'Tis the season! From our often overlooked "Everything Else" department, we have a 1951 recording of Irving Berlin's I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas. From Peter Pan Records, the record itself shows just mild wear, and the sleeve is in good condition, too. Why not dust off the old record player and give this a whirl? By the way... spend $15, get five bucks... use coupon code christmas5 when checking out. |

Oh, what a delicate apron we weave! This is a magnificent "pin-top" bib apron featuring organdy and lace, with embroidered embellishments. Yes, it's a pin-top... that means that if you want to wear the bib "upright", then you must use safety pins. Just one of the many gems found in our Vintage Aprons department. Most certainly, one of the aprons only retrieved from the cedar chest for very special occasions! Like aprons? Like saving money? All aprons are 25% off... use coupon code christmasaprons when checking out. |

What would be a better way to spend Christmas than to sing about being stranded on a remote, tropical island? Well, for the literature or music enthusiast, this is a real treat! From deep within our collection of Vintage Sheet Music, we present you a number from the 1916 Al Jolson musical, Robinson Crusoe. If you look closely, the native is holding a parasol. Don't tell his friends, or he'll be embarrassed! Robinson Crusoe really did have it pretty rough. He didn't have the internet and couldn't save 20% on sheet music. Use coupon code christmasmusic when checking out. |

We really don't need to include "Victorian" in the title of the item on the right, but we did, anyhow... This was from our personal collection of many years, finally given up to the shop due to lack of space on the walls. Nay, do not cry for us - our cups runneth over with other fine works such as this, but this one was hard to let go, indeed. There's a short "story" that goes with this print. Be sure and check out the full description page and have a look... my, have times changed! The beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder. The beauty of an online coupon is that you can get a $10 discount for spending $50. Use coupon code christmas10 when checking out. |

Ever dream of Christmas in 1949? Well, the Saturday Evening Post issue at right depicts a worn out couple after decorating the tree... perhaps things haven't changed that much, after all? Our Vintage Magazines department illustrates various periods like no other. Read and see exactly what was happening, who was famous, which team won the World Series, or how bad the Winter was in the Midwest. Drop by and peer into the past. Prices were a lot cheaper in 1949. We'd like to reminisce about the good old days. Spend $300 and get $100 discount. Use coupon code christmas100 when checking out. |

My, what a wonderful depiction of Christmas! This is an antique buggy blanket, adorned with two of our favorite beasts. Made of wool and bear skin, this must be incredibly warm when the snow flies. The bear skin is damaged (on the back), but we think the printed side looks lovely. This would be warm and snuggly using it on a sleigh ride. Use coupon code christmas150 after filling your cart with $500 and get $150 off your order, which may make you feel warm and snuggly, too. |
