Running with Vintage Thingies!

I am linking up with the Colorado Lady for Vintage Thingie Thursday today!  





I wanted to share some Fabulously Vintage Christmas ornaments.  These ornaments are over 40 years old - I think that qualifies as vintage.  My parents bought them for my sister and I when we were very young.  My parents still put them on their tree every year.  Actually, my parent's tree is more ornaments than tree!  My dad decorates it and he leaves nothing behind!  

This always reminded me of a delicious upside-down ice cream cone! It was always my favorite when I was little!
She's lost some buttons through the years!
 
These were bought at Liberty House/Rhodes way back in the early 70s.  If you grew up near the Central Valley in California, then you may remember this department store. It's been out of business for about 25 years. They had a beauty salon in the store and they sold everything, even books!  I bought my first training bra here!  (I don't even know why I'm mentioning that, but it would probably qualify as "vintage" if I still owned it!) 


Thanks for stopping by on Vintage Thingie Thursday.  Be sure to visit the Colorado Lady and see what other fantastic finds are being shared on this Thursday!
