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

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

First up---an oldie but goodie worth re-visiting--here's a vintage store window set for Christmas 1940, courtesy of LOC, sliced and diced so you can appreciate all the vintage printed goodness. 

That's followed by this year's Homage to Valentine's Day at Woolworth's; the old five and dime stores are sorely missed at Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter and Halloween........

Again, click on the photos and links. 

And another oldie but goodie: Howard Lamey's fabulous interpretation of the vintage made in Japan cardboard "tree house" putz...

And by special request--since the reader needs pink trees for a Valentine's Day birthday party...how to dye bottle brush trees...

Dying them couldn't be easier..using "distress  inks".....find out everything you need to know from PAPERGLITTERGLUE at https://paperglitterglue.com/bottle-brush-trees-craft-party/ 

Check out this simply amazing faux street scene --painted on buildings---and from Indiana http://bit.ly/VwsKCY 

And from another angle here 

We have become big fans of a company called VICTORIAN TRADING; they have beautiful--and often well priced things--that invoke a simpler time and are very thoughtfully chosen...check out their seasonal offerings here  

While the link to this Valentine's Day project involves some found heart shaped tin molds, you can easily substitute cardboard and glittered hearts instead; check out this rustic charming project at THE HOUSE OF HAWTHORNES 

A friend of ours found all the makings at a craft store for re-creating MR. POTATO HEAD animals when her family visited over the Christmas holIdays---her niece and nephews were entertained for hours!  This reminded us of....MR. POTATO HEAD AND COMPANY!
