Vintage Junk in My Trunk: November 2014

The Etsy 90 Project, Listing 323 - 329

Christmas is in the house -- the Putz house(s), that is! Lots and lots of Putz houses!

They all have some issues, but that's what gives them their character. This yellow one is quite large and has a balcony.

I'm selling these individually, but listing them in groups. [The aqua one has SOLD!]

Some greens and a blue.

A trio of reds, all SOLD!

White with a red snowy roof [center with two trees SOLD!]

More white ones, all SOLD! I'm still listing more Putz houses if that's what you're in the market for, but as you can see they go fast!

The lone non-Putz related listing are these Noma Christmas lights from the 1930s.

It's all about the Christmas this week, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! Holiday items have been flying out of my shop; most days my front door looks like this:

A shorter strand of garland, in gold and pink.

Large Putz house, made in Japan.

Crazy glittered Santa on styrofoam pedestal.

Large Santa face blow mold light.

Vintage silver bell, mercury glass bead and reindeer corsage.

I love November! Blustery, chilly, brisk, beautiful, November. Actually, yesterday hit 70° in these East Coast parts, so it's not been that blustery (yet), but the sales in my Etsy shops sure have been brisk!

I have been at the post office nearly every day with four or five packages -- and yes, I do visit the local post office instead of doing everything online. My computer and printer don't play nicely together, it's a convenient stop along my day's path, AND I get to chat with my favorite US postal workers Alice and Joey. So, win-win.

Let's stock those shops back up then! Listed in this week's Etsy 90 Project -- a pink Shiny Brite stencil and mica ornament…

a couple of rubber Santa head ornaments (one has SOLD!)…

and a very large celluloid Santa face light.

I have four sets of these Christmas bell lights, in their original boxes. Once again, I kinda like the box graphics better than the item inside.

This box has seen better days, but the red Holiday Lite Electric Candelabra is none the worse for wear. I have multiples of these as well.

I didn't totally neglect the "regular" shop this week -- here is a set of four Bavarian teacups and their sugar bowl mate…

and some tomato plant juice glasses -- they just happen to be red and green!

The Etsy 90 Project got right back on the Christmas track this week, with a few non-holiday items thrown in as well. First up, a set of NOS Lefton holly leaf candle holders.

And these spun cotton head gnomes.

My teenager was aghast when I informed him I have 5-foot, 6-foot, AND 7-foot vintage aluminum trees. Only the 7-foot gets displayed though; the others are for sale in my Etsy shop. I'm not insane!

The kids were also horrified I was setting up the Christmas tree so early. This is the 5-footer.

The 6-footer is in its original box and paper sleeves, so I didn't want to set it up. {Edited to note -- just SOLD!}

I'm thinking of changing out the pink Shiny Brites on our aluminum tree this year to aqua. I may need to hold on to this mercury glass and glitter tree topper!

Shiny Brites! Sometimes I love the boxes more than the actual ornaments; is that weird? This box has 12 ribbed ornaments, in swirl, acorn, and teardrop shapes.

This box has some grape clusters and glittery mica ornaments.

Celluloid electric angel tree topper.

Back in my regular shop, I listed this white ironstone coffee/tea/chocolate pitcher. Not sure if the lid is original to the piece, but that's how I found them, with the lid taped to the top.
