CHRISTMAS THRIFT HAUL 🤶🏼 | Vintage Christmas Decor | Goodwill Finds & More! 

❗️The website would not let me keep my price low AND offer free shipping, so I adjusted the price to reflect what free shipping would take off! Sorry! 🎅🏼 T-shirt: home-made-vintage-3.creator-spring.com/listing/vintage-santa-tee 🎅🏼 Mug: home-made-vintage-3.creator-spring.com/listing/vintage-santaface-mug

My favorite item is the white platter with holly and berries around the edge. It just looks classy. I do always love Santas though. Those "Angel Candles" actually go with angel "chimes." It's a brass stand with a circle tray at the bottom. There's a stem up[ the center with cup-like chimes attached around it. There are flying angels in line with the chimes. At the top is a fan sort of attachment. The candles stand at the bottom around the tray. When they are lit, the fan turns and so do the angels. The angels bump the chimes and make them ring. The bit larger candles can also be used with "pyramids." I don't know if you know them, but I know you would like them. They are made of wood. Some are pretty tall, some are quite short. Built in a cone or pyramid shape, they have several levels and the same type fan at the top. When the candles make the fan turn, it turns the different levels too. There is traditionally a nativity on the bottom level and maybe shepherds and wise men. You can find sheep, a donkey, camels, other people and animals too. They fill up all the levels! The fans usually come with separate blades, so if you find one, make sure all the blades are there. It won't work with a blade missing. I hope you look for one, because I'm sure you will love it. Some are nicer than others, but I love even the cheap ones. I have found them at thrift stores, yard sales, and estate sales. I don't think you'll find one at Goodwill, but prove me wrong! The originals came from Germany, I think. Sorry this is so long, I got so enthused. Oh!... My Mum had candle holders for putting real candles on the tree. but we only did it once. Yes, my family is a German heritage. You have to light the candles, sing or something then blow out the candles right away. You can't leave them burning. The Victorians had many fires from candle lit trees! You are right! Happy Ho0lidays!

Yes, before electricity and before it was widely used/available in homes, people used candles on their trees with clip holders. I remember my mother telling me about it. Yes, there were fires as a result, but I’m sure many people were careful. Thanks for the haul. 😊

Wow, you found some great vintage Christmas pieces! Love the singing angels ♥️

Love the white Santa pitcher & little Santa mugs so cute!!! 🎅🏻🎄

*Yes, people DID use lit candles🕯on their Christmas🎄Trees, but only kept them lit for a short time (since they are a fire hazard) while the family sat and enjoyed the tree. Back then, trees were traditionally freshly cut and decorated on Christmas Eve and the candles🕯were lit on Christmas Day, while the branches were still fresh. Trees were usually taken down on New Year's Day or January 2nd because of the increasing risk of being a fire 🔥 hazard - and no, I am not old enough to have been alive in the early 1900's - but my grandparents were and shared their Christmas memories with me before they passed away. 😉🤍❤🤍*

Love the 3 choir boys.

Back in the day before electric treelights, people put their trees up on Christmas eve and after the children went to bed the adults decorated the tree to suprise the children on Christmas morn. The candles were only lit for a short time and yes, there were many fires.

You could put that santa tray inside center of an outdoor wreath. It is cute vintage Santa face, add some plastic snowflakes, fake candy canes and plaster "Christmas cookies" to wreath...it would be charming!

Love the pillow patterns. So cute. It's not wasting money if it makes you happy 😊

The reindeer, bird and rabbit are for pillows. I bought mine in 1985.

The original Santa mugs from Japan came with 4 different expressions; both eyes open, both eyes closed, left eye winking, right eye winking. If you find all 4 originals, you have a complete set. The miniature mug versions were popular in 5&dime stores in the mid 1970's. My sister and spent our allowance to buy a set. My mom scolded us for being so silly as they couldn't hold much actual beverage in them.😂

*Danielle, I think 🤔 your "baby blanket" would also make a cute table topper or dresser scarf. You could also use it as a tree skirt around a smaller Christmas 🎄 Tree 🥰.*

I love it at all but my favorite is the white Santa PITCHER I can't believe you found something looks like that at a Goodwill I would have FAINTED I LOVE THE SANTA YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN THE YARD TOO AND OF COURSE THE SANTA MUGS ❤️ good video

Hello friend these things are so beautiful and vintages specials congratulation on your shopping from chile

Just ordered your adorable vintage Santa mug to enjoy my coffee or hot chocolate in over the holidays. So excited for it to arrive later this month.

Your top is super cute and I think that I may order the mug. I think that I have a tin addiction! So many great finds and too many favorites to list. I can't wait to see how you style your new treasures!

I love the angels with the red candle

*Hi Danielle❣ Had to stop the video to suggest that you take a plank of wood or a book the same size as your "angel hair box" to square it up for display. It should make it look better and easier to display. 😉 Now, back to the video. 💕💕❤*

Girl, That shirt! 🎄❤️!

Great stuff loved it

Great finds xx

Hahaha!😂 No one alive today, had lit candles on their tree. That was Victorian Times, late 1800's. Yes, they did actually light them. The candles stood in tin clips on the thicker part of the branch. They stood where no needle tips hung above the flame. The tree was (hopefully) kept well watered, so it was green wood and not dry. The tree was only lit for a very short time on Christmas Eve, during celebrations, and yes, unfortunately, they did sometimes catch fire, at which time I'm sure the men were quick to tackle and suppress the flames. No one went off to bed leaving the tree candles burning. 😊

All of your items are so nice!…I found a cup just like your white Holt Howard Pitcher but mine is soo small and it’s not a pitcher just a small cup. It’s marked 1959 Hold Howard.

Thanks for sharing.

So many adorable , fun items. Love the red deer picks and the fabric piece with the deer on it. So adorable.

You found some great vintage pieces! Can’t wait to see how you style them.

The nutcracker on the silver tin is made of pewter. In the 80’s, I had Christmas stores and we sold tons of those tins in different sizes and designs.

Such a Fun Haul, Danielle ❤️✨

Your kneeling Santa with Jesus comes from a very popular painting. I don't remember the Title and Artist, but in it, Santa has knelt and removed his hat, to humbly worship and acknowledge the One True King. ❤

Received my t shirt, love it!

Cute Christmas things today, love the reminder plate ❤⛄the reindeer sewing panel would look great in an old frame ❤

The “pillow/toy-to-be” would be sewn and stuffed. My Granny made similar ones- love them. I love vintage Christmas decorations- Thanks for sharing.

That is so me too about crafting / diy . I sure hope I follow through with my ideas . Fingers crossed . I’m rooting for you too .. 👍🏼

I’m so jealous that you found such awesome vintage Christmas pieces at your GW!?! Anything like that near me and you’d have to bid on them on GW online....sad really,because they were at one point very easy to find and purchase inexpensively at my Goodwills. Very very nice finds 🎅🏼🎁🎄

You are ready for Christmas,great haul,the little angels are my favorite!!!

It’s those ears on that Santa that are so elfy!

You found so many great vintage pieces. You have very good taste!

⛄awes ome

Such a great haul! My favorite was the 3 figurines at the end.

Love the "vintage" items.. take care.

Great vintage finds.

I love the first little angel figurine you got for $2. Adorable 🥰

You just reminded me I needed to by my lights! 😂 Great score on the candles. I almost never think to look on eBay when I’m having trouble finding something. I need to do that!

I grew up in the’50’s. No we did not have candles on our tree. We had bubble lights. Candles on the tree we turn of century when the Germans started decorating trees. You should read the history of Christmas traditions and trees. I ordered a Tee shirt.

Love the little boot, it would look real cute with a bottle brush tree in it 🌲love all your finds. 🥰❤️

Love ❤ it all I can't wait to see ur Xmas decorations videos 😍

I love your videos and I'm so excited for more Christmas ones❤

When it comes to candles on the tree I always think of the movie with Olivia Newton John called (I think) A Mom Ford Christmas. In the movie she saw a magazine that had candles lit on the tree so she tried it and she lit the house on fire! Anyway it was a random thought... I don't think you can even find that movie anywhere.

We are remodeling our bedroom and I can't wait to go thrifting for some goodies to decorate!! Great haul!!

We have the IDENTICAL red felt reindeer ornaments from my childhood (late 70s/early 80s) . The blue eyelids are what makes them so vintage! I would put them together with all of the vintage items you picked up with hints of blue. Maybe you can make them work together for a Christmas display.❄️☃️👍❤️

They would not leave the candles lit long!

The Nutcracker circle tin would be cute for a vintage ice skating assemblage somehow with some deer, faux snow, and some ice skaters/ice skates or even a cute Nutcracker assemblage!!! I love the Baby Jesus candle!!! I love collecting anything Jesus or Bible related from nativity scenes to hymnals and everywhere inbetween!!!

The ticking would be cute to tear into strips and wrap some plastic candy canes or just 1 large one.

I always have the same question if some people put candles on their Christmas trees, great haul 💙💜❄️

I had to purge my stash of stuff I had collected to make assemblages for crafts fairs. I knew I would never have the time to make everything I had plans for.

I grew up in Germany and have candle clips from kathe wolfhart. We light the real candles every year.

The rain deer 🦌 on the fabric isa pillow when cut n sewed stuff it with batting

So I’m at my parents right now as I watch this video, and asked my dad who is 82 yrs old, if he had real burning candles on his Christmas tree growing up on the farm, and he said absolutely they did! Now he did say they only let the candles burn for a short period of time and that the trees they would bring in to the house were very fresh and held a lot of moisture from being frozen so not too dangerous lol! Seems crazy to me!

Danielle this was another great haul!!! You found some amazing pieces! But i think you have a great eye for it! If you decide to sell the blanket with the sled please let me know i have a picture that matches it and I would love to have it to put on the chair under the picture. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Cute T-shirt

Aww that Santa party tray is tacky but super cute!!

He is an Elf.. look at the ears.

Have you opened the blue boxes of candles? I have same blue boxes but they do not contain blue candles. The candles are actually red. Nice finds!

Your shirt is adorable! I ordered one. Went up 2 sizes just in case. Your "youtube" promo did not work for me. It is ok for me, but you might want to check it out for other buyers.

Promo code didn't work for free shipping 😢

The promo code isn’t working for free shipping

I placed my order through Teespring and it would not do the free shipping when I entered the code. I tried several times. Can you reach out to me to get this fixed. May be happening to other folks that order your merch. Thank you. Anita🐝

Seems to me that you buy a lot of things that you don't know what you are going to do with them.
