Christmas Gingerbread house finds vintage

Gingerbread house finds

More vintage Christmas loveliness has found it’s way into our house!I don’t need many more vintage decorations but fortunately my excuse is that I’ve been looking for something for my swap partner in a seasonal swap. Luckily I came across a bag of goodies when I was shopping whilst Edward had his first nursery session last week. The bag contained two vintage wise men (do you think my swap partner would notice no. 3 was missing?).

There were some vintage bells (sent off to another swap partner!) and these:

I’m not sure how you would describe them. They are plastic prickly balls and one has the head of a reindeer! I think they are rather fun and I really hope my swap partner will like them.

Linking up with magpie monday

    Love vintage Christmas stuff – am sure you could rustle up the third wise man with some felt and a bead!

    The prickly balls are definitely lots of fun – I seem to remember we had some similar things as tree decorations when I was really tiny!

    I have the 3rd wise man 😛 He is red with a oval shaped neck jewel and a bishop type crown .. the felt needs replacing but he is a treasure .. i know he is part of the set because we had the 2 in your picture when i was a child around 40 years ago 🙂 if you want a pic mail me with your email addy and i will send one .. ( atleast then you will know exactly what you are missing 🙂 .. Regards Mark
