Vintage Christmas In July

The continuing saga of local on-line auctions.

The above photo was about all I had to go on --

"LARGE ASST OF CHRISTMAS ITEMS".

I gambled, and won the lot for $6. 

I had to haul all of the above and other items I won out of the basement

and drag / pack in my van on a very hot day.

It about did me in.  I had driven several blocks when I saw the 

"door ajar" light on.  No biggie.  I went several more blocks before

I realized a side door was all the way open, which I pulled over and closed.

Chock it up to dehydration brain.  I went quite a bit further before

realizing the opposite side door was also open.

I finally made it home, drank some tea and went to work sorting.

Because the trash comes on Friday and I wanted to get rid of the excess.

 So in the clear light of morning here is what I kept

from the large Christmas assortment.

11 boxes ornaments, not super old --

but definitely sellable.

 This is the best item,

a color wheel for aluminum tree.

 Old nativity.

Love the cow.

Hard plastic snowman and churches,

which are musical.

I will do future posting on some other items I brought home from the auction.
