Christmas Nostalgia

Earlier this month when I set up at the Fancy Flea, a vintage home and garden market in Lakeland, Florida I sold some of my vintage Christmas decorations.
Now I wish I had them back.
Anyhow, onward and upward.
I'd like to show you a few treasures that I will be using to decorate my house.
Most of these are recent finds.  

When I first saw this plastic snowman woman, I passed it up. Don't ask me why.
She is slightly damaged on the back but that really doesn't bother me.
She's lighted.

 

In the upper left hand corner is a Christmas chair cover. One of 4 I bought this morning.
The ornaments in the large jar are old but the jar is new. I bought it with my Christmas money from last year.
The snow dome is very large.



The large snow dome is old but I don't know how old. It was made in Germany.
Love the snowman with the palm tree.
Very Florida.



I love these old, plastic bells.

Look how the electric is attached.



I've never seen a funky Santa like this one.
He is very thin and made of a hard substance. Like shredded milk cartons, or perhaps shredded plastic shopping bags.
Have you ever seen one like this?

Love the little devilish elf.
He's actually green but he looks blue in these pictures.



Oh, how I love these little angel ornaments.
I bought the "Linda" for my neighbor but I may have to rethink that :)

Speaking of angels, how about this little tree topper?

39 cents each. I'll take a dozen, please.  

How about these plastic icicles?



The chair cover. I don't know how old these are, but they are pretty nice.

Fancy Flea April Lakeland Florida

To read a post about the Fancy Flea Spring 2013 click here: Fancy Flea Spring 2013  My friend Paula and I set up this past Saturday at the Fancy Flea, a vintage home and garden market  in the beautiful historic district of  Lakeland, Forida. This popular event is held twice a year. I snapped a few pictures at random and some were taken  early while people were setting up. I will post lots more pictures in a few days.   

This booth is Carol's from the Polka Dot Closet. She wasn't fully set up yet.

This was my space, with Paula's to the left. My big pieces disappeared early.

Paula, frantic during set-up. She wanted everything to be perfect, and it was.

Paula made these adorable burlap flowers for her tent. How cute are they?



I'm glad this tattered chair went to a new home. I've had it for years and finally decided I was never going to do anything with it. Same story with the piece of scrap iron.

I love this chest.

Paula, busy "spinning her magic". Notice there was no shortage of shoppers.

Soooo many people.



I will add more pictures soon in another post.
