Oh, my. The icicles bring back so many memories of putting them on our tree every year as a kid in the 60's. So fun! That dress looks like my late mother in laws wedding dress with the buttons and satin. I wore it at my wedding in 1984, she was married around 1948 or so.

[@WarHoss]

I think the fan had fencing made to protect little fingers from hitting the blades, still a cool fan

[@sand3882]

Or maybe cat paws...lol.

[@bonnieikamas1201]

I adore your youthful enthusiasm!!! You are taking me back… grateful!!!🥰

[@PaperandMoose]

I'm so glad!

[@rethahorne3653]

So very true! Today's products can't hold a candle to old goods, neither quality nor graphics! Amazing finds! Blessings!

[@rethahorne3653]

Your excitement is palpable! Watching you unbox, it is almost as if the "layers" of what you are discovering represent each stage of her/their adult lives as they moved up in financial stability/wealth, moved houses, etc.. Saving the favorite cups from when they moved rather than throwing them away, the addition of new lights for the tree and house each year, and so on. So fun to watch!

[@cindymccandlish]

Oh, Renee, I just love watching you. You are an old soul. A tender, old soul. It is such a pleasure to watch you discover the things you appreciate and love to collect. I started to cry when you started to cry. So much amazing vintage Christmas in there!! Some of which appeared to be unused, or methodically returned to its packaging with loving care. I too have never seen that small aluminum tree with the red balls and candles - I hope you are able to follow up with more info on that piece and it’s value. I’m so happy for you to be literally “living the dream”, as Taco Stacks says. 😉 Enjoy what you are doing and keep being you. ❤️

[@yoursecondhandrosesebay7851]

Your childlike excitement is so joyful. It can be felt though your lens! Love that about you.

[@christinavallem5669]

Renee, you looked so happy. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Merry Vintage Christmas Renee! Oh my gosh, if you keep the last tree please take a picture of it working and post it on your Instagram. I would love to see it in its full glory 🥰 You're so right those boxes were gorgeous and will make such great display pieces.

[@carlaanderson3905]

All the vintage Christmas brings back so many memories from when I was a kid and the tinsel was my favorite thing to do on the tree.

[@verettejones9510]

Hello Renee. And just when I thought you couldn’t amaze me with anything else you do. That light at the end was gorgeous. I love it. It’s like stepping back in time just so many wonderful memories and vintage Christmas decorations and it’s so beautiful. It just takes your breath away. It’s all just beautiful Renee. Wow. Take care. 🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🥰🥰🥰☕️🫖☕️🫖💯💯💯💯

[@PaperandMoose]

I’m so glad that you enjoy the videos!

[@elizabethfrederick2434]

I do enjoy your tri[s through memory lane.

[@fayekarshner5562]

I felt like that was a wedding dress. I thought I saw pearl buttons. Could this have been the owner's special memory box? Two saved random cups that may have meant something to her. So glad you are sorting and respecting articles that you find. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!

[@gaylehill849]

I thought wedding dress too, Faye!

[@loril.mangold8160]

Yeah before plastic buttons all buttons were made either from Mother of pearl shells, or metal, of cloth covered metal

[@joysbaking]

Oh my goodness I was screaming..... What ....holy cow....I can't get over your finds in this amazing home. Oh how I would love to meet these ladies when they were decorating their home for Christmas. Can you just imagine the party's they had ! Oh if those walls could talk . Honey I would love to see the outside too. Wouldn't it be a dream to own a house like that.

[@lesliegibbs6296]

This series has just been fabulous. Love all the great stuff.

[@PaperandMoose]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Buzz1151]

Fun to see Miss Moose get so excited by icicle boxes.😁😁😁

[@PaperandMoose]

It doesn’t take much haha!

[@vaca4643]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!! The graphics on those boxes are wonderful.... Love the the tinsel box with Santa looking in the window......That chandelier is GREAT! I can stop watching you looking for treasure....SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lisaerenwert1953]

These two Houses are going to be hard to top!!! It is amazing what excellent shape all the things are in!!! Also how clean these houses are in for not being touched in so long!

[@retasmith409]

Loved this vintage Christmas episode ❤️❤️

[@pauper177]

you are an old soul Miss Moose !!!!!!! I'm loving this clean out

[@donnamach925]

Seeing the joy on your face as you discovered the vintage christmas made me happy!

[@alanbirkner1958]

You inspired me to sell a few things I hadn't used in over 20(twenty) years. None of my kids or DIL's would want them. Thanks. Tina, Al's wife

[@yolandachavez3435]

I enjoyed seeing the boxes of colored Christmas lights, and the boxes of icycles. Awesome exploring.

[@misslannie73]

Your smile made me smile. So today is a good day xx

[@fareast_de]

Very nice finds of vintage Christmas items in the attic, some of them have never been used. It´s always a pleasure to see your authentic "collector´s smile" when you find new pieces for your personal collection . Keep up your great job, Renée ! Greets from GER, U.

[@christinetarquin3773]

Wonderful finds. Yes, I felt the same way looking at the boxes of art work. My dad was an advertising artist. Not only that, but the boxes, bulbs, lights & tinsel bring back the same emotions of surprise and love of the memories our family made decorating the tree. We also made sure the tinsel was put back neatly in the box for next year and the string of lights was positioned correctly in their box so the lid could be closed.

[@sharon7580]

Omgosh! So many wonderful finds! Christmas lights, ice cycles, tree balls, aluminum tree! Wow oh wow! 🤗❣️👍🎄🌸

[@beverleymangan1740]

The condition of this stuff is amazing. I've never seen anything like that big lamp.

[@darlalitteral5151]

I love your enthusiasm when you find a gem. Your face just lights up and you become Shiny Bright (pun intended). Never loose the love and excitement. Hope you find more vintage Christmas and holiday goodies.🙏❤️

[@LavishHim]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you are a respecter of the past, Renee. And feeding my memories! Thanks!

[@kathylantz137]

This series of videos has been, by far, my favorite ones that you have put on KZbin. I just love all of the vintage Christmas and other items that bring back so many memories. I'll be sad when your treasure hunt comes to an end in these houses but I will cherish them and watch more than one, I'm sure. I always did a lot of decorating in my younger days and this has been so much fun. Thank you for sharing these treasures with us. They all may not be high dollar items but they are more valuable than gold in my eyes!

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for watching! I can only hope that the future will bring even more great cleanouts!

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Renee. OMyGod! I can not believe you found some vintage Christmas lights. All that stuff in the attic and the yellow dress was awesome. God Bless you Renee and I want to see more. Take care. Maria. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😇😇😇😇👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@phyllisstrider2998]

I would lose my mind with all that vintage Christmas. The dress was probable a prom or bridesmaid dress. Especially with the gloves with it. Again I hope you get to take all the things you want. You deserve it. What a fun dig.

[@TheTravelingCrafter]

Oh my gosh! I am drooling over all the vintage Christmas. You truly hit the motherload!!!

[@sarahthebeau8851]

These ladies loved Christmas. The ornaments and treasures were taken such good care of. I remember as a child even the tinsel would be carefully removed from the tree and saved back in its box from year to year. A lot of nostalgia happening here in these videos. Thank you.

[@lindawilliams5478]

That’s my childhood Christmas in that attic. Love seeing it again, so many memories.

[@sharonnowlin2297]

WOW, Renee ... those vintage Christmas Treasures have been waiting for years for RENEE to finally come and discover them. They knew you would be the PERFECT person to know the value of the vintage Christmas in their original boxes!! You are such a REAL treasure, showing the wonderful expression on your face with each and every find!! NEVER lose the joy that fills fills you! And THANKS AGAIN for sharing with this OLD Woman who can NO longer out and enjoy the world, so I live through you!!!

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you Sharon! The Christmas items were such a fun find for me!

[@larkdavis6041]

Renée, I just love to see your smile/expression when you discover another goodie😊 The last silver tabletop tree is fantastic!!!! Can't wait for the next video!!!!

[@raneemilliman7130]

So many great items. That "light" at the end was unlike anything I have ever seen. Would love to see the dress a bit closer. It must have been very special to someone once upon a time.

[@cathylaurel5237]

I totally agree with you that things today are not packaged as adorable! Love all your treasures!

[@papabear2515]

Wow! Good for you! The Shiny Brite Cluster … a true vintage find! We actually found one (in pink and red) - after-Christmas clearance (!) at a local thrift store for $1.00 a few years ago!!! We had never seen one like it. We had no room for it as we live very “tiny” so we sold it on eBay for $120! Packing it to ship it was a challenge ….but it arrived safe and sound across the country! We never seen another Cluster until now! They are quite rare! Enjoy all your finds! Kathleen

[@maggie5736]

Loved loved this episode! I collect vintage Christmas too. That Christmas chandelier gave me goose bumps. I’ve never seen one before. I’ve been collecting things that were popular when I was a kid. I’m vintage too. I loved the handmade sequin ornaments, then I thought they were tacky and now I’m collecting them. They reflect the light and I like sparkle. I hated aluminum trees when I was a kid. They were minimally decorated. All blue, all red or all silver which looked nice with the rotating color wheel. We used one last year and it was fun. I used some of the plastic ornaments that were popular in the 50’s and 60’s. Again tacky several years ago and fun now. Only problem now is that my house is too small!

[@lindalander7445]

Renee I so love your excitement when you open the boxes

[@justynejaniszewski4626]

Wow so many great vintage Christmas decorations. That MiroStar tree at the end is much more kitch than most of the other things. Made in Paterson NJ. I believe the metallic fishnet material was a waste product from stamping out sequins or something. I’m loving this series of videos.

[@charityhostetter8123]

What a fun job to have!!! Everyday a new adventure!!! Those boxes are lovely!!!

[@deborahfogel3689]

Loved this! Oh my what treasures! I'm so glad you can keep some. Hope you can afford to keep all you want. Love you! ❤️😘💞💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞🌞✌️👶

[@douggrimes1549]

Great finds Renee! I knew the last one was a Mirostar tree box when you showed it in the first video! I've been dying to know if it was still in the box. It was! Mirostar is known for the gaudy over the top adornments to their Christmas lighting fixtures. They made many different styles/sizes over the years. They tend to bring good money especially in good condition. As long as the wires aren't frayed, brittle, or cracked they should be fine to use. BUT, use a table top dimmer switch cord with all vintage lighting. When you dim them they don't get as hot and will be much safer as well as the bulbs will last longer. I bought mine on Amazon. Great find!!!!

[@samanthab1923]

Great idea with the lights. My Dad was a great lover of Christmas. Continued to buy new lights & decorations every year. Was on vacation with my mom in Bermuda & bought Lladro nativity set! But they weren’t all winners. There was a particularly tacky set of poinsettia lights.

[@sandikucia1398]

It's great that you have such passion for the past Christmas decorations. We all have a passion for different things and it's wonderful you find joy in it..... thank you for sharing your passion for the past....

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

For me , Its not how valuable these items are , it is the look on your face , and the tone of your voice that makes me smile . Merry Christmas.

[@carolynking8150]

"And then there was light", and then there were lots of lights; new ones! And lots of Shiny Brights! And of course the wonderful boxes! Holy cow! What a treasure trove!

[@davidball3081]

Amazing! Throw back to when I was growing up and saw similar items at my granny's home..... makes me want to cry! Awesome! Another great Christmas adventure. 🎅

[@PaperandMoose]

It was fun going through everything!

[@pamelamilligan9055]

Renee', how fantastic!!! I would be in tears also finding all that yummy vintage goodness!

[@darstill2195]

Wow, the collection she had! I liked the Holly Lites box. I've never seen that. The chandelier thing is just over the top! Never seen that Rene, and I'm old! LOL!😜

Don’t you worry, Renee…… LOT’S OF US GET IT. Emotions coming out every time you bring out a beauty of vintage Christmas memories. The last item is amazing!! Please update us on what that tree/light/ chandelier 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ was. I’ve NEVER seen that last item either BUT IT’S SPECTACULAR!! Great work & wonderful finds! 👍🤗🤗👍🌲🌲❤️

Wow! My Folks decorated the outside of our home in those lights...all blue, our house looked the best...my opinion. Love these videos taking me back in time!👍😊

I get it Ranae, nothing like vintage Christmas. I love your child like enthusiasm when you open those boxes.

[@Sassy1863]

Some beautiful Christmas things! I love your excited laugh! I always know something really good is coming! lol

[@kimberlyharding8057]

my goodness I am sooo happy to see the Murphys mart bag. I loved shopping there when I was younger. If you plan to sell the plastic bag I would love to have it if you would be willing to part with it. Thank you for all you do, saving such wonderful treasures and sharing them in your videos with us!

[@localsouptalks]

Christmas in February! It was nice to see all this fabulous vintage Christmas. Thank you! :)

[@NoblevilleCats]

OH, MY GOSH-I was salivating as I was watching you find all that AWESOME Christmas, still unused in the original boxes! What a find, and I hope you KEEP that wonderful tree, never seen one like that! SO SO much fun!

[@DonVDBorgh]

The fan: I've got a fan very much like the one you found. The square screen is something they had installed to stop things (fingers) from hitting the fan blade. I think your correct in they many of those ornaments were never out of the box. What a great corner of Christmas 🎅🎄. Some super duper items! 👍👍

[@helenbailey8419]

Oh Renee this is wonderful,so glad for you.It is wonderful to see American made products.

[@lizshea67]

Wow, those Christmas box, and the hanging fixture, never seen anything like that before. Loved what was probably her wedding dress in the box.

This was such fun! I still have a big grin on my face after watching you open all the Christmas boxes.

[@jerisherfy507]

Such wonderful vintage Christmas finds! 🤗 I love the boxes like you do. Your passion for it comes through with so much honesty. Your reactions are just real. That's probably what I love about you the most. How real you are. I don't want these houses to end! Such a treat to find these time capsules especially as clean as they are. Looking forward to the next video and then I'm going to watch this whole series again!!!! 🥰

[@karenhamilton2062]

Looks like she decorated with red, white and blue ornaments! Love it!

Every time I see those old Christmas ornament and light boxes I try to imagine what it must have been like to walk through the local drug store or Woolworth's or whatever and see those things on the shelves.

Your face Renee always makes me smile when you pull those faces you look full of excitement & I think it’s great that you love vintage Christmas because so do I. I was born in the sixties my wish is to go back in time i had great parents & we had great times not only at Christmas all year round,so you girl enjoy what you love xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@omgoodnessitsvintage431]

What an amazing video of wonderful vintage treasures! Thanks for sharing...

[@lynnmaupin-simpson1215]

They didn't lie about bulbs burning independently. They are wired in series or parallel circuits. You look it up. Next time you look in a box you can tell what you are looking at. I learned this in JR High electrocuting hot dogs for a Science Fair! That chandelier is to die for!!

[@oyet72863]

Merry Christmas Renee , I am sitting hee with tears running down my face of all the memories of I as a child at Gram,s house, my dad and Gram were Christmas in every room of the house, even the bathroom . the trees from the last box as always on the piano with angels sitting around it and a small star on the top. Magical for sure , thanks for all the memories hugs

I loved eatchingbyhr rxpreddion on your face as you opened up the boxes. You reminded me of a child opening presents on Christmas morning

[@sand3882]

Wow! You and I were just talking about my grandparents' aluminum tabletop tree. When you opened that first tree box and I saw the branches in those brown paper sleeves, it came flooding back. I suggest if you keep one, you keep one like that. My grandma and grandpa had theirs on a small round table in the living room...over by the TV. I would set up the tree and then put their little paper village and people below. The name escapes me now, but you found some houses just like them a few videos ago. Great video...next, please!

I feel like that was a cliffhanger -- because now I really want to see that last candle/light that you found lit up! That really was a special find.

[@Vintagerous]

The condition!!! I can't get over how well preserved the things are...they obviously either bought a lot and didn't use it or just took very good care of their things...such a great score!
