sale sale sale :)

Time for a little spring cleaning, so everything is on sale at our website and over at ebay. These are our lowest prices of the year!

New lower prices on shipping at our website, too.

If you think you are going to buy 1 item, I'd stick with buying on ebay... but more than one, go over to www.violetcottage.com, because you'll save a lot with our new combined shipping setup. All items are in both stores :)

Happy Shopping and have a wonderful week!

You find very odd things...

when you google "Vintage Christmas"...

The first images aren't THAT out of the ordinary, but this snowman... could give me nightmares if I stared at it long enough...

"it's like putting lipstick on a pig"... and while you're at it, give 'em a super creepy human face, some scary expressions, natural human picture pose "lean in", and some crazy eyes, too!

Would you like a tree with your tinsel?

Over in the Alpine regions, I guess the "be nice or you won't get any presents from Santa!" bribe wasn't enough. They came up with Krampus, Santa's evil counterpart. He would terrorize all the children who were naughty with rusty chains and just by being scary as all get-out. Either they need better toys with which to bribe or the lump of coal thing just wasn't working. How bad do you actually have to be to get a lump of coal, let alone get a visit from an evil dude from the underworld?

Here's the Santa from Durham! The city of tobacco AND medicine. Perfect dichotomy. "It's toasted!" is right!

Edna could drink into the Christmas future. (p.s... bring that couch with you!)

Tree Hive.

What... no jammers for the dog?

A polyandrist Christmas album... finally.

Jimmy! All ladders clearly state there is no standing or sitting above this step!

An only child... sweet.

At least the black sweaters scream "masculine".

Fake.

Timeless.

Apparently, this couple has made this a tradition...

and... lastly

Merry Merry everyone!!!
