Pam Kueber - Updated: August 18, 2021

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Reader Erika says she’s made all of our mini mid mod putz house patterns. Super impressive – this photos will make Katiedoodle super happy. Hey. I’m having lotsa guests on Turkey Day. I think I will cut out a lot of the patterns ahead of time (darn, wish I had a crickut!) and we’ll do this as an activity while we’re cocktailing. 

Oh, did I mention that Erika has it GOING ON. Above: Here amazing flamingo collection. And, she’s made vintage ornie wreaths, too. I want to be your best friend, Erika!

    Anyone else notice that all the flamingos have on little Santa hats!! Very cute! Beautiful way to display your treasures.

      Yes, I noticed, and I’m sure Sarah made them to fit each flamingo! I’m sure if I had them my cats would make short work of the whole flock, knocking them off the shelves and batting them around the house (like some of my Shiny Brite ornaments in past years).

    Love the putz houses Kate designed. I know Kate’s busy with her own life but I feel like we need a RR reunion show for Christmas. ????

    Love the putz houses, but those flamingos! I have a smaller collection of similar ones. I’m always on the lookout for the vintage ones with that kind of coloration.

      I love those flamingos. If one was looking to start collecting them, do you have any suggestions as to what we should look for? Thank you.

    Nice built-in bookcases and very nice holiday display with the putz houses and orni wreaths. The December Country magazine has a page of DIY wreaths and one of them is attaching vintage ornaments to a frame. Thanks for sharing; helps to put one into holiday mode.
