Cardboard Christmas

Well here's my dining room tree and putz--the one I affectionately refer to as a "Brooklyn Christmas" putz; the green brownstone (smile) is a trashbashed fisher price or playskool house that had seen better days (the windows are vellum) and there are a lot of vintage/antique pieces in the displays. This is the RIGHT side first which contains my one extravagance for the holidays--a new house by Howard of littleglitterhouses.com--followed by of course the left

And here's the whole thing

Fantastic putz house, Howard.

Great job of repurposing that Fisher Price brownstone, Maria. Love the other pieces as well. Thanks for sharing!

P.S. We had the musical angels, only they were cast in a faux-wood brown plastic. We also had the plastic nativity down in the corner. Actually we had several but most of them had the figures cast of glow-in-the-dark plastic, not painted. We thought the glowed in the dark because they'd been blessed by the priest.

WOW!!!! Terrific creativity and very inspiring, Maria!!! Time for me to get cracking on the decorations.

Thank you all--and Howard's house was just perfect!

Very Nice!! Howard's house fits right in and looks awesome!! Love the cast iron Horse and Ice wagon, my folks have one, really neat to see!
