It seems like Christmas gets earlier every year. We have started decorating the shop already. We  have lots of great vintage and collectible Christmas items. I personally love this darling Santa playing the organ. No sound but great action in a window near a tree.

Vintage cook books

I was going through my recipes yesterday and realized how much I love cook books. One of my favorite cook books was my Great Grandmothers. I would never cook anything from it, it calls for things I have never heard of, but I love all of the handwritten notes she made. I also have one from my Grandmother. In between the pages she has inserted clipped and hand written recipes. I remember her making some of them. When you are in an antique store take the time to browse through the vintage cook books. You will be enchanted.

Smurfs, Vintage & new

Many of remember watching the Smurfs on Saturday morning. The Smurfs originated in Germany in approximately 1936. Currently collectors have the choice of specializing in vintage Smurfs or in adding the Smurfs that are currently being made to their collection. You can also collect many of the toys and accessories that go with the Smurfs. I have shown several toys that go along with Smurf ubcollecting. The camera is a music box, bubble pipe, radio, & smurf figurine.
