MORE FABULOUS WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

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

First up, another beautiful cabinet card from the lates Suzee Q's collection; pre 1920's--hand-tinted, most likely French.

It's followed by a wonderful toy ship featured in a previous auction at SeriousToyz, gone a few years now.

"Bath Tub Fleet (Badewannen-Flotte)" Plastic W/U Ferry Boat #904-909, 1950s, Lehmann, W. Germany, 7.25", tin litho smokestack, lots of detail, runs forever on single wind-up.

And that's followed by an oldie but goodie: A scene from Linda's 2014 Chrismas tree village--that year's theme was "Santa Claus"--and as you can see, he's everywhere! The buildings are ceramic and from the Dept. 56 North Pole collection. Outstanding! 


Check out this nifty 1950's Lido fire engine; the lines have putzabilities; GO TO  Toys and Stuff: Lido No. 11 Fire Engine

AND WOW, 1992, HERSHEY'S DINER! GO TO Toys and Stuff: TRAIN TIME: K-Line #K-40812 Hershey's Diner (1992)

We found ourselves drawn once again to this cardboard house---a Victorian mansion---from the late Tom Hull's 2011 village; he is much missed--the photos live on; click here
 
Now here's something different: 

A site called FANCY FLOURS. 

It's primarily for bakers, but the cupcake picks and cake toppers--and other decoratives--are inspirational and have lots of putzabilities...SOME INTERESTING MOLDS TOO; click here.
