Kiss Me
Blogger friend Kapgar has been wanting to see my Chilly Willy collection. I thought starting with the Christmas ornaments and a snow globe would be a good place to start.
There were a series of these ornaments. I thought I had more than 2, but I guess not. Or perhaps the others got lost in the various moves I’ve done over the last 20 years.
Happy Holidays
You can’t see it from the front view, but the red hat round ball broke off sometime ago. You would think over the years sitting in the box for 11 months, these things would still be intact. But I guess maybe it got knocked off the tree and hit the floor.
the boxes for the above two ornaments
I really can’t recall when I got these. I want to say it’s been the better part of 20 years. There are no dates on the boxes. And they are worn from being taken in and out of the storage container they are kept in, even thought it’s only twice a year.
Snow Globe – Chilly
The snow globe was a good find. I believe I found this one at a Christmas gift shop. The front side shows Chilly Willy…
Snow Globe – Woody
….. and the back side shows Woody Woodpecker.
More Coming Soon
I have other Chilly Willy items that I’ve not posted out here before. Once I find them and take pictures, I will add another blog post.
Normally I post this kind of thing over on Banal Leakage, but I’m distracted with the ongoing project of posting my European Vacation daily updates from July. Playing catch up over there still.
So as part of that distraction, I found this on a few of my Facebook friend’s pages. Enjoy.
