I have blogged about my crafting with vintage reindeer before.
There are quite a variety of reindeer out there. A few types are easier to find then others, but every once in awhile I run across one that is a bit more unusual and it needs to stay with me.
These three are keepers this holiday season. I love the ears on this guy and the cartoon like character that he has. He is made of celluloid.
Also made of celluloid is this cute Bambi like deer.
Last but not least is this little guy. He is much smaller than the other two. He is made of celluloid and has a pipe cleaner attached to his hoof.
They are an oddball reindeer family and will live permanently in the cabinet of curiosities year-round.
Laurie, I love them. I glittered the nose, tail, hooves, and ears on mine. They have such a cartoon feel to them, innocents and cheer. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!

Your little deer are dear! Very unusual (big surprise). Your previous post of snippets was great. Love all your color and collections. Also noticed a great floral on the wall :>)

Those three really do stand out from the herd (and it's a pretty colorful and interesting herd!)
I don't think I've ever seen any like those before, especially the big guy with the bunny ears. No surprise they found their way to you. :-)

Merry Christmas!

You have such a way with the deer, it just amazes me. I love your latest "keepers". I'm pretty sure that big guy's mamma was a bunny!

Too sweet, I never seem to keep the ones that I find. Always seem to sell them but I love finding them. You have a great collection.

Hi Laurie,
I just love the pics of your reindeer herd!! : ) The three
that you are keeping in your
cabinet of curiosities are so
sweet. Any changes to your cabinet
decor other than the deer? I think
that cabinet of yours is so unique.
Hugs,
Janis
