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

As always, some oldies but goodies, special requests, fab finds, etc.  Click on the photos and links.

First up, Christmas decorations from the 1919 Sears catalog--BUT IN COLOR--swoon--gasp--love those prices--and want dozens of each of course! We're also somewhat intrigued by the listing for "Japanese Decorative Fiber Roping"--wonder if it had any relation to the 'coconut' texture they used on putz houses?  The catalog pages are followed by a 1969 ad for the Kodak Instamatic--with flash cubes!  Again, click on the photos and links

And now a wonderful oldie but goodie and so worth looking at again. Tom's "piano houses"; wonderful vintage putz houses--some very unique examples--and some superb restorations too---not to mention a neat tiny vintage train--see it all at http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=766 

Tutorial: Art texture using crumbled wax paper and glue; the music is kind of annoying so you might want to turn the volume down; click here

Tutotial:  Another great art texture and a fab way to re-use cellophane, plastic wrap and bags (your editor loves this and uses it a lot on small furniture pieces, cardboard projects, and more)  There are NO single use plastic bags in a crafter's home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gyi_Iq83Zg
