Cardboard Christmas

Howdy all!

I was finally able to pull out every putz house I own up till now. I currently have 170 (plus 10 that are not shown that are in bad need of a rebuild). Our family move 2 weeks ago into a much bigger place and I have my very own "putzing room" now! After I get it all set up, I will take a photo of that as well. Enjoy!...

P.S. I will divide these houses up later and put them in the respective "genres" so you all can get get a better l@@k at them...
(BTW: the top left houses in the window were owned by our beloved "Papa Ted") I will always cherish those especially!

Cheers!

It's fun to see them all. You have your work cut out for you categorizing them all. I too have a couple of Ted's houses that I enjoy.

Nice to see a big collection.

How many of those are homemade?

A whole putz room, how nice! Are you going to have shelves on the wall for display. Or cabinets full of supplies - that is my dream.

The collection is lovely. I am jealous about the Papa Ted houses. He did so much to keep the history and art of these little houses alive.

May your collection continue to grow and bring you joy.

Very Nice Collection!!

Thanks all for your posts. My collection is by no means a large one, but I do enjoy them. I would say 1/2 of them are in bad need of a restoration. Answer to Steve: None are homemade, these are all vintage originals sir. Yes Lucy, I will have shelves to display them all in time. I'm working on getting everything organized now. I also want to make my own little "faux feather" German Xmas tree that Howard posted here to hang my Japanese ornies as well. Finally, I would like to say that I will continue to collect as funds allow, but I think I'll stick to the coco's and haciendas from now on. This will be my small, but heartfelt legacy I will leave to my 2 little boys. I hope they will go down through our family as long as Christmas exists...

Love it!
