Vintage Christmas Monday


This is the last Vintage Christmas Monday that's being sponsored by

I'm not sure how old something has to be before it's considered "vintage"....but....today I want to share these snowflake ornaments that were given to me by a lady I used to work with.  She never decorated at Christ-mas time, so she asked me if I wanted these ornaments.  I've never actually hung them on my tree because they are so small...and I truly didn't want to loose them.  I knew they are Hallmark,  because they are still in the original box, but I didn't know what year.  Upon a bit of research....they were made by Hallmark in 1977 (same year Pappy and I got married....which I thought was neat, too!!!)
Anyway....out of curiosity I checked on e-bay to see if I could locate them....and guess what?  I found 2 sets....both were "buy it now"....and one was NINETY DOLLARS!  Now folks...that's a lot of $$$ to this old lady!!!

Okay...enough chatting...here are the precious little snowflakes!!

 



Christ-mas Blessings to each of you,

  4. What lovely snowflakes! They look almost like jewelry. It's nice that they're still in their box, too - I love it when I find vintage items in the original packaging.
