Reindeer, Snowmen, and Silver Bells

There's been no junking here for two weeks. Sigh. Winter is so depressing.

A neighborhood indoor porch sale looked promising. I was very excited to find these vintage plastic reindeer lawn decorations.

Santa in his sleigh is missing, as well as whatever roping went through the holes in the stakes, and some of the deer have broken antlers, but I still think they're pretty cool!

As is this celluloid snowman piece. He is hollow on the inside, and was originally part of a revolving music box.

Only I think he looks more fetching as a light cover.

Next stop was a church's small thrift shop's monthly sale. I just missed a box of striped Shiny Brites, but at least I managed to snag these.

My final stop was a local antique store. I really much prefer doing my treasure hunting at yard sales, but I had a specific purchase in mind. My mother somehow did this to her pink Pyrex Cinderella Gooseberry mixing bowl…

…and I wanted to replace it for Christmas. I got lucky and found the exact same bowl here in Pyrex heaven, and at 25% off!

There were also boxes and boxes of Shiny Brite teardrop ornaments, in many colors.

Mr. VJIMT got me a couple of boxes of the pink for Christmas!

I also found this sweet garland of silver bells for $3. I may have to rethink my antique store moratorium!

You did well for this time of year. I love elegant reindeer and yours are just right.
The snowman does look good with light inside. I always look through the malls because there are usually one or two dealers who don't try to gouge you with their prices. Fun finds! Have a great New Year!
