I absolutely love vintage Christmas houses ... and have collected them for years. It wasn't until last year that I realized I was drawn to those made by Cody Foster. Now that I have narrowed that down I am watching and making a wish list of those I love. Each year they are different, but with some careful watching on eBay I have found that you can purchase some from years past. There is something about a Cody Foster house, they have such darling details and the pink ones are by far the best. I snagged two this year from Lucy's Market and I am completely in love with them. I chose Santa's House and the Snow Angel Cottage House. I have my eye on one more (ok, two) ... but it is Christmas and I have to leave a few things on the wish list. 😉
Last year I filled the mantle with the houses, and added a bunch of tinsel trees around them. One year I added them to the dining room table and added snow. This year they found a home in the bookcases, and I plan to light them on Christmas Eve for even more charm. I really think the Cody Foster houses are the best, the details just really stick out for me. I also grabbed two different maker houses last year and then had to add wreaths and trees to give them extra charm, that is when I decided that Cody Foster houses are my favorites.
This green house on the bottom left is one I added wreaths to ... along with the present sitting on the bicycle. I felt it needed some extra love. By the time I added all with the work I was thinking it would have been better to grab the ones I really wanted. 💗
Do you see how darling? I have six of the ones I love now ... and I really enjoy them all month. I have one on my wish list, and have gathered all of them I could find for you to see. In my humble opinion, Cody Foster houses are just the best!
Happy Monday ... 🏡🎄
