3D Cuties - 3


Here's the third of my lenticular postcard. This cute little Santa's helper parachutes down to a roof among the falling snow. What an adorable site to see as real-life snowstorms are being reported acorss the USA this morning.

Origami Cutie



This origami snowman was somebody's labor of love... he is made of over 400 individual pieces of paper and, most of all, positively adorable. I think he should be a mascot of Cutemaskah, don't you? Hello There Cutie Snow Man!!! xxxo

1930s Cutie



In honor of the last pm of Hanukkah, we present this cutie lighting her menorah. It's a postcard printed in the 1930s, and illustrated by Annie Bergman. This little gal is being so careful with her matches and has such an intent expression on her face... a v. serious cutie is she! If we told her about Cutemaskah, might it make her smile a wee bit? xxxo

3D Cuties - 2


This cute kitty is after something in that Christmas tree, I just hope he doesn't knock the whole tree down!

3D Cuties - 1

Lenticular printing is a technology in which a lenticular lens is used to produce images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles. This process creates the illusion of 3-dimensional imagery. I have a collection of vintage Lenticular postcards, here is the first one:

This charming winter scene is both beautiful and sweet, as we witness a deer family frolicking in the snow before a gorgeous, but minimally decorated Christmas tree.

Kawaii Cutemaskah Cutie



Tenshi Neko means “Angel Kitten” in Japanese, and she is totally Kawaii (which means cutie!). Here Tenshi Neko is on a coin purse in her Cutemaskah holiday dress and tiara. It looks like her magic wand (or is it a scepter?) has fallen into the snow... I hope one of her friends is there to help. Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo

Un-Bearably Cutie



I don't know why, but this vintage (flocked!!!) bear holiday card feels very Hawaiian to me. Could be how she's strummin her guitar, or how the holly reminds me of a flower behind the ear. Either way, she's a major cutie that woulda made this little girl happy to find in her post box! xxxo

Vespa Claus - Cute!


This vintage plastic toy has a slightly Italian twist as jolly St. Nick rides his smashing blue Vespa through the streets of 1960s Rome.

Cute Chanukkah Cat


speechless.

Singing Cuties



These cuties from the late 1960s are singing a holiday tune or three for your pleasure. In their robes, it makes me wonder if they ended up joining Polyphonic Spree... how cool would that be? Hello There Cutie Singers! xxxo

Shmutz the Cutie Octopus


On the fourth night of Hanukkah, my true love gave to me...Shmutz!

Ho Ho Cute


This vintage plastic Santa waves hello on this crisp Autumn morning.

Vintage Hanukkah Cuties



This is the cover from a 1954 Hanukhah Activity Fun Book. Judy & Dave are very Sherri & Doug, so we had to include these Hanukkah cuties. We sure hope the menorah doesn't fall on top of them tho. Hello There Cutemaskah Cuties! xxxo

Cute on a Chimney


Santa must be freezing his tuchus off cause he's sitting on a cold and icy chimney. Hey Kris Kringle, you'd be warmer if you climbed down that chimney, I'm just saying.

Meshugeneh, But Cute


"Meshugeneh" is the Yiddish word for "crazy"...but this cute monkey doesn't look any more insane than your average simian. What a great gift he would make on one of the remaining nights of Hanukkah!

Shake Your Cutie



These vintage Snow-man and Snow-woman salt and pepper shakers sure make me want to shake-shake-shake. Their big sweet eyes (with lashes that go on for miles) and shy expressions seem to be wishing us all a Happy Cutemaskah! Hello There Cuties!!! xxxo

Cute & Blue-ish


I wish someone had this cutie bear to hug as the festival of lights continues. I send this out to someone special on this rainy California morning.
