Vintage Ornaments

 

Thanks to my mum, I have a serious problem when it comes to vintage Christmas ornaments.

At one time, I was on a high!

 I couldn't stop looking for them, looking at them, wanting them, needing them. It was kind of bad. Then I gave up..

And when I gave up, they just started coming to me. (Isn't that how it always works).

 I went to an Estate Sale, and found these beauties. Two of them; the first one and third one, are from the early 1900's, the woman said. They definitely look it.

The Santa is by far my favorite ornament. I put a little topper on him, and he looks great hanging on my Christmas Tree.

I only wanted one box, which was $3, but the woman gave me three boxes all for $3! The first box had the really nice ones in it, but I took them all, you can never have too many ornaments!

Remember the other day when I said I bought that single industrial cabinet? Well inside were these cards..

I was so happy to get these two boxes of cards; one box is canary color with a little green and blue cards thrown in, the other box is all white.

I wanted to start a little booth at an Antique Store, and I thought these would be perfect when pricing things.

And if all fails, I will stamp them, and use them as gift tags!

 



Industrial Cabinet

I bought this industrial single cabinet at an Estate Sale for only $2

The Estate Sale had some really-y-y-y nice pieces, but I didn't have enough $$$ on me.

Whoever passed away had fairly nice taste when it came to antiques, and vintage pieces.

When I looked up information on this industrial cabinet, I found out it was a Paper and Twine Company called Garrett Buchanan Co. in Philadelphia, PA. Apparently the business caught fire, so they moved the company to Reading, PA.

I figured the person that passed away might have worked there or something because they had a lot of old file cabinets, and some really nice industrial office pieces.

I found this photo while looking up the history on it.
