Sourcing very vintage Christmas items is becoming harder and harder. But, here are a couple recent finds that are perfect for a vintage Christmas theme.
Okay, the metal lunchbox bottom isn't necessarily a Christmas item, but I turned it into one. I found this at a garage sale a month ago. I picked it up and the gentleman said, "Oh, that's trash." He gave it to me for free (I did have to dump out the rusty nails in it). I clear coated it inside and out to stop the rust and add a floral foam block and various faux pine stems. Some little fairy lights finish this adorable centerpiece. I also found this 1928 Santa Sunkist Lemon crate end. It was very fragile and crackled. I did put a clear coat over the top of it.
It amazes me that something like this that is 97 years old has survived. Both of these vintage finds will be available at my next pop-up, November 29, 9-4.
