Vintage Christmas by the square foot

You may recall that last year’s hunt for vintage Christmas turned up little finds like these,

this,

and these.

And silly me, I assumed this year’s finds might be more of the same.

Imagine my surprise when 'they' turned out to be this.

He's six feet tall and made from printed paper applied to plywood pieces -- I was told he once was a holiday street decoration in Los Angeles.  Found at a local yard sale.

Hope you're having a wonderful, long weekend!
