M&M's SNOWBALL ORNAMENT Red is Santa, Yellow is Rudolph - (eBay item 310007763795 end time Dec-19-07 19:51:51 PST)
This M&M's Snowball Christmas ornament features Red as Santa in his sleigh and Yellow as Rudolph. They're on top of a snowy red ball and have a red cord to hang the ornament. Cute!
The original box says, "Includes a 5.30 oz. bag of 'M&M's'® Chocolate Candies!" and shows how the top lifts off to reveal the candy. But I opened it and the candy is gone. No matter. Fill the snowball up again and again!
The ball itself will sit on a table. It's marked, "CE ©Mars Inc., 'M&M's', 'M' and the M&M's characters are registered trademark of Mars Incorporated. Made in China."

Vintage CLIP-ON SUNGLASSES Engraved Metal Rims, Case! - (eBay item 310006697721 end time Dec-16-07 18:49:01 PST) These vintage clip-on sunglasses have fancy engraved or embossed design around the metal rims that might be brass. There's no design on the bar that connects the lenses. They're flexible and measure four and a half inches wide when straightened out. I see no maker's mark.
The lenses are 39 mm high and 42 mm wide. The nose width is about 2 cm wide when the glasses are straightened out fully. The clips will fit around glasses up to 6 mm thick.
There's a half inch minor scratch in the green (Polarized?) covering on the left lens at the center top. The right lens has several smaller scratches in the middle. I didn't see them until I took a close look for condition.
The case is metal covered with shiny textured black fabric or paper with wine velvet lining. They say, "Kennedy Optical Co., Optical Specialists, Franklin - Oil City - Warren, PA."

Vintage Alum WOODPECKER TOOTHPICK HOLDER Picks Up Picks - (eBay item 310006118905 end time Dec-14-07 21:26:19 PST) This vintage cast aluminum woodpecker toothpick holder moves to pick up a toothpick for you when you push down on his head. There's a sewing machine needle glued into his beak that stabs a pick in the hollow "log."
The underside is embossed, "Morton Grove Products." At least I think that's what it says. It's a bit hard to make out the second word.
The paint on the log is worn off all the high points. The woodpecker still has almost all his color.
Do this animated woodpecker toothpick holder and picker-upper make you smile? See more photos on eBay.

FLOWER GARDEN CROCHET COVERLET Hand Made Afghan Throw! - (eBay item 310005435423 end time Dec-13-07 18:30:00 PST) This hand-made crochet coverlet has big white granny squares with a three-dimensional flower in each center and ombre yarn joins and border. It's 100% polyester yarn made by my friend who crochets about 60 mph. She usually makes coverlets from whatever yarn colors she has on hand. This blanket, large afghan or throw is shown on a single bed.
This one has a dainty picot edging on the colorful variegated yarn border of green, rose, white, tan and purple. The three-dimensional flowers stand up about an inch high and make the coverlet look like a garden or flower trellis. It's a sweet, homey item to warm up your decor and snuggle up in for a nap or TV watching.
This coverlet is made of polyester worsted-weight yarn and is machine washable.
Can you imagine this bit of hand-crocheted warmth in your home? See more photos on eBay.

1920s BISQUE DOLL IN PAPER DRESS Scant 7 In Arms Move! - (eBay item 310005405234 end time Dec-12-07 19:42:29 PST)
This vintage bisque doll is four inches tall from head to foot but stands almost seven inches tall because of her long, stiff gathered paper skirt or dress. She has very pale blonde painted hair with a painted blue bow, light brown brows, dark eyes and a dot of red on her mouth. Her upper back is marked, "Made in Japan."
Her movable arms are attached with wire. Her legs with socks and black painted shoes also move. She's none too clean, but I made no attempt to clean her, afraid of damaging her or her paper skirt.
Her skirt might be crepe paper and might have been green originally. It's been gathered with thread in two tiers and has four tiny pink paper flowers. It's stiff enough for her to stand upright even though her feet are far from the skirt bottom. The skirt/dress has two tiny straps which are also age-darkened.
We think this doll is probably from the 1920s as she came to us with another bisque doll that is definitely from the twenties.
Does this tiny old bisque doll make you smile? See more photos on eBay.
