Vintage Christmas Card of the Day - Santa Claus with Jingle Bells

Vintage Santa Claus themed Christmas cards are some of my favorites, and I always love adding them to my store.    This jolly Santa has old fashioned, colorful jingle bells and so much vintage charm.  I would date this as 1940's from the design.

Vintage Christmas Card of the Day - 1940's GIRL Die-Cut & Unique

I love this one -- 1940's GIRL Die-Cut & Unique.  It features a pretty die-cut 1940's young woman, with Christmas greetings on the front of card and New Year's inside.   So stylized and WWII vintage!

Vintage Christmas Card of the Day: Wirehair Fox Terrier, 1940's, Flocked

This adorable Whitman card was probably sent to a child long ago in the 1940's.  It is die-cut and flocked, and my personal favorite vintage Christmas card of the day!

I'm enjoying going through a huge crate of vintage Christmas cards here, scanning them and listing them on eBay.  Most are Mid-Century / Eames Era and they are absolutely fabulous!  Just wanted to share a few of my favorites here - the rest are in my store on eBay - please click here.

Retro Craft Freebie - Dachshund Ornament to Cut Out and Make

My favorite things list definitely includes retro craft projects.   They are so much fun, and a great way to recreate your own little artifacts from another time and place.  These craft cut-out pages are Christmas ornaments to cut out and assemble.  For sturdier ornaments, you may want to reinforce them with foam board, mat board, or cardboard.   They look so cute when hung with ribbon from a vintage look Christmas tree!   I'm including two pages from a 1967 children's magazine here for you to print or share with your favorite child or crafter.  Included:  a little red Dachshund dog, an angel, a bird, a snake, a Christmas stocking, and a church.  Have fun!
