I know Blogland is absolutely full of Christmas photos right now. And, people might be getting tired of them. But, I'm still enjoying visiting the different blogs and seeing all the vintage goodies that are out there. It gives me an opportunity to make a "Look for that next year while I am out saling and thrifting" list. I certainly am a greedy gal when it comes to Vintage Christmas. I want, I want, I want. Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee.
I have a lot of Santa's, and this year I culled out a lot of them. I have a definite style and taste now so I only want those sort of items in my midst. The ones I no longer want were donated to the thrift immediately before I changed my mind. Here are three Santa's that will never, ever be donated. Ever.
This old rubber faced Santa is huge. Really, too big for my small house, but By George, I make room for him every year and he has a special place in the garage for storage so he WILL remain mine forever.
He stands nearly four feet tall. I found him in my favorite yardsaling town where all the houses are houses are tiny, crammed full of vintage goodies and the people selling their items have no idea what they actually have strewn out on the lawn. I spotted the big Santa thrown out on a tarp and ran to rescue him. He was only $2.00 for all that vintage Santa-ness! A keeper, for sure!
The last Santa picture you posted is so cute! I love your Santa collection.
ReplyDeleteKids art is The Best!! I have a picture that my nephew drew when he was little. It is of a Chicago Bulls player - he labelled it 'BULLS'... his 'u' looks like an 'a' - we still have a good laugh about it!
