We spent more time inside that house on Saturday than we had originally planned on, so I had no fantasies that the Vintage Aluminum Christmas Tree from the 1960s would still be at the other sale, since it was well after 10:30 by the time we arrived.
Luna was surprised as well.
Yep, the 4-foot Vintage Aluminum Christmas Tree from the 1960s was still there.
So I bought it. And its original box.
Even though it is dwarfed by the bigger one I found last fall. Stella seems to like it.
This would have made a nice Christmas card if my son's bare foot wasn't in the background.
You know what else was still there?
This.
They are selling for upwards of $150 on ebay. I thought about keeping it for about two seconds, but I kind of like my aluminum tree silver and sparkly. I'm plain that way.
Plus I still have the Vintage Rotating Motorized Color Wheel I found last year, so I listed it in my ebay shop.
Because how many Vintage Aluminum Christmas Trees from the 1960s and corresponding Vintage Rotating Motorized Color Wheels can one own?
Don't answer that!
Love your trees and your kitties!

Yay! I am so glad to hear that it was still there. You can't ever have enough aluminum trees as far as I am concerned. I have a 4' one that also came with the original box. It is in my office and decorated with pink vintage Shiny Brites. Last week, I bought another one. It's a smaller tabletop version so I feel that it's a justifiable purchase. Excuses, excuses:-)
Happy Holidays!

Oh, color wheels! I used to love our color wheel. Nothing to compare to a rotating aluminum Christmas tree with that lovely rotating color wheel. Now that was Christmas!

Except for the weeks of pain and that whole root canal thing, I'd say you were having just an amazing season!
