When I'm out thrifting and looking for vintage Christmas decorations, I keep a lookout for paper mache decorations like the trio above. These decorations are from the 60's and/or 70's and mostly made in Japan.
Seriously, who could resist this sweet angel boy?
Or a family or carolers?
I like the colors on this groovy little angel.
I'm attracted to any set with three girls as I have three daughters.
I think these Three Wise Men are regal
I like the details on these two choir boys.
I've noticed that these type of paper mache decorations are becoming more collectible. All the more reason to thrift!
They are lovely Jil, I haven't found any made of paper mache here. Three daughters! And I thought I had my hands full with two!
ReplyDeleteAnd these are all ones you found? Nice collection!
ReplyDeleteNone of these are mine. I'm just to lazy to photograph the ones I have.

It's a bit sad that these have basically been replaced by mass produced plastic ones now, right?
ReplyDeleteIt is sad. That's another positive about thrifting - to find things that are charming and well designed.
