I forgot the German term for those, yet I know for certain these Christmas ornaments are also found in Germany during the 60s to 70sChrissRedhttp://september990.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-63938514287396349882012-12-25T20:17:30.704+00:002012-12-25T20:17:30.704+00:00I don't know which countries use the red and w...I don't know which countries use the red and white toadstools (which I call mushrooms)a lot, but they seem to be fairly common. My old family tree had some really nice glass mushroom ornaments which I assume were imported to the U.S. as were most glass ornaments.Postcardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399915833682943432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-62951127924860005092012-12-24T16:40:51.096+00:002012-12-24T16:40:51.096+00:00What a charming selection ... hope that you have a...What a charming selection ... hope that you have a good Christmas this year, Sheila.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-66877558920425694552012-12-24T16:32:07.225+00:002012-12-24T16:32:07.225+00:00I agree with TB, the second one with the magpies s...I agree with TB, the second one with the magpies seems more like Hansel and Gretel going off into the wilderness.

The Dutch seem to be frugal people so here you get two wishes for the price of one :) The artist of the first card, Lies van Willis, seems to be well known here. It was easy find more of her work (http://www.inoudeansichten.nl/ansichten/lies-van-willes/p97155-lies-van-willes-24.html). I did not yet find out when she lived but I've seen one card designed in 1941. <br />Merry Christmas, Sheila AND a Happy New Year!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-30237361986931572512012-12-23T12:44:05.217+00:002012-12-23T12:44:05.217+00:00I've never seen a real New Year card; all thes...I've never seen a real New Year card; all theses are delightful.

The last one however, appears the more interesting. The sliegh is made of horseshoes, a sign of good luck in the UK. Whilst I've never seen a New Year card, we traditionally wish people Good Luck for the New Year. Horse shoes, as symbols of good fortune, most frequently appear on Wedding Cards, but the horse shoes are always upright so the Good Luck doesn't drain out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-1602364810445688762012-12-22T19:35:49.896+00:002012-12-22T19:35:49.896+00:00Such an interesting perspective on images of the h...Such an interesting perspective on images of the holidays. I wonder if the use of Christmas images on the New Year cards had anything to do with the celebration of Epiphany / Little Christmas on January 6. At any rate, Merry Christmas to you!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-31171497247030632022012-12-22T18:04:30.875+00:002012-12-22T18:04:30.875+00:00What a delightful post you've shared today!
