I'll huff and I'll puff and I will blow up these holiday figures!
Crazy collection today. Not a large number, but kitschy and silly. Vintage holiday inflatable figures.
I have collected these for a couple of years.
Ho, ho.
Ho, ho!
How can you not smile at silly blow up Santas?
Now add a pair of reindeer into the mix.
I love how they look together.
If you have an idea for a future collection challenge leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of ____." Some of these collections are just meant to bring a holiday smile...and I think we all need one lately.
They are delightfully fabulous . Love the darling yellow reindeer.

These are so much fun! As a youngster we would go into the city, San Francisco and I would bring one home...they did not last long, they always seemed to burst...too much rough playing??and this was one thing my mom did not save!

Laurie this is one of your collections that just make me SMILE!
Really fun and easy to store when deflated!

Linda is right. These just make a person smile. I think the world can use something to smile about. Thanks.

I have never seen these and didn't even know that they existed! So cute. How do you plan on displaying them?
Merry Christmas!

Awwww.....thanks for making my morning with these cute blow ups!
I have a couple of them and a reindeer somewhere that won't stay inflated. They do nothing but bring a smile to your face :-)
Schools are closed here today from snow!!
Beautiful outside!
How about in your neck of the woods?

Much better than those big outdoor inflatables I see now! What I really remember about these were the seams, which seemed so heavy and obvious ... no idea why that's what I remember!

We do need something to smile about lately....these brought a big one! Thanks.

What a cute group. They all look brand new and each one is different. Great collection Tuesday.

Is there no end to this collection challenge madness? :-) (I hope not!) This little collection is especially charming for some reason and I can safely say I've never seen an inflatable reindeer anywhere but here.

Wow! I've never seen anything like those before! What a cute collection!
