I love the bottle brush trees combined with the Putz houses! And I use the battery tea lightS to light up my houses as well. Last Christmas I placed them on the branches of my tree as ornaments. I have a few small bottle brush wreaths with spun cotton Angels in the center.
My Christmas soul sister !! I knew the Santa was from Woolworth !! They had the best holiday items ...takes me back to my grandmothers house Memphis 1960’s 🎄❤️💚
How cool 😎 we had the paper houses whine I was a kid. All the stuff from Woolworths department store .love seeing all of that. Kind of makes my heart ache to .reminds me of how much I miss my mom and dad. There gon now home with the Lord still miss them .
The miniature fire place reminds me of the card board fireplace you found earlier. Also those socks would look so cute hanging from the faux fireplace.
When I was young my parents gave up the real Christmas tree for a silver aluminum one with a color wheel. I hated it and have always had a real tree for Christmas. But some years ago I got an artificial one to display my vintage ornaments mostly passed down from my grandmother. Now that I’m in my 70s I wanted to make sure they were passed down so each Christmas the grandchildren (all girls) get to pick an ornament or decoration for their tree.
Renee, I truly enjoyed this video. I watched your estate clean out video & you brought a big smile to my face with your honest & purely delightful reactions when you found things you loved. I always enjoy your videos, but these two were pure delights. You're going to do very well & nobody deserves that more 🤗🌹💐
The larger of the glass domes with a brass base, is actually from a 400 days clock (obviously removed) - the clocks were very popular as an item GIs soldiers brought back as souvenirs after WW2. The clocks were made with spinning gimbals and wound up only once a year.
@@beverleymangan1740 Me too. The original clock would have had the same flowers design decorating the brass case and possibly, the clock face too although they tended to be a more generic design. They were also known as anniversary clocks and given as an anniversary gift - you only wind them up once a year.
It's STILL ok to have live candles🕯 on your Christmas tree!🎄 We have that over here in Denmark.🇩🇰 As long as you keep you tree hydrated and you keep an eye on the tree, everything will be fine.🕯🎄🕯🎄🕯🎄🕯🎄🕯🇩🇰
We still have real candles on our Christmas tree. Its so beautiful to "light the tree" on Christmas Eve. Its a German tradition that my mother kept, I kept and now my daughter keeps too.
The little snowman is actually a tree ornament. My parents had them with a black trim as well as the red trim. They were purchased from Montgomery Ward in the late 40’s early 50’s. There were also Santa’s that were red and white. I have the survivors that go on my tree. Great childhood memories.
Hello Renee. That was so great I was was waiting to see everything. You got a lot of beautiful things . I know how excited you were to be in there with your friend doing this and finding the best things in the attic. I’m really glad you got the doll there’s something about it that just calls to you doesn’t it . Congratulations on your new and wonderful vintage beautiful Christmas. Stay safe and well.🎄🎄🎄🎁⛄️⛄️☃️☃️💕💕💕☕️☕️💯💯💯💯💯💯
I’m always amazed how well people take care of vintage items!! Like After all these years they survived which is wonderful, they are waiting for people like you and I to come along to enjoy!!
That's the way it was at one time in Germany there was a room that would hold the Xmas tree nobody was aloud to see the tree till Xmas Eve and the doors opened the tree was in there with the real candle lights on it all light up with real candles that's what I was told I loved that story I allways remember that my background is German my grandpa side .🤔🤗
I would of kept my old toys and the boxes they came in if only I had known.I had kept up with the first Barbie that came out, but I believe it got left up in my sisters attic when she moved some years ago...maybe my Snow Village will be vintage one day!
The plastic snowman is from the early 1950s we had them in red and black trim when I was a child. The vintage Santas are the best. Great finds. Always like your show.
I had that fireplace and use to put it under the tree with Santa in a rocker reading a book that says Christmas story. A stuffed boy and girl doll sitting by the fireplace with a stuffed dog and cat sleeping in baskets. I would wrap up match boxes to look like gifts and put under the tree. I also have a small nativity like the one you showed. I still have the Samta and nativity set.
Great comment about old things and technology today.😊 Funny but I agree. Your eyes are still sparkling from your video before this one. You really had a fun haul. Great stuff. I like all your estate videos. Maybe it's more of a personal thing because you hear about the people owning the estate. Not that you have to give us that info but you can look at the purchased item and picture how it relates to them. Love that little boy doll!
Get a cord like the ones you put in blow molds on the back, or Flameless candles could work to light up the little house That is adorable with Santa's head on the chimney 🎄🎀
My mom and I would get all dressed up to go to town and go Christmas shopping it was the best we had a large Woolworths it had three floors and a dinner. My favorite was the streets had singers and every store was decorated and loved the five and dime and Murphy's and D&K then the malls took over and we lost most of the little shops downtown so sad.
Great haul, I would have taken everything that wasn't part of the house. People will buy the most strange things. Even if they don't know what it is. I love the vintage Christmas. Great stuff.
The red and gold things you said were Xmas wrapping things are cake wraps. You made your Xmas cake, covered the top with icing or frosting in US. Then the cake wrap went around the cake.
My late dad's family had candles on their Christmas trees during the 1920's. Always had to keep an eye on those candles. Used only when the tree was fresh! That circular outlet is Bakelite...the duel receptacle looks like it's made of a hard rubber composition. The circular receptacle is a neat piece...never seen one. I have a collection of old adapters, receptacles and such...made beautifully of white porcelain and polished brass [real brass]! Ditto...that's why I love the old school technology...radios in my collection are 70 years old, and after restoration, work fine. Just got a 1910 Victor Victrola in a stunning quarter oak upright cabinet...works great...what my grandma listened to! Note: I play the period Victor 78's on this...Enrico Caruso sounds as he did in his prime! Can do my daily dozen to Souza's Military Band, or if I had a sad, bad day, to the Victor Orchestra's rendition of the old tearjerker...."Hearts and Flowers"!
Thanks for the confirmation on the outlets. I figure there has to be someone out there that collects them :0) Hope all is well out in California, despite things still being shut down!
@@PaperandMoose As far as the pandemic situation, things are slowly awakening, one Sal. Army store is open on limited hours, as far as I know. Those several wild fires throughout the state are the big issue...firefighters from other states and even Australia are on the lines. These were sparked by a very rare thunder storm we had a week ago...quite a "show"!
Some lovely stuff. I've got some of those glass beads also the little candle holders and candles we never had them lit. I also have the old glass baubles that belonged to my mum
Lovely pieces of vintage Christmas things u had, reminds me so much of when I was a child and still believed😉, great haul vid, thank u and happy hunting. Xxx much love from the UK 🇬🇧
My dollar store had little strings of rice lights with a battery pack. They take double A instead of the tea lights that take watch batteries. That could be cute in the Putz houses! Also if you need a brighter light, old light brites have a bulb that just go straight to a plug. Perfect for blow molds too! I would never be able to sell all that great Christmas stuff, I admire your will power lol !
Love the socks! Man y’all have a treasure trove of sale up there! We do not get such goodies down here. It’s like we are getting sold what is left over after everyone else has finished.
Hi Renee! I also wish I could be time traveler and go back to Woolworth's; I save the ornament toppers - you may be surprised how many ornaments with broken necks that I have been able to save from the trash!
People, took care of their item's they couldn't run out and buy new Christmas ornaments, my mom gave me the glass ornaments, from Shiny Bright, I don't use them on my tree, but put them in a Santa sleigh. I love vintage Christmas, I used to get items for cheap just a couple of year's ago now to get vintage Christmas, these days at Thrift stores, are charging an arm and a leg, for stuff now and I don't sell it I just collect it for me...
Oh the memories of long ago Christmas, with my Mum and Nan mixing up and cooking a Chistmas cake and wrapping one of those paper decorations around the edge. I can still smell the fruit boiling with the sugar and butter in a saucepan. That smell meant Christmas was close and only a few more sleeps till Santa came. Mum is almost 84 now and Nan, sadly, has been gone for 20 year. Wonderful memories. Thank you Renee for appreciating vintage Christmas and sharing with us. ❤🐨
AussieJen61 , What sweet sentiments. My mom is gone now ( she was 87 ). I remember her fruit cake and all the other baking, and the turkey! with gravy smooth as silk. I still have some Christmas decorations from my childhood and my mother’s. Such treasures! You are right, it is great to see Renee have such an appreciation for these things. Best wishes to you and your mum.🇨🇦
You lucked out, Renee! Great vintage Christmas stash! I remember those Japanese paper houses. We had a few and I loved the holiday dreaminess. I am surprised we didn't set the house on fire with some of the decorations!! We old things worked and we still keep on working!! Haha!
Loved Woolwoths, Woolco and others in the late 1960's-70's Bought my light up house Santa when you pulled string nose Lights up, I collected the old ones but they had them there on The fun dime store days
I worked at Woolworth when I was in high school. To bad I never knew what I was handling. Christmas time was crazy. People would not leave on Christmas Eve lol. Great video.
I have a whole box of the glass bead Christmas garland. I used to put it on our Christmas tree when the kids were at home, along with my parents glass ornaments. Now I have cats, and they are worse at breaking things than children. The big cardboard house uses the same kind of thing as blow molds, a clip with a Christmas light bulb and cord.
I have never come across the mercury glass picks at any sale. I would love to come across them for a reasonable price. This haul was well worth your time, elbow grease, and whatever you paid. My problem with finding vintage Christmas is that I want it all, lol. I have a hard time letting any go for resale. "Do people collect cords? I'm sure there's some outlet for that." BA-DUM-DUM
Hiya Renee, I miss Woolworths so much, especially the ones in the U.K. as they had great little gifts to bring home. They still had one about 10-12 years ago, it was like a close out & everything was so cheap! Still kicking myself for not buying the bamboo style flatware they were known to carry🙁 (was bringing home so much stuff after living there flat sitting 1 summer, had to pay for an extra suitcase😳). They still have them in AU... like anyone is going anywhere lately.... we have random checkpoints co ins back home into NYS! You hit the mother lode on vintage Xmas, enjoy & I know you’ll do well w/ anything you decide to sell! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️ PS I’d love to buy the Fire King spotted bowl, collect it, but broke my mixing bowls🙁.
Wow, did you know about the checkpoints or found out about them when you were lucky enough to have to go through one? The Fire King bowl was sold at the flea market, sorry! I think it looked better on camera than in real life - most of the dots were faded or the paint was off due to dish washer wear, I assume.
Paper and Moose - I’ve only heard about it on the news, through friends. Haven’t “tested” it yet as it gets me 😡, nobodies biz where I’ve gone, just want/ need to go home. They’re random each day so who knows if I cross state lines (as I often do since we’re located close to CT & NJ) I hit one... might have to send bail- oh wait, they got rid of bail in NYS so I guess I’m safe😆 (but all the criminals let go doesn’t make any of us very safe😡). J. XXX 😘🧡😻😻
Those glass beads are amazing! Often times if I am lucky enough to find the glass beads down here in South Texas, they are either broken or the colors are badly faded.
Agree on the bead garland. When I usually find them, not quite often, as you said, the beads are broken or a strand isn't complete. Glad to have found these in such great condition!
Forgot to show the Bottle Brush trees! Picked up a whole tin of them!
Soooo cool 😎
I love the bottle brush trees combined with the Putz houses! And I use the battery tea lightS to light up my houses as well. Last Christmas I placed them on the branches of my tree as ornaments. I have a few small bottle brush wreaths with spun cotton Angels in the center.
My Christmas soul sister !! I knew the Santa was from Woolworth !! They had the best holiday items ...takes me back to my grandmothers house Memphis 1960’s 🎄❤️💚
The person who collected and preserved the Christmas treasures is the way everyone should care for vintage items.
How cool 😎 we had the paper houses whine I was a kid. All the stuff from Woolworths department store .love seeing all of that. Kind of makes my heart ache to .reminds me of how much I miss my mom and dad. There gon now home with the Lord still miss them .
Love Woolworth's as a kid! It was like going on field trip!
WeAlsoHadThePaperHousesSoIFeelTheSameAsYouBlessingsToAll
I had never seen those paper houses before..and I was born in 1954..
What a great idea putting the cardboard houses up your staircase.Like an alpine village.So cheery and welcoming to go upstairs.
The miniature fire place reminds me of the card board fireplace you found earlier. Also those socks would look so cute hanging from the faux fireplace.
I miss Woolworth Stores. They carried so many wonderful things. So sad they are gone. Thanks for the memories Renee
I miss them as well. Actually I believe Woolworth still exist in England where they originated
@@kennbiggs9311 We no longer have Woolworths here in England. :(
@@kennbiggs9311 I didn't know they were still around....thanks for the info Kenn!
Thanks for the update I didn’t realize they where gone from England as well. So sad!
@@kennbiggs9311 Yes, such a shame. I used to love them. :(
Love the vintage decorations. I remember Woolworths as a kid. I loved that store and they had the best food .

How fun to see these treasures .But you get to touch and own this incredible piece of history. Christmas envy ! Wonderful !
Oh my gosh I love those cardboard houses too. My mom gave me some that my dad had given her years ago. So thrilled to have them.
It's STILL ok to have live candles🕯 on your Christmas tree!🎄 We have that over here in Denmark.🇩🇰 As long as you keep you tree hydrated and you keep an eye on the tree, everything will be fine.🕯🎄🕯🎄🕯🎄🕯🎄🕯🇩🇰

I buy old computers on eBay for under $100 and put Linux on them - works for me. The older business-grade Dells are tough as nails.

What amazing finds...always love to see old Christmas...🥰🥰
Im 64 and I have glass tree decorations my mother hung on a tree when I was little.
I've replaced all our plastic Christmas decorations and managed to buy glass baubles.Just beautiful.
I would of kept my old toys and the boxes they came in if only I had known.I had kept up with the first Barbie that came out, but I believe it got left up in my sisters attic when she moved some years ago...maybe my Snow Village will be vintage one day!
You struck Gold! All that vintage Christmas Golden❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know you'll enjoy the Christmas items whether you are keeping or selling!
I just love the old Xmas items you got. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed.
My Christmas soul sister 🎅🏻🎄
I knew that Santa was from Woolworth ❤️ This video takes me to Memphis 1960’s ❤️🎄 Thanks for sharing

Deborah Robinson me too! My parents got them from Montgomery Ward. I still have a few.
My mother had those houses. I have them in my garage in a box. Will have to go thur them. I love them so cute.
Vintage Santa is sensational - thanks for sharing!
Love love love vintage Christmas. My favorite is the angel playing the pipe organ 😍. 🙋🏽♀️

The horse has red eyes, too. 😆😆 🤗💕🦋🌸
Love vintage Christmas decor.great find.
Got about 20 putz houses from the Goodwill Outlet bins one time I was ecstatic... nobody knew what they were...lol
So much wonderful Christmas vintage!
I love this haul!!! Wish I lived close enough to visit the flea market you sell at. Y'all have the coolest sales!!!
What a score on Putz houses! Glass garlands!
I think it would be so neat to see your decor at the holidays! You should do a video tour!
Some lovely stuff. I've got some of those glass beads also the little candle holders and candles we never had them lit. I also have the old glass baubles that belonged to my mum
Serious Vintage Christmas 😁😎😁😎😁😎😁
Thank you Renee 📚📰 have a great weekend ♥️
Those wrap around frilly things go round the Xmas cake.
The glass domes I've seen called "bell jars". Cloches I think generally have knobby handles on top. Iirc
Many WONDERFUL FINDS! 👏🎉🥳☺️
What wonderful finds , would be nice go back in time and buy something old en bring it back to this time 👍😊
At 250 mins xmas wrap stuff is Christmas Cake Decorations goes around the cake. Showing my age 😉🐨🇦🇺❤⚘
Lovely pieces of vintage Christmas things u had, reminds me so much of when I was a child and still believed😉, great haul vid, thank u and happy hunting. Xxx much love from the UK 🇬🇧
Loved all of the Christmas ❤️ the cloches are really nice 😊
I would love to see the decor inside your home, Renee! I know, I'm a nosey parker... Oh, the tiny boy doll is just Gorgeous!!
Have you ever shown your house decorated for Christmas? Would love to see it ❤️
Omg...so wonderful!! Loved seeing this...so jealous!
Amazed of your finds Amazed thanks for sharing and enjoyed it stay safe out there.
WOW so many wonderful treasures.
You got so many great things! I love the paper houses. Those are way cool. Hope you do well with them!
Rene once again another great find 👍
My whole house during Christmas is Vintage decor everything
LOVE the toy horse!
My dollar store had little strings of rice lights with a battery pack. They take double A instead of the tea lights that take watch batteries. That could be cute in the Putz houses! Also if you need a brighter light, old light brites have a bulb that just go straight to a plug. Perfect for blow molds too! I would never be able to sell all that great Christmas stuff, I admire your will power lol !
I use the single string of lights from the $1 Store too! They are perfect for little places.
Love the socks! Man y’all have a treasure trove of sale up there! We do not get such goodies down here. It’s like we are getting sold what is left over after everyone else has finished.
Great finds! Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Renee! I also wish I could be time traveler and go back to Woolworth's; I save the ornament toppers - you may be surprised how many ornaments with broken necks that I have been able to save from the trash!
Awesome day. I always love your posts.
I dream of shopping back at Woolworth!!
Ohhhhhhh......😮! Putz heaven☺️🏠!!!
My mum (in the UK) used those "wrappers" around a Christmas cakes.
People, took care of their item's they couldn't run out and buy new Christmas ornaments, my mom gave me the glass ornaments, from Shiny Bright, I don't use them on my tree, but put them in a Santa sleigh. I love vintage Christmas, I used to get items for cheap just a couple of year's ago now to get vintage Christmas, these days at Thrift stores, are charging an arm and a leg, for stuff now and I don't sell it I just collect it for me...
Somebody had to sit by the tree with a bucket of water when the candles were lit 🔥
Wow! You found some amazing stuff! I'm a huge vintage Christmas and Halloween nerd!
The decorative long Christmas wraps were used to wrap around Christmas cakes. Thank you for all the great videos😀
The long wraps came in when there was rationing,or money was short and in our family for those who were keen on loads of icing The wraps lasted too.
Thats supposed to read weren't keen on icing.
Oh the memories of long ago Christmas, with my Mum and Nan mixing up and cooking a Chistmas cake and wrapping one of those paper decorations around the edge. I can still smell the fruit boiling with the sugar and butter in a saucepan. That smell meant Christmas was close and only a few more sleeps till Santa came. Mum is almost 84 now and Nan, sadly, has been gone for 20 year. Wonderful memories. Thank you Renee for appreciating vintage Christmas and sharing with us. ❤🐨
Thank you for sharing your Christmas memory and for letting me know about the cake edge paper decoration - I never would have guessed!
AussieJen61 , What sweet sentiments. My mom is gone now ( she was 87 ). I remember her fruit cake and all the other baking, and the turkey! with gravy smooth as silk. I still have some Christmas decorations from my childhood and my mother’s. Such treasures! You are right, it is great to see Renee have such an appreciation for these things. Best wishes to you and your mum.🇨🇦
You lucked out, Renee! Great vintage Christmas stash! I remember those Japanese paper houses. We had a few and I loved the holiday dreaminess. I am surprised we didn't set the house on fire with some of the decorations!! We old things worked and we still keep on working!! Haha!
It is a wonder how more things didn't catch on fire with all of the "real" lights used on trees!
Great finds in that attic!
That haul had your name on it!! I am interested in the dolls. Hopefully you will put them on Etsy.
Use the lights like for a dept 56 village house for that one paper house in the original box.
Ohhh! Awesome❤️❤️
Such wonderful treasures! I wonder if anyone has the same secret stash in their attic but it's all Vintage Halloween? Could you imagine 🖤🎃🖤
If that ever happens, I hope I'm in that attic! Haha
Please take me along as your side kick 🙏 🤣
Loved Woolwoths, Woolco and others in the late 1960's-70's
Bought my light up house Santa when you pulled string nose
Lights up, I collected the old ones but they had them there on
The fun dime store days
You find the coolest stuff
Another fun video...
Another good video from Curator Renee. I think a Q&A live session would please your subs - any chance of arranging that?
My parents had the second Santa. I remember.
I worked at Woolworth when I was in high school. To bad I never knew what I was handling. Christmas time was crazy. People would not leave on Christmas Eve lol. Great video.
That must have been a fun experience working at Woolworth! Minus the crazy customers, of course.
Love the Christmas things my favorite are the houses , I have my Grandmothers! 🎄🎄🎄
I have a whole box of the glass bead Christmas garland. I used to put it on our Christmas tree when the kids were at home, along with my parents glass ornaments. Now I have cats, and they are worse at breaking things than children. The big cardboard house uses the same kind of thing as blow molds, a clip with a Christmas light bulb and cord.

The rapper things are made to go around Christmas cakes saves people having to decorate the sides of the cake
Hiya Renee, I miss Woolworths so much, especially the ones in the U.K. as they had great little gifts to bring home. They still had one about 10-12 years ago, it was like a close out & everything was so cheap! Still kicking myself for not buying the bamboo style flatware they were known to carry🙁 (was bringing home so much stuff after living there flat sitting 1 summer, had to pay for an extra suitcase😳).

The stuff in the attic is always the best,all the the paper and decorations,wish I could show you all the stuff I have.
Those glass beads are amazing! Often times if I am lucky enough to find the glass beads down here in South Texas, they are either broken or the colors are badly faded.
Agree on the bead garland. When I usually find them, not quite often, as you said, the beads are broken or a strand isn't complete. Glad to have found these in such great condition!
