Creating a Vintage Style Christmas and a Linky Party!
December 07, 2013
Welcome to Creating Christmas!

I am starting the party off today with my collection of vintage Christmas figurines!
This grouping is situated on top of my vintage washstand along with an old vanity mirror, a vintage Christmas tea towel, a mismatched snow village, and a couple of ceramic trees, one with a tea light at the rear.
Starting on the left is a Holt Howard Santa on a sleigh, with a Napco Mrs. Santa shaker, and a vintage unmarked deer figurine is in front. This is a "married" grouping. Mrs. Santa is missing the other shaker, the Holt Howard Santa is missing his original large white reindeer, and I'm not sure if the deer was originally part of a set or not. I'm not all matchy-matchy, so this works for me! These figurines are from the 1950's and 1960's.
These adorable little angels are all made by Lefton in the 1950's. These two sets are my favorites. The little deer is also vintage. Maker unknown, but likely made in Japan.
This is the right side of the desk hutch.

You have such a beautiful collection. I love H Holt and Lefton, though I don't have any yet. Always on the lookout though. I think my faves of yours are those 3 deer pictured with the Lefton sleigh. That reminds me of some sleigh planters I have that I haven't gotten out yet! Thanks for hosting this party, I'll have to check back to visit others later.

ReplyDeleteWhat great vintage goodies, Carlene! I LOVE the Holt Howard Santa...that face!...and of course, every home needs a pug!
ReplyDeleteCarlene, I love your collections! The Leftons are just precious. The Santa and reindeer from your childhood is such a treasure and I adore all of the little reindeer! Thanks so much for joining in this party. I'm sure more links will show up soon!

You have an amazing collection! I have Christmas Lefton angels but not sure I am bringing them out this year. Trying to keep it simple this year, but I already really miss them seeing your pretties! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteBeing that we are around the same age, I remember all these things and collect many of them, also. Your sweet trio of deer would be very welcome in my house! I love all your Lefton angels, too. :)

Your little "scenes" are wonderful! I also collect vintage figurines from Napco, Lefton, Holt Howard, etc. and have worked several days trying to figure out how to display them. Ta daaah! Found your blog! Thanks very much, you've given me some great ideas!
