I Have a Reputation

NO not that kind of reputation!  A reputation for loving all vintage Christmas stuff.  It is the best kind of reputation to have as people call me and ask if I would be interested in something.  I am almost always interested.  Or I come home from errands and find goodies on my back step.  How can that not make one happy?

Last week I got a call asking if I wanted to go through an Aunt's Christmas decorations that had been stored in the attic for awhile.  Wasn't the treasure trove I hoped for, but I got a few things.

Love the little porcelain head.  Her body has disintegrated, but I know that I can give her some sort of new life.

Today I got a phone call asking if I wanted some old Christmas ornaments that once belonged to a mother-in-law.  Bingo!  Some came without the tops, but I have extras I can put on if need be.

Lots of figural ones.  These are my favorites.

I love the little gold teapot with the handle at the top of the photo. I also really like the old light bulb shaped like a Chinese lantern with the tassel on the bottom...how cool is that?

Not a bad reputation to have....

I love that lantern, too. (Good thing you & me & Suzy don't all live in the same neighborhood. I like all of Suzy's stuff, too.) I'm always amazed that the handles on those teapot ornaments survive - they must be a lot tougher than they look!

Old Christmas decorations are somehow much better than new ones! I love the teapot. :)
