Vintage Louis Prang Christmas Card


This is one of a series of Louis Prang Christmas cards. 
In 1873, Prang began creating greeting cards for the popular market in England, and began selling the Christmas card in America in 1874. Therefore, he is sometimes called the "father of the American Christmas card." His cards are highly prized!!
I added a gold frame to this one

Vintage Christmas Postcard - Santa with Toys


If you've never had a chance to go to a Christkindlmarkt (Christmas market), you should definitely try to make it some year. We go to the Christmas market in Bethlehem PA and it's so much fun! There's food, crafts, glass blowing demonstrations, a bazillion ornaments for sale, and did I mention food?
This postcard reminds me of the markets I've been to. Some have people in period dress walking around with toys hanging from a wooden display just like this vintage Santa in the postcard!
If you are close to Bethlehem PA here is the link for this year's market:

Vintage Christmas Postcard - Watching for Santa


This one reminds me of me and my cousins on Christmas eve, hanging out of the window at my Grandma's house looking for Santa.

Vintage Can Label - Butterfly Brand Beans


I didn't know that I had this label, it's amazing what happens when you clean! Olney and Floyd sold canned goods in the very early 1900s and the label art is amazing. You've probably seen their pumpkin label, but the bean one is just as pretty.
I enlarged this a bit, the original label is pretty small.
