One Friday morning, there was an estate sale, and at the estate sale was a Santa.
There were many boxes of Christmas ornaments, and all of them were pink.
There was a little red wooden shelf, and it was a good spot for two Putz houses and a spun cotton snowman with a crepe paper broom.
There were spun-head ornaments riding in cages of silver and gold.
There was an aluminum Christmas tree in a box, and it looked as if it had never been opened.
There was a pink ceramic sleigh, a drinking glass with red flowers, a chalkware peach and two Swanky Swigs. There also was a length of vintage fabric that was a pink cheater cloth, and it served, briefly, as a tablecloth for a display.
There was someone who was very happy to find all of these things.
The end.
Well, for now. There's more.
Seriously green with envy. Everything is exactly what I would have picked up. Good for YOU!

Great stuff! We haven't seen much Christmas stuff around here yet. Those cotton head ornaments are really cool, I've never seen them before.

How do you find these sales? Oh my. I'm not such a Christmas person, but I do love seeing the vintage stuff you find. But the red shelf..... Oh my, I'm "green" with envy over that.

I love that red shelf!
I'm looking forward to seeing what Oodles Construction Co. does with the Putz houses. I enjoy seeing how you "play" with your finds and bring them to perfection.

Of course there's more! The universe realized you released some of your vintage Christmas stash and it's rewarding you.
With aluminum Christmas trees. I weep.
