{"New" Christmas stuff this year}
This was the big find for me this year. I got a huge box of slightly deteriorated putz houses (along with 4 vintage stockings) for 10 bucks. I was at an estate sale that had been canceled but they were going to let the few people who had shown up shop anyway. I was digging around in all the unmarked boxes that had been hauled down from the attic when I opened one to see these!!! I was trying to keep my poker face when I asked the price. The guy said "Those look like a project!" and was glad to be rid of them. I have been wanting a set of these for 15+ years. The houses had been in the attic for decades in the horrific Florida heat which caused the glue to separate some of the roofs and bases, however everything is there. I have a plan for them, as is, for next Christmas! This year I am just going to display a few in a mini ghetto.
