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

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

First up, a wonderful WWI photo---infoprovided by the Bain News Service on the negative:

Photograph shows people packing Christmas gifts for the U.S.S. Jason which sailed from New York on November 14, 1914 carrying about 6 million gifts for the children of Europe who were affected by World War I. 

Which of course reminded us of a certain past Christmas mantle scene featuring a USO DANCE TONIGHT - but WWII - and other vintage items--two buildings by Howard Lamey and a lovely church by Karl Fey.

That's followed by elect scans from the 1959 edition of Christmas Ideas, Better Homes & Gardens; see them here. Courtesy of the very talented Bindlegrim a.k.a. Aaron--check out his awesome creativity at http://bindlegrim.blogspot.com/2012/03/bindlegrim-bagatelle.html

And finally the rarest of the rare---those MADE IN JAPAN MICKEY MOUSE PUTZ HOUSES--even better when you find them with the mouse!  Read and see more from Pete Oehmen at https://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1905
