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

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

First up, there's a new version of Little Women out---and it's gotten excellent reviews. Life Magazine has produced a special retrospective on the film; we found this one at our local ShopRite Supermarket and it is sure to be a collector's item. This is the 7th version of the 1868 novel by Louisa May Alcott. The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Louis Garrel, Chris Cooper, and Meryl Streep. The film received critical acclaim, and has grossed $191.3 million worldwide. Among its numerous accolades, the film received six nominations at the 92nd Academy Awards.


Next up, by special request, the 2006 Christmas putz village of Judee St. Pierre, sliced and diced.  Again, click on the photos and links.

ANOTHER FAB VIDEO--  It's hard to imagine it today, but street lights weren't common until the mid-1800s. Gas lighting was the first technology to catch on. You can even find modern examples if you look hard enough. THE STORY OF LIGHT #1 GAS LIGHTS; MORE HERE
