide enough opening--a hanging glass terrarium may do the trick; you'll find them at Sav-on Crafts here

A few of us have been playing with creating textures on the cardboard we use for putz houses, tags, and “landscape” platforms for our putz houses—and getting very inspired. Here’s one using plastic wrap – a very quick video; there's usually an ad first; click here
