I had a good run of finding some Christmas things Wednesday. It's a little hard to look at Christmas out of season, but they're such happy little things I didn't think you'd mind. This is a cardboard candy container with his head on a spring.
Pixies. Like new. Orange with polka dots. I don't think any more needs to be said.
I was attracted to this Santa because he has a spun-cotton head almost as big as a ping-pong ball. Even if his nose is smashed. That must have hurt.
I liked his price tag, too.
He was easy to fix. It's good to have a healthy supply of replacement noses and beards in case of emergency.
It feels wrong to love something that's plastic and pink, but I can't help myself. I love these.
When I first started collecting ornaments in 2001, one of the first ones I bought at a big flea market was a pink tear drop one like those bells. (Now I do wonder why though? It is NOTHING like the other 9,000 ornaments in my collection. Ha.)

These Christmas treasures would have all come home with me as well. Good surgery on Santa - he looks as good as new! Digging the sugary bells!

Love those original price tags- and pink and plastic- that's a HAPPY combination.

what is the value on the spun cotton creatures? A local store has a bunch of spun cotton halloween cupcake pics, I was thinking of getting them but was not sure what a fair price was...
