HI-HO, HI-HO

It's Vintage Thingies Thursday with our hostess Suzanne from ColoradoLady, yee haw! I have something small and cute that didn't come from my parents' house.  It came from my friend Mary's parents' house! hehehe She has been helping her father clean things out and came across these cute little fellows. She thought they were something I'd like, and of course she was right. They are really sturdy, unlike most of the cupcake toppers I have seen. The plastic isn't painted, so they are the same on both sides. Mary thought they might be Christmas elves, which is why she gave them to me at Christmas. I think they look more like the dwarves from Snow White, marching off to their day in the mines. I can just see a table with seven cupcakes lined up, and a bigger Snow White cake following them, can't you?
For more vintage goodies visit Suzanne @ ColoradoLady and the other participants in Vintage Thingies Thursday.

  1. That would be cool if you had a whole procession of cupcakes topped by dwarfs.

  6. I agree with Snow White's dwarfs although the 2nd one kind of reminds me of Mr. Magoo! Do you remember him?

  8. I agree with you Elizabeth, they've got to be dwarfs from Snow White. They're so cute, and wouldn't it be wonderful to have all seven? The other five have got to be out there somewhere!
    Happy VTT!

    Your friend Mary and you have a lot in common; you both like searching for treasures in basements ;0

  11. Those 'Dwarfs' are so neat! I've never seen cupcake toppers like them before. What a nice gift! I too think they look like the Snow White dwarfs. Wouldn't it be fun to find the rest! This is my first VTT and I've enjoyed your post as well as the comments you have left on the other VTT participants. I hope you'll stop by and see my Head Vases.

  12. I thought that I was the only one who saved cake decoratives like this. I have a couple of ziplock bags full. I always intended to reuse them on a homemade cake, but never have.

    I don't have any like these, though; they're cute.

    PS. I took the the Jung personality type test and I am an idealist. Darn! I wanted to be a mad scientist.

  24. Very cute. and yes they do look like snow whites little friends.... Can you name them all? It was a game my Dad used to play with us. That and can you name all of Santa's reindeer? I guess those "memory" games helped us when it came to remembering people's names later on as we grew to be adults.

  25. We actually had a set almost like these 0 they were candle holders for those small candles you put on a birthday cake. They kept the candle wax from dripping on the cake and provided the cake decoration at the same time.

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
