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

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

Click on the photos and links.

Since every now and then the blog gets a "troll" or two, no, your editor receives nothing for recommending these shops, craftspeople, blogs, whatever.....and just likes to share.

First up, the new VICTORIAN TRADING catalog arrived in the mail yesterday; this catalog is always a treat---so much eye-canndy---and the sales just can't be beat.

The Easter section is always amazing---ditto for the St. Patrick's Day offerings.  And of course, wonderful romantic things---and beautiful items for your Easter table.  See it at victoriantradingco.com

Next up a very early circa 1920's, 1930's small celluloid Santa and sled. Made in Japan and courtesy of a fellow collector, this is one of the nicest we've seen in a long time. It's followed by a made in Japan celluloid rattle and/or candy container from the same period--and a previous auction at SeriousToyz.

 

And finally a page from an 1897 catalogue of Sunday School supplies--the cardboard Brownies Bridge and yes, this one looks like a project for some of our more creative types!  

 

Meant as a backdrop/stage scenery for a Christmas play, we're envisioning it in talebtop size, to be inhabited by those vintage elves and gnomes who've been bitten by the acting bug. Flattie potential for sure!
 
Your editor has mentioned this site before but it really is worth many repeat visit--A wonderful site for antique bulb collectors---with many unique and rare items, photos, fab info, etc.---check out the  bulbcollector.com/ 

We're just crazy about the old mercury beaded putz houses. These  would be so worth reproducing in some fashion---using plastic, wood or metal beads meant to mimic the old mercury glass.  Click here.
