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

As always, some oldies but goodies, new finds, and more...Click on the photos and links.

First up, from our growing obsession with cabinet cards, an oldie but goodie: A Pair of Gibson Girls.

For those who don't know: The Gibson Girl began appearing in the 1890s and was the personification of the feminine ideal of beauty portrayed by the satirical pen-and-ink illustrations of illustrator Charles Dana Gibson during a 20-year period that spanned the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in the United States.

They're followed by an amazing piece of Made in Japan tinplate featured in a previous auction @ Croton's own SeriousToyz.com - Highway Patrol!

And then by special request--some putz house inspiration---home designs from the 1860's. See more of the 1860's house designs here

And finally a great new and relatively quick project from PaperGlitterGlue---the dogwood wreath!  It's a beauty---see the tutorial here.   Again, click on the photos and links.

We've become big fans of vintage Halloween nut cups--crepe paper or otherwise; this link takes you to oodles of examples, patterns and more, courtesy of PINTEREST; go here.
