Love this video! Don't forget the vinyl/rubber reindeer. The colored ones (blue/green/purple (very rare)) can go for hundreds of dollars. Also some of the celluloid Christmas items are pricey.

I’ve had a few Christmases where I didn’t have it in me to do a tree, and that was just fine. Be kind to yourself this year-it gets easier. You’re such a positive person-I appreciate your honesty-we’re all rooting for you!

I have the same table top blow mold Santa that you have over your right shoulder. It was my grandparents and they put it in their front window of their house every year.

Hello cute items most of which I've saved 30+ yrs and my best vintage finds were from salvage or thrift stores. My mom still has her snowy village from 1960s she handmade from Ivory Snow. I have pine cone guys all around! Happy Holidays Oh..always use costume jewelry for shimmer factor, this year I'm making strings of crystals and bulbs

I love your videos, Emily! Vintage Christmas just soothes my soul and speaks to me like no other time of the year! It’s so special. I loved this video. I collect a lot of vintage Christmas pieces. I have 3 aluminum trees, and my fav thing to collect is Mercury glass ornies from the 50-60s. I just started collecting pixies and Santa’s!! I love them! Would love to see more Christmas videos!!! Keep it up friend. 😀❤️👍

Fun video. I have about four or five dozen vintage Shiny Brites and three of the original boxes. I have a large collection of bottle brush trees, too, all vintage, and a vintage lighted ceramic tree with snow tipped branches. I also have two vintage Shiny Brite tree toppers. Love them.

Aww my mom has that smooshed face Santa, she said she's had it since she was a kid (60's). His beard was replaced at some point though. Not sure if he's worth anything, but it's one of the few items she still has from her childhood, so he's very special to us!

I love the vintage Christmas items but do not want to miss out on new creations, like Christopher Radko. Those egg nog sets are harder to find these days. I do not like egg nog either. I collect it all. Another great video, Emily.

Such a fun topic! I got a set of Tru-Tone lights the first year they made them (I think 2 years ago) and I loooove them! I got the fabric wrapped cord. They are much more expensive now than when I bought my set. I have to budget for next year to get enough strands for my tree plus the new tree topper they make!

If this tells you anything, I bought $400 worth of Tru-Tone lights last year and placed an early bird order in July (2023) for another $120 worth of C-7 bulbs that should be shipping anytime. Without a doubt, if you like the vintage incandescent lights, you will absolutely love Tru-Tones. Possibly this season you'll be able to order a set. I'd suggest ordering a box of 25 standard lights if you want to try them out. Their site should be reopening soon to take orders for this coming holiday season. Any as anyone who's a past customer or watched their site "thinking about" purchasing some knows, they usually sell out of inventory each season.

How dangerous ae the old c10s really? I fund a BUNCH in my attic and would love to use them outside. Even with a dimmer, they're a hazard? I mean we used them every year growing up in the 80s and 90s... and I just can't afford the trutones sadly.
@dwsheffer

@@natalie8212 The danger is in the older bulbs that burn really hot, especially when used indoors and on natural trees that eventually dry out. I used modern cool burning incandescent C-7's and C-9's inside on my trees and around doorways for years. They aren't dangerous, I just wanted the even cooler burning and HUGELY more energy efficient Tru-Tones to replace them. If you're using them outdoors they shouldn't be a problem......BTW, I don't know what a C10 is?
