So how many of you can't bear to pack away your Christmas houses? Your editor understands!
To
the right--more from Matthew Und's amazing annual over the top---we
love it---Christmas displays--this one is from 2016---soooooo many cardboard houses and more,
all artfully arranged! Love these large churches, the oversized
snowflakes and cotton icicle draping! See more of Matthew's assorted HOLIDAY displays here https://www.flickr.com/photos/matthew1und/
Next up, an amazing collection of vintage made in Japan gambrel roof putz houses, courtesy of Pete. Lots of inspiration for the crafters among us.
There are times when your editor REALLY misses the old five and dimes---and Woolworth's in particular--these being Christmas, Easter and...Valentine's Day. Here's this year's 2022 Homage to Valentine's at Woolworth---a collection of vintage, antiqu and vintage-inspired items--see close-ups HERE.
p.s. FINALLY GOT THE OLD SOUVENIR TOY CASH REGISTER TO WORK---never underestimate the power of WD-40 when you have jammed levers! Amazing stuff.
