Vintage Orange Crepe Paper Flameproof Streamer
More Vintage
More Streamers & Banners
We love crepe paper - and not just for streamers. Make bows and flowers, cover nut cups, make ornaments. The possibilities are endless.
And, on top of that, this is VINTAGE crepe. This is just what you need for making reproduction Christmas ornaments. Using the real vintage stuff makes them look and feel authentic. This crepe roll was produced by the Dennison company, well known for their home arts papers and other supplies for decades. Dennison has since merged with Avery office products to become Avery Dennison. So new quality Dennison craft and art products are no longer available.
The Dennison Flameproof Steamer sticker remains on each roll, but is a little loose on some of the rolls we have in stock. There is some modest wear and a touch of fading (from storage) on the outside of the roll, but that makes it even more appropriate for your vintage projects!
These 45-foot rolls originally sold for 25¢. That and the label suggest that the rolls are from the mid-20th century.

What a darling crow, perched atop a nice healthy pumpkin. S/he's holding a star and seems so content and ready to entertain. On the reverse are two autumn leaves against a black background.

Matching Turkey Hot Pad
What a clever set of coasters - little die cut turkeys. Perfect for Thanksgiving, or just for fun, these coasters are based on a century-old image from Victorian times. Each coaster measures about 4-1/2 inches high and 4-1/2 inches wide as well. These are expertly die-cut and boast beautiful lamination that ensures that they resist hot and cold temperatures. They are easy to clean with a damp cloth (don't immerse them). Their durable cork-like backing stays flexible. You might even choose to use these as mini hot pads on your Thanksgiving table - for your smaller side dishes.

This nicely laminated turkey hot pad is just what you need for your Thanksgiving Table. It resists hot and cold temperatures. It's easy to clean - just use a damp cloth.

The hot pad measures 9 inches high by 8 inches wide.

Wind-Up Performing Seal
This has just got to be one of the coolest wind-up toys ever! Our little squirrel is hanging tight onto his acorn - it is for no one but him! But, he's willing to show off what he can do!
1 He spins around on his tummy with his acorn... 2 He sits up straight... 3 He spins his acorn between his fingers on his nose... 4 He flips his tail up and down... 5 He stamps his hind feet at two different speeds - one fast, the other slow... 6 He drops back down on his tummy and starts all over again!
But, he never gives up his acorn! He is so sweet that we all had to have one!

Card Full of Turkeys
More Greeting Cards
More Friendship
At first we thought this to be only a Thanksgiving Day card. On second glance, we decided that, indeed, it just might be a perfect card for an apology. Who, when wrong has not thought of oneself as a turkey?
The inside greeting:
"So, we're all agreed - on three, we rush the gate! Now, who here can count to three? Anyone?
The card measures 5 by 7 inches and is accompanied by a bright yellow envelope.

Elegant Embossed Metallic Foil Seals - Cornucopia
More Stickers & Seals
These elegantly embossed metallic seals are elegant and simple at once. They are made in the tradition of the classic stationers of centuries past. Each package contains 12 gorgeous pressure sensitive self-stick seals ready to enhance your artwork as well as your correspondence.
In Greek mythology, the goat horn was known as the horn of plenty. It was a magnificent horn that offered the owner anything that s/he requested.

Vintage Turkey Seal with Gummed Backing
More Vintage Stickers & Seals
More Vintage Die Cuts
This vintage sticker was produced by the Abingdon Press (a publishing house associated with the Methodist Church). Each nicely die-cut with the earthy autumn tones you'd expect when coloring a turkey. Each seal measures 2-1/8 inches high by 7/8 inch at the widest part.
These were originally sold separately, but we've not been able to determine the original price, as they were made in the mid-20th century.
Because the adhesive on the back is as vintage as the pieces themselves, we recommend that you moisten them with a sponge or cloth. Or, use archival glue or paste instead of the vintage adhesive.

Copper (Orange) Krausbouillion - Old Fashioned Crinkle Wire Metal Tinsel
More Krausbouillion, Crinkle Wire & Other Tinsel
Old-fashioned crinkle wire, just like the tinsel used on antique European holiday ornaments. Use it as is or stretch it out and use it in its crinkly form. Wrap it around your project, bunch it up it up, just play with it. You might even want to use it as a curly tinsel garland for a feather tree!
SilverCrow offers our coppery orange Krausbouillion in generous 1/2-ounce packages. Although silver Krausbouillion is the traditional color used in most older European ornaments, we think that you'll be able to fashion some wonderful fall and autumn projects with this versatile color.
The original Krausbouillion is made in Germany and Austria. Ours is made by a modernized process that plates copper wire, so it is less expensive. It's quite beautiful and lends old world elegance to any project.

Vintage Chenille Squirrel
More Vintage Items
More Ornaments and Such
We love chenille and these little squirrel boys are one of the reasons why! Old store stock figures like these are few and far to find, so we are full of ourselves when we find them. Each is sitting on a scalloped cardboard base, so they were probably birthday cake toppers or something of the kind.
Each little fellow measures about 4 inches tall with a hand painted spun cotton head. We think he is holding a spun cotton nut, but it doesn't look like an acorn.
Each one is in pretty great condition considering the age. We suspect they are from the 1950s or earlier. The chenille is a bit flat from storage and there is the occasional spot or crease in one of them. We've added a bit of paper grass and placed each one in a plastic display box, making him ever the more special!
None of these have been used for their intended purpose and they were together in a group when found.

SilverCrow offers our brown Krausbouillion in generous 1/2-ounce packages.

Book by Michael Sowa
We love Michael Sowa's artwork. With a bit of whimsy mixed with philosophy and thoughtfulness, he often provides us with sleepless nights - just wondering what the story behind them image might be!
From the imaginative mind of artist Michael Sowa, this slightly scary card will surely make you think differently about Thanksgiving! We know there's a message here. This delightful turkey couple is dressed to the nines, having done an errand of their own. They seem to be squeamish, and well they should be with the lurking shadow of human behind them.
Sowa's art evokes wonder and amazement; a mix of surrealism and comic illustration, of humor and seriousness.

You'll never believe the depth of color in these magnificent fruit baskets. The grapes, strawberries, pears and other fruit look good enough to eat. The amazing printing almost looks like an oil painting!

Squirrel and Acorn Necklace
This darling squirrel is packing up his acorns for the winter and we caught him in the act! Our fun pendant is suspended from a chocolate crystal rosary-style chain. The little squirrel is made of modern polyresin, but it could easily be mistaken for authentic celluloid! He is holding his precious cargo - a silvery acorn charm.
From Classic Hardware (a favorite of Lucinda Williams, Sex and the City stars and more), we're delighted to offer this wonderfully sweet little squirrel pendant and chain.
The chocolate glass faceted bead chain chain measures 17 inches and the pendant adds an additional 2 inches.

Old-Fashioned Chenille Scrap Turkey Buddies
More Ornaments
Chenille pipe cleaners have been used for crafting for ages! These little buddies are made to look old-fashioned with their scraps for their heads and tails. The rest of their bodies are fashioned from chenille wire and a hanging loop at top might even double for a napkin holder! They are dressed to the nines in top hats, and one of the fellows sports a banner, bearing their cry:
Gobble, Gobble
Use him to decorate your old fashioned holiday tree, or add him to a friend's package, so s/he might do the same. They make lovely table decorations for any turkey dinner (although they might not agree!)

Art Postcard - We Had a Hot Time
Wow! It must've been hot - for the devil himself to attend! Even if you're not a witch or warlock, what a fun way to say "thank you" for an evening out or afternoon party - or, for anything that was fun to do. It might also be fun to show off to those who declined to attend! In any case, we love this reproduction postcard from an original 1908 card!
