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...we were just chatting the other day about how many of the board games shown in this 1960's Christmas ad for Milton Bradley were still around....

 

And none of us could remember the Game of the States, Square Mile or Racko at all. But we did recall The Game of Life, Go To The Head of the Class, and Stratego.  No bells. No whistles. And yet somehow we were entertained. 

 

Yes, some of us are already thinking about fall decorating and Halloween too.

 

And so we were reminded of this fabulous tutorial for a chenille Pumpkin man from 32 Degrees North--it's really one of the best we have ever seen; click here for the instructions and everything you need.

 

And finally---the Bertoia Summer Basics Auction is August 12th; there are some amazing trains--LOTS OF EARLY IVES TRAINS---tinplate, toys and much more--including this wonderful Chein wind-up ski lift.  

 

Wouldn't this be perfect in a putz scene under the tree! SEE MORE FROM THE AUCTION INCLUDING A DOWNLOADABLE CATALOG---BY CLICKING HERE.
