Fabulous Find Friday 7/10/15

Christmas in July Y'all 

Today I am sharing some photos of wonderfully vintage Christmas decorations from my personal collection. Most photos are of items from the 1940s to 1960s era. Nearly every item has been a thrift store treasure. I have noticed a tendency to only keep in my personal collection items I have found on my own. I do not often 'yard sale' or Ebay for my personal collection, I think perhaps it is not as thrilling as finding a sought after treasure among the cast offs. Thrill of the hunt!!

 My affinity for items from the post World War II era until the late 1970s often makes me wonder if I was born in the wrong decade. Were you born in the right era?  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Cake Carrier Find 

 Sharing from my private collection. I purchased this estate sale find with the intent of placing it for sale on Ebay--- One look at it and my husband was smitten. We have many Kromex aluminum canisters in our home and private collection. My personal items with few exceptions are practical and put to use. No dust catchers here. This find was a steal at less than five dollars. Impractical for long term storage, this cake cover would make a statement piece or a short distance travel carrier. This cutie is a Regal Aluminum cake cover/carrier/saver. I love it-- How hard is it to cover cakes after the guests go home-- ? Some are super big and you wrestle the cling wrap and lose a ton of icing to the cling wrap. Not good. I love the protection and style that vintage cake covers offer. Thrift and swank. Love it.
