And another bowl, and some MORE ornaments:
The most wonderful roll of vintage wrapping paper. It HAS to be vintage - I mean, who makes wrap this cute and colorful these days??
Rainbow Shiny Brites, handmade felt ornaments, Fire King plates, litle striped ornaments, and my beloved little fan-spinning Twinklers!! Probably my VERY favorite vintage ornaments in the entire world! And I found them at the Waste Management store! That means somebody threw them away. That's just crazy, folks!
Vintage Christmas tins. I love these for giving (or storing) my Christmas morning coffee cakes, cookies and fudge:
Jolly Holly pretty snow-frosted teardrop ornaments:
This vintage light-up Santa may have crazy eyes and be missing some paint and his little tree that he holds - but I love him just the same; I was thrilled to find him:
A lovely hand-embroidered apron:
Nice little boxed Hallmark "Beverage Ensemble":
A Sunset Christmas magazine, little angels, snowman votive holder, and a vintage Santa that used to be a bell - now he's just plain cute:
I have more to show you, but I thought this was enough for today!

I love the wrapping paper, it is just too cute! And for someone to throw away a twinkler, what were they thinking? They are part of GoldCountryGirl Christmas history for Pete's sake! Bless you for loving the crazy-eyed Santa, you were probably his last resort. Great collection here, I could just about decorate my entire house with your post. Love T
Oh, thrifting at Christmas - it is the most wonderful time of the year! I am stunned anyone would throw away a twinkler!
I would love to see your home. It must be huge. You are a collector par excellence. I love those glass ornaments in the box. They are beautiful. I also love the old ornaments displayed in silver bowls.
Very nice.
It's hard to believe that someone would just throw these things away at the DUMP. What a shame. I'm glad there's a store for these things.
Farmlady - my home isn't huge - and I have WAY too much stuff! There is no way I could ever display all of my collections. I do my best, but it's actually beginning to overwhelm me a bit. Unfortunately, I seem to be physically and mentally unable to resist beautiful vintage things!
(sighhhhhh.....)
Heidi, I have a cardboard bowl from Hallmark that matches your drink set! How fun to see the other parts of the range.
I love that apron. I may have to make one for myself.
I don't know if anyone is interested, but a couple of the tins, the Hallmark set, the apron, and a few other things are for sale. E-mail me, if you would like to know more.
And thank you, everyone, for your nice comments!
