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

Some great finds. As always, click on the photos and links.

We just love vintage department store photos--and so when the request came in for the one "with the hobby horse", we just had to share it again.  Here's a shot from 1942 with the quintessential Flexible Flyer Sled--but what really caught our eye was the price tag for the fabulous hobby horse--just shy of a hundred dollars!

Quite a sum back in 1942! Check out all the details on the horse in the photo that follows.

Next up, a shot again by special request of Lynn's white Dolly Church putz repro--the pattern is online on http://bit.ly/1YkwX6G in case you missed it back in the day. 

And of course we love vintage Christmas textiles, especially those 1950's, 1960's "aprons"...here's a beauty from Angela....again, click on the photos and enjoy.

One more time: Got any of those Lionel, Flyer or Marx billboards that need replacement, or you're just tired of looking at the same ones?

VINTAGE JAYLINE TINPLATE BUILDING, SUBURBAN STATION, always worth another look; so much putzability http://bit.ly/1N0AnL2

If you're a fan of vintage beaded Czech ornaments and icicles--but the prices for the originals have you saying ouch--then check out 32 Degrees North.

These are repros--and a little pricey--but very nice--and still less than originals in mint condition. CLICK HERE.

And in case you missed it, check out Howard's latest "flattie" project, Santa and the Elves, here

And check out these miniature acrylic cloches---perfect for putz house scenes--or to hold those tiny vintage Christmas pieces you don't want to lose behind the sofa(!), but still want to display every year...from FACTORY DIRECT CRAFT
