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

As always, some new finds, special requests, oldies but goodies and more---click on the photos and link.

First up--and without a doubt-- one of the most charming pre-World War I Valentine postcards we have ever seen. In the immortal words of Elsie, Penny etal--love it! She's followed by an ad for the 1938 RADIUM---YES RADIUM!--SPINTHARISCOPE! (Read all about these devices here.)

There's also a page from a 1918 electrical catalog featuring decorative Mazda Christmas figural bulbs (how many of these are in your collection!?)

And finally, a page from the press release for an upcoming auction at Bertoia: Bertoia Auctions to sell magnificent Aaron and Abby Schroeder antique bank and toy collection: Part I of live gallery series slated for March 5-6.  There are some outstanding examples here---trigger alert---some of these items reflect the times they were made in.  If you're easily offended, don't look at the catalog here.

Found a really interesting ETSY shop called THE LOVELY FACTORY--fabulous and unusual WASHI tapes---balloons---straws---so much crafting inspiration...be forewarned. You are going to spend quite a bit of time looking....

Factory Direct Crafts has changed their website--it's much easier to get around--and has lots of neat things--CLICK HERE
