Toivepostaus \/ Requested post<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Viimevuonna minulta toivottiin postausta vintage-joulukoristeista. Vintage-kokoelmani ei varsinaisesti ole kovin suuri, koska ostan k\u00e4ytettyn\u00e4 my\u00f6s uusia koristeita, enk\u00e4 koskaan halua maksaa mit\u00e4\u00e4n isoja summia edes hienoista koristeista. L\u00e4hinn\u00e4 olen ker\u00e4illyt pikkuhiljaa noita mit\u00e4 on sattunut tulemaan vastaan pikkurahalla. Ja kuten olen monesti aiemminkin maininnut, tykk\u00e4\u00e4n my\u00f6s paljon askarrella koristeita. Siksi niiden m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4 lis\u00e4\u00e4ntyy tasaisesti, vaikka vintagekoristeita ei l\u00f6ydyk\u00e4\u00e4n joka vuosi. Tykk\u00e4\u00e4n koristella teemoittain, joten kaikki koristeet eiv\u00e4t ole aina yht\u00e4aikaa k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Helpoimmin kirppiksilt\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyy erilaisia muovisia v\u00e4rikk\u00e4it\u00e4 palloja. Monet niist\u00e4 aivan modernia tuotantoa mutta vanhempiakin l\u00f6ydyy. Ns. heijastin-pallot ovat yleens\u00e4 vanhempaa tuotantoa. Niiss\u00e4 on keskell\u00e4 koristeellinen kuoppa jossa saattaa olla eri v\u00e4rej\u00e4. Itse ker\u00e4\u00e4n mieluiten ns, saumapalloja jotka ovat pehme\u00e4\u00e4 muovia. Niiss\u00e4 on usein lommoja mutta virheett\u00f6mi\u00e4kin l\u00f6ytyy. Saumapallot tunnistaa nimens\u00e4 mukaisesti selv\u00e4sti kohollaan olevasta saumasta joka syntyi kun pallonpuolikkaat pr\u00e4ss\u00e4ttiin yhteen. Saumapalloja valmistettiin 60-luvulla ja niist\u00e4 on paljon eri variaatioita. L\u00f6ytyy yksiv\u00e4risi\u00e4, l\u00e4pikuultavia, heijastimellisia (koristeellinen pr\u00e4ss\u00e4tty kuoppa pallossa)<\/span><\/strong>, kuvioituja jne. Joissakin on jopa punosnauhaa sis\u00e4ll\u00e4. Kovia muovipallojakin l\u00f6ytyy esim 70-luvun tuotantona. Glitter tai huurrekoristeisista palloista vanhat erottaa yleens\u00e4 glitterin laadusta ja kuvioista. Moderneissa voi olla melkein mit\u00e4 vain kuvioita, vanhoissa on perinteisempi\u00e4 kansanomaisia ornamentteja, t\u00e4hti\u00e4 tai ihan vain pallon pintaa pitkin valuvalta j\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4, huurteelta tai lumelta n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4 koristelua.\u00a0 My\u00f6s erilaisista pienist\u00e4 monimulmioista muodostuva pallon pinta yleens\u00e4 tarkoittaa v\u00e4h\u00e4n vanhempaa tuotantoa. En ole sellaisia kulmikaspintaisia palloja n\u00e4hnyt uustuotantona.<\/p>\n

Punosnauhoja l\u00f6ytyy my\u00f6s paljon jopa ihan avaamattomissa pakkauksissa. Itse en hirve\u00e4sti v\u00e4lit\u00e4 moniv\u00e4risisit\u00e4 punoksista, pid\u00e4n eniten perinteisest\u00e4 kullasta ja hopeasta. Siksi muut v\u00e4rit yleens\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4t kauppaan vaikka olisivat vanhojakin. T\u00e4n\u00e4 vuonna ostin paketin hopea-valkoista punosta avaamattomassa, luullakseni 80-luvun pakkauksessa. Perinteinen lametta eli tinsel ei ole en\u00e4\u00e4 nyky\u00e4\u00e4n yht\u00e4 suosittua mutta sit\u00e4 n\u00e4kee kirppisill\u00e4kin toisinaan. Se on suoraa ohutta hopean s\u00e4vyist\u00e4 nauhaa, jota ripustetaan sellaisenaan kuusen oksiin. Sen on tarkoitus muistuttaa oksista riippuvia j\u00e4\u00e4puikkoja. Voi siit\u00e4 toki askarrellakin. Alunperin lametta valmistettiin ohuenohueksi pr\u00e4ss\u00e4tyst\u00e4 hopeasta, my\u00f6hemmin halvemmasta tinasta, nyky\u00e4\u00e4n muovista.<\/p>\n

Aidosti vanhoihin vapaasti suupuhallettuihin lasikoristeisiin t\u00f6rm\u00e4\u00e4 harvemmin sill\u00e4 ne s\u00e4rkyv\u00e4t niin helposti. Itse l\u00f6ysin muutama vuosi sitten t\u00e4ydellisen setin vanhoja lasipalloja. Kaksi setin palloa on moniv\u00e4risi\u00e4 ja maalattuja. No setti ei ole en\u00e4\u00e4 t\u00e4ydellinen, mutta j\u00e4ljell\u00e4 olevat ovat sit\u00e4kin hurmaavampia. Suupuhalletut pallot erottaa konepuhalteisista pienemm\u00e4st\u00e4 kannasta. Lasikoristeita on my\u00f6s muottiinpuhallettuja ja ne erottaa pienest\u00e4 saumasta joka kulkee koristeen ymp\u00e4ri. Suosittuja malleja ovat linnut joilla on lasikuituiset pyrst\u00f6t, kuusenk\u00e4vyt, tammenterhot ja muut jouluiset figuurit. Ostin hiljattain kaksi lasista kuusta, mutta en osaa sanoa ovatko ne vanhoja vai uudempia. Ne p\u00e4\u00e4siv\u00e4t heti jo joulukakkua koristamaan, tosin kakku on jo sy\u00f6ty joten ehk\u00e4 keksin koristeille viel\u00e4 jotain muuta k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Paperisia koristeita l\u00f6ytyy vain harvoin. Ne repeytyv\u00e4t niin helposti ett\u00e4 ne on usein h\u00e4vitetty eik\u00e4 myyt\u00e4v\u00e4ksi juuri eksy mit\u00e4\u00e4n. Toisaalta paperisia koristeita on helppo tehd\u00e4 edullisesti my\u00f6s itse (palataan siihen my\u00f6hemmin). Yhden vanhan hunajakennopallon sent\u00e4\u00e4n olen onnistunut ostamaan joskus. Muistan n\u00e4m\u00e4 kattoon ripustettavat hunajakennokoristeet lapsuudesta. Olikohan meill\u00e4 punainen joulukellon muotoinen, vai oliko se jossain sukulaisella tai naapurissa. En ole varma.<\/p>\n

Haaveilen viel\u00e4 l\u00f6yt\u00e4v\u00e4ni lis\u00e4\u00e4 vanhoja lasikoristeita. Lasilintuja en ole l\u00f6yt\u00e4nyt viel\u00e4 kertaakaan, niist\u00e4 haaveilen erityisesti. Samoin Weisteen piippurassitontuista sek\u00e4 vastapainollisista kynttil\u00e4pidikkeist\u00e4. Ja heijastinpallot tietysti olisivat my\u00f6s kiva l\u00f6yt\u00f6, etenkin lasisina. T\u00e4n\u00e4 vuonna olin ajatellut valita koristelun teemaksi valkoinen ja hopea, mutta saapa n\u00e4hd\u00e4. Saatan askarrella viel\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4puikkoja sill\u00e4 minulla on tuolla pieni paketti vanhaa Weisteen hopealankaa odottamassa. Is\u00e4nt\u00e4 kuitenkin haluaa taas laittaa kuuseen kaikkea mahdollista. Tottahan on ett\u00e4 joulun ollessa kyseess\u00e4, enemm\u00e4n on enemm\u00e4n.<\/p>\n

Last\u00a0 year I got a request on vintage Christmas decoration. My vintage collection is not that large, because I buy also modern decorations second hand, and I don’t really want to pay too much. I am just slowly gathering cheap vintage what I can find. And like I have mentioned many times before, I also love to make myself new decorations. That’s why the overall collection is expanding steadily, even though vintage decorations are not found every year. I love using themes on my decorations, so I don’t use all at the same time.<\/p>\n

The easiest to find on flea markets are colourful plastic balls. Many of them are modern, but older can be found too. So called reflecting balls are usually older production. They have sort of pressed, decorative dent in the middle, which can have different colours in it. I like to collect seam balls, which are made of soft plastic. They get dented easily, but good condition can be found too. Seam balls are easy to identify, because they have, as the name is giving out, quite prominent seam going around the ball. That was created when the ball halves were pressed together. Seam balls were made in 60’s and there are lots of variations on them. There are all sorts of colours, seethrough, reflective ones (with the decorative dent)<\/strong><\/span>, painted etc. Some even have tinsel inside. Hard plastic balls can also be found in vintge. Glitter or frost decorated balls you can date by the figures in them. Modern have rather modern variety of figures, but old ones have more traditional, simple pictures like stars or folkloristic ornaments. Or just something that looks like show, ice or frost on the ball. Usually also sort of faceted balls are old, I haven’t seen them in modern production yet.<\/p>\n

Tinsel and garlands can be found even in unopened packages. I’m not really into colourfull garlands, I prefer silver and gold. That’s why I tend to leave other colours to the shop, even if they are old. This year I bought one unopened package of silver and white garland, I think it’s from early 80’s. Traditional Lametta or tinsel is not so popular anymore, but even that can be found in flea markets sometimes. It is straight, very fine silver string, which is hanged on the tree as it is. It’s supposed to look like icicles. Of course it can also be used to make your own decoration. Originally Lametta was made of very fine silver, later from tin foil and now of plastic.<\/p>\n

You don’t really see genuine blown glass baubles very often, because they are so fragile. I managed to find full set of them couple years back. Two baubles on the set were multicoloured and painted. Well, that set is not full anymore, but those left are quite charming. Mouth blown are different to machine made, they have smaller stem. There are also glass decoration which are made into a mold. Those you can identify from a visible seam on the surface. Most popular figurines are birds with glass fiber tails, pine cones, acorns and other Christmassy images. I recently bought two glass trees, but I can’t really tell if they are old or new. I already used them on the Christmas cake, but cake is now eaten so I might figure out some other use for them.<\/p>\n

Paper decorations are not easy to find. They are so fragile that most often they are just thrown away not there is not much of a chance anyone selling them. On the other hand paper decoration is very easy to make affordably yourself (I will talk about that later). One honeycomb ball I have managed to find quite some time ago. I remember these paper decorations from my childhood. They were huge and were hanging from the ceiling. I think we might have had red Christmas bell shaped one at home. Or perhaps it was at relatives place. I’m not sure.<\/p>\n

I dream of finding more old glass baubles. I haven’t found any glass birds yet, so I especially dream about those. Also Weiste\u00a0 pipecleaner Christmas elves are on my wishlist and pendulum candle holders too.\u00a0 It would also be lovely to find reflective baubles, especially in glass. I was thinking that this year the theme would be white and silver, but we will see. I might make silver icicles for the tree because I have one package of vintage Weiste silver thread waiting to be used. Hubby might want to put all sorts of stuff on it. It is true after all that when it comes to Christmas, more is more.<\/p>\n
