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

 

First up, a wonderful gift; three balsa wood houses mounted on a tabletop platform, lit by LEDS, battery operated and musical; the church revolves. Remarkably well made for a mass-produced item.  It's followed by a fab 1954 ad for the remake of Magnificent Obsession starring Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman---who died in 2007 (read more about her here---a very good actress!)

Next by special request, a close-up scene from the annual Brooklyn Christmas Putz for 2020; all three houses by Howard Lamey of littleglitterhouses.com
