Holiday Decorations

Christmas Express Train ($125)
HoHoHo ($9.95)
The Christmas Holidays seem to bring out excitement and creativity in just about everyone. Decorations, gift wrap, ornaments on the tree, lights strung across rooftops, nativity scenes on the lawn. Not all of it is high art, but every bit of it is from the heart. The bright colors, fancy garlands and welcoming wreaths support the spirit of giving that comes to fore in the Holidays. When it comes to Holiday Decorations, Vintages tries to add a touch of elegance, a bit of whimsy and new and different ideas to the Holiday decorating box of goodies.

Back in those days I went to Catholic school and the nun's required us to wear shoes ... I mean real shoes ... "oxfords" we called them. Mom bought us Buster Brown shoes 'cause they would last the whole year! The advertising line for Buster Brown was: Hi! I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe.  That's my dog Tige. He lives in there too! The Brown S hoe C ompany has been around for over 130 years. Today they also market Famous Footwear and Naturalizers, and they are a contract manufacturer for other shoe brands.  But they are most well-known for the Buster Brown line of shoes.

The graveyard surrounding the church dates back to the earliest days of ...

Rosaries with beads of crystal, sterling silver, olive wood and molded glass.  We even have a few that have reliquaries included.
