I found some great deals at an estate sale a few weekends ago....among some of the treasures were some great vintage Christmas lights. The best part of the find was that they were still in the original boxes....and they work!!
I just love the graphics on the box!! So retro!!!
I am amazed that the cords and bulbs were in such good shape......love them!!
Thanks for linking in to Vintage Thingie Thursday....I'd like to leave you today with this thought....try to give a smile or a kind word to everyone you meet in any given day....you never know when that very person is trying their hardest to hold it all together in spite of their hearts being shattered into a million pieces....that one kind gesture just might make a huge difference.
LOVE THOSE LIGHTS! Oh what memories they bring back! My Dad and Mom STILL are using these old lights at Christmas...OH HAPPY DAY when they invented some THAT, when one light burned out THE WHOLE SET went black! UGH!!! What a chore THAT WAS,hehe! I would definitely buy these if I see them in a shop! "MEMORIES"!!!!!!

Wish I had saved all we had like this. However, how do you know anymore what to save or have room far it. Great find.

ReplyDeleteI copied your statement from the bottom of your post and put it as my FB status.
ReplyDeleteYou know how good are they, that they light independently.
ReplyDeleteChristmas lights these days drive me mad, when one light goes, none of them will work. Trying to find the dud by taking out everyone is a pain. You won't have that problem with these little beauties. Great find,and love the box too. xx
Oh, those were the only Christmas lights we ever had or knew of for years! Still love them. Thanks for hosting Suzanne! Pam
ReplyDeleteThose lights are perfect Suzanne! What a find!! I can envision Ralphie's dad trying to replace the fuse. Will you use them on your tree in 2012? Thanks for hosting and thanks for hosting all of the past VTT's!
