I hit the jackpot last weekend at the St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store in Flagstaff. They had all of their Christmas Goodies marked down to 50% off, and I was blessed enough to happened upon a huge bag of Ornaments (only .50 cents for the whole bag!!!). Some of my favorites are pictured below....
The Snowman pictured above is made of a very hard plastic, almost like bakelite... so charming!

This guy cracks me up! Look at the sweet little mini bottle brush tree in the back of his sleigh.
Okay... wheels are turning in my head now... this has got to be an Alice in Wonderland inspired goodie!
Love vintage deer...
The creme de la creme! How cute is that Santa on the right... is he playing cymbals and skiing at the same time? That's one craaazy multitasking Santa! And the chenille elves look easy to replicate. I think I'll try to make a few pixie-fied versions. :-)Most of these will wind up as package tags or be incorporated into collages to hang on my studio wall. I love what some of these fabulous artists, like the mega talented Magpie Ethel, can do with their vintage finds. Also Check out Sea Dream Studio's lovely Fairy Shadowbox made from vintage elements here. The talent of these ladies and so many others out there blows my mind!
(((hugs))) everyone! :-)

Wonderful finds! I have a sweet little flocked Alice ornament that I bet is from the same set as your card ornament. :)

Looks like you really hit the jackpot. All for 50 cents? Wow! I just love vintage ornaments. I have a grouping that I place on a cake plate w/cloche....I'll have to take a photo of them and put it on my blog (whenever I finally get my decorations finished...)
Oh Jenny, how lucky! They were waiting there just for you. They are just as darling as they can be. I second Lori on her post. I would love to see what you do with your new old stash.
Warmly
Deanna :)
