charlie brown christmas is one of my all-time favorite albums! it wouldn't be christmas without it.

that being said, i guess we collect christmas albums at our house Grin we run the gamut from spike jones, to hawaiian slack-key guitar. it's kind of a joke with my teenager...

I wondered what, um, "artist" was responsible for that song! Is there anything decent on there?  I remember listening to "Cocktail Time" as a kid and finding it delightful.

I collect what appeals to me.  I wish I were more specific but I'm not.  I love linen souvineir towels from wherever, handmade pottery, old  dishes, bird thingies, especially parrots, old kitchen gadgets, old sewing and knitting /crochet notions, cookbooks, vintage fabrics, jewelry, plus whatever else seemed fun at the time.  I have some old toys, what looks like a wood collection plate from a church, silk scarves and some old paintings.

I always pass on the lucite grapes, but I do know that the glass ones go for lots of money...

I hardly every see Lucite or glass grapes in thrift stores. 24.99 would be very high for the lucite ones. On Ebay, they seem to sell for about that price(including shipping). I'm not willing to pay that price.
I have only found 1 bunch that I paid 4.99 for and then two smaller pieces with the grapes attached to drift wood for 3.99 each.

I live about an hour outside of Winchester, Va and I would recommend checking out the flea market at the intersection of routes 340 and 522.
