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, a wonderful Christmas gift from a friend: a package of vintage postcards featuring turn of the century women--and among them this one of Camille Clifford, known as the quintessential Gibson Girl.  You can read more about Clifford--and her 18 inch wasp-waist--yes EIGHTEEN INCHES!--by clicking here. She's followed by a  wonderful 1870 architectural illustration---lots of putzing inspiration there!
 
NEXT A REMINDER about Paul's refreshed and updated  HOBBYCUTTERS site........ 
 
And finally a new one from HOWARD'S LAMEY'S TEN CENT CITY--RECREATING THE LITTLE ARDBOARD CHRISTMAS HOUSES OF THE 1950'S; see the how to for the brick printed house at https://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1673&start=220

AND FROM TOYS AND STUFF---TRAIN TIME: Classic Toy Trains Hits The Newstand on The Edge of Town Micro-Layout:  When my little Edge of Town micro-layout made the pages of the March 2021 issue Classic Toy Trains magazine I was - to say the least - thrilled as heck! But the idea for this newsstand came from Brian Eovitch over at the "The Train Cafe: BUY&SELL TRAINS/LAYOUT PICS&VIDS/Lionel Flyer Marx MTH etc" facebook group. He mentioned I should put copies on a newsstand on my layout! Holy cow - why didn't I think of that? LOL .... read and see more at http://toyconnect.blogspot.com/2021/07/train-time-classic-toy-trains-hits.html
