Bring Nostalgic Charm to Your Holiday Decor
Add a touch of retro warmth to your holiday setup with this authentic 1980s vintage wooden Christmas train. Crafted with clean classic lettering spelling out "JOY," this four-piece wooden train features a bright red engine followed by three letter cars finished with festive holly berry detailing along the tracks.
✨ THE "FLAT-TOP" ADVANTAGE:
Unlike the common candle-holder versions of this train, this is the highly sought-after "flat-top" display model. It features no candle holes or wells, meaning:
- Completely clean lines with NO ugly , burnt wax residue.
- 100% safe for homes with curious pets or toddlers (no open flame needed!).
- Perfectly flat tops that look sleek and modern on a shelf.
Whether set along a fireplace mantel, styled inside an entry buffet display, or placed as a centerpiece surrounded by bottle brush trees and glass jars, this piece delivers the exact cozy, cheerful aesthetic that makes vintage holiday decor so timeless.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I place a custom order?
Absolutely! I love creating bespoke pieces tailored to your specific style. Whether you want a custom color palette for a home decor item or a specific theme for an entire classroom number of clipboards please send me a message. Custom orders typically have a two-week lead time to allow for the resin curing process, depending on the size of the project.
Why are there small bubbles or "spots" in my piece?
Because every item is handcrafted and hand-poured, minor "perfect imperfections" such as tiny bubbles or slight surface variations can occur. These aren't flaws; they are the fingerprints of the handmade process and proof that your piece is a one-of-a-kind art object.
What happens if my item arrives damaged?
While I pack every order with extreme care (we want it to arrive like a "guest of honor"), accidents can happen during shipping, especially during the colder months. Please contact me within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the packaging and the item, and I will work with you to make it right.
Is your resin food safe?
Our decorative trays and plates are intended for display, packaged or "dry food" use or for desserts. To maintain the high-gloss finish, we do not recommend using them for hot meals or as hard cutting surfaces.
Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing?
Yes! If you are a boutique owner or looking for a large quantity for an event, please reach out via Etsy Messages for a custom quote.
