Christmastime is Here!

While it's not Christmas in July (nor December, for that matter), it's still Christmastime at my house. Or, at least a little of the Christmas spirit arrived last weekend (forgot to post this with my birthday presents post).

I hit two estate sales last weekend (a weakness of mine; oh, the lure of mid-century goodies!) and picked up a couple things: a cool deco 30-hook tie rack (two bucks!!) and the following:

The gal I bought them from was so cool. Not only had she tested each set and replaced all the burnt-out bulbs, but she split up the third set that was in a decaying box and tossed the working bulbs in these boxes. After hearing that, I was afraid to ask the price. You ready? A buck a box! Less than their original price back in 1958 (based on the copyright on the boxes). Dig the Charlie Brown Christmas trees on the box! Vintage Christmas stuff is also a weakness of mine (along with collecting Christmas music).
