Die Cuts for all occasions, and other stuff

It was definitely a die cut sort of day. I found a huge stack of them at one rummage, and a few at an estate sale. The huge stack, unfortunately, are all LAMINATED!!! And there are some really old Hallowe'en ones!!! AHHHHH!!! The lady who sold them was a teacher who used them for classroom decorations.


 Santa and carolers - they came in duplicates.

 Super cute deer - also duplicates.

 Love the colors. 

 Holly adorned street lamp.

 A Beistle turkey. I love turkeys!

 Eureka Mr. and Mrs. Claus -original tag included (.49 cents).

 Honey-comb Valentine's Day heart.

 A Beistle Leprechaun chilling on a mushroom. 

 And it came from Target... good ol' Target.

 Some cute Easter decorations.

 Duckies. 

 A Dennison snowman. I love Dennison graphics - they are really cute.

 More Dennison..

 Easter rabbits and duck. 

 Awww...

 Valentine's Day stuff..

 There are a bunch of these hearts and cupids.

 Old Merry Christmas banner.

 I have four of the one with the bells. Must have been popular back in the day. 

 Bunnies all dressed up and ready for town..

 More Easter...

And more...

 The weird squash die cut is from Beistle. Random.

 Admit it, he's cute!

 Beistle haunted house and witch.


E. H. Luhrs haunted house and witch.. looks familiar. 

 He's so happy!


 My mom had the skeleton/pumpkin/bat die cut back in the 80's.

 His little gold tooth is sweet.

 I love this graphic. A pumpkin wearing spectacles!

 A 1965 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' die cut. I wish there were more of these. 


 The black cat on the right is nifty. 

 Ooooh, spooky witch! Great colors!



 Dennison St. Patrick's Day die cuts.

 Little leprechauns from Hallmark.

 A little too cheesy for me though. 

 Snowman.

 Gobble gobble!


 I scored a turquiose Club Aluminum pot with lid - brand new, never used!


 Lots of cook books too.. .5 cents a piece. Crazy!


 $1.00 at an estate sale.

 Weiner dog salt and pepper shakers.

 
Cute lamb salt and pepper shakers. I'm not sure if they are original Holt Howard or reproductions though.

 Nice drinking glasses and a red tulip swanky swig.

 Two Pyrex cherry pattern bowls. I found a third, but it was scratched to hell.

 You got that right, Ziggy. Federal milk glass mug.

 Lefton lamb nursery planter. Those eyelashes!

Cute donkey planter. Those black marks on his nose are under the original glaze. Believe me, I've tried everything on the planet to clean it off!

Vintage apple canisters, red striped salt and pepper shakers, and a red tray.. I guess red is the color of the day!

Old tea kettle. I scrubbed the hell out of it to bring it's gleam back. The bottom was so grime encrusted that I only got half of it off - at least you can see the copper color on some of it though.

Bird whistle. :-)
