Christmas Past
Wooden Toy with turned boxwood handle attached to the ball with string, 19th century.
If you share my passion for vintage toys and are interested in the festive home decor of days gone by, I'm sure you'll enjoy the Christmas Past Advent Calendar created by the Geffrye Museum in London.
Click on Day One to discover this 1940's Santa Claus Snow House novelty gift housed within a gas mask box and Day Two to reveal Bruss, one of the many thousands of teddy bears made by the German company Steiff and sold at shops in Edwardian England.
The Geffrye Museum's current exhibition "400 Years of Seasonal Traditions in English Homes" (23 Nov - 5 January 2011) offers visitors a fascinating insight into how Christmas has been celebrated in English middle-class homes from 1600 to the present day. Each of the eleven period rooms is decorated with authentic decorations providing the perfect setting for visitors to explore the origins of some of the rich and colourful traditions of Christmases past.

If you do get chance to visit, don't miss the mini exhibition of vintage Christmas Posters from Heals dating back to the early part of the 20th Century.
If only I still lived in London...

Cats & Dogs
March House Books have a small selection of good quality vintage games (and rare children's books) that I'm sure would please any toy collector or child at heart.
A wonderful heirloom, piece of decor for a child's room and gift for someone special this Christmas.

Vintage Rocker - Trampoline
Vintage Handpainted Sideboard - Little Pop Machine
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Two great addresses, check them out!

The Bucket Tree
They've just updated their online vintage shop The Bucket Tree, and I spotted some lovely decorative objects for kids. Why not pick something for boys for a change?
