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

As always, some wonderful new finds, oldies but goodies and special requests. 

Click on the photos and links.

First up, for those of you who like to decorate with old fashioned Christmas tree candles, holders and counterbalance devices, Blumchen is the place to be at the moment. 

Go to https://blumchen.com/christmas_shop_candles_lights.html

NEXT UP, a resident has been trying to recall some sort of "preserved flower in a crystal ball' that her mother 'had displayed on the bedroom vanity table".  From the description, your editor believes it may have been a preserved rose. 

These are still being made today but were very popular in the 50's and 60's.  In fact, the local supermarket recently had them in their floral department....but try your local florist first.

For fans of Josef Made in Japan ceramics and such, two small items from the late fifties, early sixties. A little Josef Dolls History:

Josef Originals Birthday Dolls first originated in the mid to late-1940's as Muriel Joseph George designed these creative dolls during the end of World War II. Muriel began designing these dolls to express her love for children, families, animals, and more. Her first designs were produced between 1945 and 1962 in California before moving the manufacture of the dolls to Japan for economic reasons. In 1982, Muriel entered retirement and sold the company to then partner, George Good. See more at https://josefdolls.com/josef-dolls-history/
