Ornamental

After you start getting boxes you see how the price and quantities change year by year.

Hangers 2.0

Any of you that have stuck with the blog for a number of years ( Thanks !) know I collect ornament hanger boxes. I had posted a few years back for the holidays but thought I would do another round this year of my collection. I have found four so far bet there are few more out there so I better get hunting.



Just kidding stay tuned for the next couple of days for the ornament box onslaught.

Lego Xmas

1990 and 1991 Lego greeting cards from a friend who lived in Denmark. I used to trade vintage vw toys with him thru the mail, before the internet took over. Funny I had saved them all these years, must have been for todays post.

Random


I wonder why the Prairie's are dogs and the Ground's are hogs?
Either way I guess .5% Strychnine is enough to do any of them in.






Just a few pics of my phone

Space Party




One great vintage space party paper ( almost tissue paper thin)  table covering that I was able to get pics of after impeding destruction due to the rain that started to descend on the weekend junk swap about a month ago.  I was able to place in under a table and then pulled it out for these pics after the rain had stopped. I would have just bought it but those dealers think this stuff is made of gold even though they would have just left it to dissolve in the rain had I not moved it. I like the fact that space boys have 2 astro poodles and space girls have 1 orbit kitty.

Empire Plastic Santa Box


One of those things I should have bought but did not


The Santa was out in front of the booth but the best part was stashed in the back. It was early and I was telling myself keep it small today so at 30 bucks it was tempting but I was heading out after the swap to pick up a dental cabinet ( no extra room in the beetle) so the Santa was passed on. I did manage to get a few OK pics of the amazing box art which I have never seen before.
