I was trolling one of the local antique malls the other day to see if what holiday goodies I could find.
I was rewarded with this gem.
It is about three feet tall and three feet wide. It is made of cardboard and folds up flat for storage. I think it was probably an old store display. There are a couple of slots on the side where perhaps some signage would go.
The background is a great vintage green and the figures are a soft turquoise and pink. Frosted snowflakes dot the background.
Definitely a vintage holiday frosty love. Ready to add my new found treasure to my holiday displays. I think it would look fun with a bunch of old pink and turquoise Christmas ornaments piled at the base.
An early Christmas present to myself....
Merry Christmas To Me From Me can be the best kind of gifts! Can't wait to see what you do with it...

I love it. Show us a picture after you have incorporated it into your holiday decorations. It is too sweet.

It's the perfect backdrop for your beautiful creations. I'm glad it found its way home with you.

Glad you found an early Christmas present for yourself. In your colors even! I'm going to go out trolling myself here in a bit. Nothing like going out and finding more vintage goodies to add to your collections huh?
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

That is a gem! And I'm sure it's going to be spectacular once it's been Ethel-ized. I haven't done my Christmas shopping for myself just yet but I always do!

That is SO cool and yes, perfect with the pink and turqoise decorations.
Hmm. I have no turqoise decorations. I should do something about that.
