Here is the grungy meets fantastic plastic display. I love rusty wire, old baskets and bears, but would they like some plastic? My grandmother's tree fascinated me. She had these little ornaments with fans in them, spinners they are called. I stared at them for hours, you had to do something with that sugar cookie high! Her lights were big and chunky, and the heat generated by them made the fans whir, and they glittered hypnotically in the light. You can buy back your whole childhood on eBay. So here it is, all the plastic I had, tiny umbrellas, cribs, sleighs, angels, its all on my mini plastic feather trees.
a knitted bunny, so sweet.
The dolly and above her another of the West Germany Snow Angels from the thrift.
The blue tree has spinners and a white plastic sleigh at the base, and white plastic reindeer. See the pink plasic umbrella?
There are a few tiny pink and blue rattles, plastic, and they do rattle. How many times do you have to read the word plastic?? Ok I'm done lol.
Remove from oven and pour your cooled syrup all over your hot baklava. (discard the lemon )

The angel is marked West Germany, and was scored at the local thrift. She has brass wings, stamped out of a sheet of metal. The reflector is one of the really early ones. I added vintage chenille and pushed little wooden green bells on the ends, and a bit of pink german glass glitter in the ends. The fabulous fuschia ribbon was probably made for easter baskets. The base ribbon is actually vintage blanket binding. This one is hubby's favorite, and he won't let me sell it!
This one is my favorite. I drilled an old dice, and glued wires on the back of the plastic pony pieces. I covered the hole in the reflector with a snail of tinsel and added the vintage plastic cameo. So this is "The lady bets on the horses". The reflector back on this one is the same kind as the angel. I had intended to use a gold one, but I got distracted!!
Here is the angel again, on my heavy coat. Oops, the lining isnt ready so no pic of the coat, yet! This shows what it looked like before I added the glitter to the ends of the chenille. What a difference that tiny touch made.
The bearded snowman crafted during last week's first snowfall. Leah and her best friend made do with the old stash of snowman making clothes. His pinecone buttons came from our white pines.
My "new" coat. I bought it for $15 a few years ago at the Third Sunday Market. It dates to the 1910 time period, is crafted of heavy cotton velvet, lined in satin and flannel. Look at the pretty bows around this tiny pocket. I suspect this was a clever way for the wearer to find the pocket in the dark, in an era before electricity! The coat needs a bit of cleaning, and I am going to replace the lining with a new black one. I will have to find a way to close it, since the original toggles are gone. But the buttons that remain are incredible. But fragile. Still, I am going to enjoy it. It weighs a ton! Imagine wearing it in a sleigh, on the train, or in a model T car. It's that old!
The gorgeous hand corded wooden buttons. It must have taken hours of work just for the buttons! I will miss the powder blue lining, but black will be more practical.
