After a “spring break” so to speak, I am back to the blog. Now that is is July, we are (in my eyes) just around the corner to this year’s holiday season. I have spent the last few months cataloging, organizing, and catching up from last year’s purchases and designs. Now I am busy organizing this year’s purchases, and deciding what this year’s display will entail.
For the next few weeks I will feature some of this year’s acquistions. To start with, a vintage Donald Duck, probably by an Italian maker. This was purchased off of Ebay.
Sorry to have taken some time off from posting, I attended a conference in Orlando a week ago, and it has been a busy time catching up. Here we have the Starship Enterprise, by Hallmark. It is battery-lit, and is displayed on the my “space tree.”
A vintage glass Santa Head, mid 20th century.
“Squeak Skater” by Christorpher Radko. Purchased this year from Stebbins Anderson.
A Vaillancourt Santa, part of their “12 Days of Christmas” set. This one is “Three French Hens.”
An ornament celebrating the 75th anniversary of Radio City Music Hall. Purchased last year when we visited the Christmas show there.
A wine and cheese tray by Seasons of Cannon Falls.
“Angel of the Christmas Toys” by Debbee Thibault. Purchased from Neiman Marcus this year.
A sailboat ornament by Jim Shore. One of a set of two. A gift from Don to Dave for Christmas 2007.
