First up---an oldie but goodie worth re-visiting--here's a vintage store window set for Christmas 1940, courtesy of LOC, sliced and diced so you can appreciate all the vintage printed goodness.

That's followed by the 2024 Victorian Castle English Putz--once again the Duke and Duchess are entertaining the Queen for afternoon Christmas week tea---the towns folk have stopped by to pay their respects. Castle by Howard Lamey; vintage figures are made in Japan, circa 1950's; vintage coach cake topper, soldiers by Howard Lamey; vintage fan and styrene Merry Christmas sign, circa 1950's. When lit, the ghost of a knight appears in the castle doorway.

Again, click on the photos and links.
