Plucky Prizes and Other Vintage Christmas

Hi Everyone!  Hanna here.  Last Friday I made it to Portland for the Plucky Maidens Holiday Junk Fest.  It definitely got me even more excited for the holidays.  I have never made it to the Holiday show, and was happily greeted with more vintage Christmas than I could have ever imagined.  It was pretty sad going to Plucky without Erica, but our plans just didn't work out.

First I will share the few Christmas items I've managed to thrift in the last few weeks.  It's not a lot, but I'm always happy to add to my little Christmas collection.
My Santa mug collection continues to grow.  I also found a sweet little santa tucked away in one of the crazy grab bags at Goodwill.  The elf mug helped me complete a second full set.
This kitschy madness I posted on Instagram last week and I'm still smiling about it.  Who knew that little white deer lived inside a mushroom house and that Santa delivered them gifts!?!  The Gnomes were in pieces at Goodwill but a little glue gun action had them back to normal in no time.  I've been wanting them for a long time, so I was happy to finally get to bring a few home.
 I of course brought home some magical craftiness from Magpie Ethel's booth at Plucky.  This sweet little candy cane elf is one of her awesome creations.  I love that the base is a box.  I can hide a note inside about memories of this Christmas.  The two Santas came from other booths, now I just need some candles for them to climb.
I really practiced restraint at Magpie's.  Probably because I know I will be seeing her again in a few weeks at Crafty Wonderland.  I now have a big deer to add to my herd and a snowman.  When I brought him home I realized he is the only snowman I have, so I better get working on a collection!  I found the Holt Howard pitcher at another booth and was pretty excited to bring him home.  I can't resist a winking Santa face like that!

Well, I'm about to head off to my 20 week ultrasound, woohoo! I'm half way there!  I also finally get to see Erica on Friday, it has been way too long!  I hope everyone has a safe, cozy, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Always a Pleasure!
Hanna

  5. That deer is so sweet! I bought several this year to "sell" in my antique mall booth but vintage deer are growing on me and like many of the things I buy for my booth, I end up keeping!
