Christmas Collections: Putz Houses and Chritmas Corsages
I was looking through old posts from 2013 and saw one where I wished that this year I would find some putz houses at a yard sale for cheap. Well my wish came true! I finally have my very own putz village!
Aren't they sweet? I haven't found the best way to display them yet. I'm hoping by next year we'll have our wall of build-ins done and i can put out some fake snow and really do it up!
I have so many pink ones! I might buy some vintage repro windows to fix the ones that are broken. Or maybe I'll just leave them. It doesn't bother me that much.
I love Christmas corsages, I could have sworn I did a post about them before, but I guess not. I can never pass them up! I need to find a cool way to display them. I used to put them on a macrame tree thing but I don't have a good place to hang it.
Here they are! SO beautiful. The pine cones! The plastic flowers! The little mercury balls! I love them all. The one with the spun head Santa and the weird neon orange burst is my favorite. Or the pink one with the tiny reindeer.
I have one Christmas bow tie, but I'm on the look out for more! I usually wear it in my hair to work the few days before Christmas. It is so cute!

We had those villages when I was a child in the 1950's and they had red cellophane windows which would be easy to replicate. They also had holes in the back to put a tree light through and the lights would shine through the windows so they orgianlly were menat to "hang" on the tree.

What an amazing find!!!!! I love little houses. As well as those crazy vintage corsages. I have one small tree that I put all of my thrifted and rescued vintage ornaments all of the scary (that's what my kids call them ha ha) santas, elves and snowmen. Have fun and happy collecting :)
