Friday Vintage Thrifting - Found a Few Miscellanous Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 
Today, I'm so excited to share my thrifting haul today.
Unfortunely the thrift store was pretty bare on this trip, but I did find a few Micellanous Treasures.

This first item was $1.50 and I thought it might make a fun game with Grandkids. Sending decodable letter to them
***
I've been collecting play dishes for my 3 year old grandson and these little tin pots will be added to the box. Each pot was 25 cent.
***
Once again I found a few more cookie cutters, I really have a hard time passing these items, @10 cent each.
***
I did pick up two hard back books for $1.00 each
***
Tree wrap bundle I thought I would craft with it,
 however taking some time to think about it I could use this wrap on the corn in the garden to ward-off earwigs. I'll let you know if it works.
***
Lastly, I found two Eggshell colored Homer Laughlin 'Creme" Dessert plates with the embossed fruit rim for $1.00 for the pair.
***
 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week. 
***
 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home.

 So until my next post......

Getting Out The Vintage Easter Decor - Sharing a Few New Treasures



Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 
Today, I'm so excited to share a few new treasures to add to my vintage Easter Decor this year.
***
This trio are new find, adorable ceramic duck, a cute bunnie candle and a super sweet vintage wooden bunnies ornament.
***
I really love the vintage paper-mache duck, he's losing a little paint, but that' okay his adorable.
***
These two cuties I found in a Christmas ornament bag from my local thrift store in December.

Made in Japan I'm guessing 50-60's time frame
***

Last April I ran accross this very nice ceramic Bunnie Basket

***
I think you know by now I love finding vintage cookie cutters.
***

I was very thrilled to find a bag of wooden Easter ornaments, along with a white wire tree.





***
The super sweet chicks with a basket is an item I have watched for a few weeks now, because of the price of $12.00, I thought that was a steep price.
One 1/2 off Tuesday I was visiting my local thrift store and this cuties had been priced down to $6.00, so I purchased this cutie for $3.00.

***

This Pin-Tucked Egg Ornament, was another find in December in a bag of Christmas ornaments

Spring Has Sprung - Vintage Inspired Vignettes - Entry Room Hutch





Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, Spring has sprung in my entry-room, I have added a few Spring touches and moved around a few pieces until, the vignettes fit my vison. 

My vision this Spring was inspired by bird prints  adding touches of Lavendar and of course spots of green.

I have added thrifted pip-berry stems to this vignette and a few more prints from The Graphic Fairy 
***
a new find is the Pastoral Taylor Smith Taylor, salad plate with the pattern "Plowing the Field"
I brought out a Hand Painted Decorative Plate stamped Germany, that I found thrifting last March.

Really, cute bird print is from The Graphic Fairy

'The Blue Bird print is a vintage Donald 
Company  Litro-graghic from the 1960,' 
 
In this vignette I added a Kemple Hobstar Milk Glass Dish with a little bird figure and a pieces of McCoy Pottery, and the pretty little green MDC Anchor Hocking Bud Vase with lavendar florals.
***
I did leave my Green Tackle Box and added some more bird prints.



I filled the adorable McCoy Brown Drip Pitcher with a clump of lavendar flower picks and added a cute DIY Flower Bulbs to a smal terra-cotta pot.


I printed out this lovely Black and White Bird Prints



I really think using the vintage milk glass wedding compote, looks nice with a Handmade Bird Neststhat I made with my granddaughter a few years back.
The yellow Nelson Easy Spray water nozzle is a new find, looks nice displayed in the tackle box.
***
This shelf I left the vintage scale, brought in a splash of Spring Pip-Berries and Lavendar Florals


here is another Donald Art Company Litro-Graph, I thrifted last Summer at a yard sale for a $1.00, I believe.





The vintage scale I was gifted from my Mom. I made a little simple nest from a small grapevine wreath and added a few Robin Blue eggs, so cute


***

Another new find this month, is a green Chinese Take-Out Purse, ( it's covered in fabric inside and out.  I like the colors of the Ceramic Hen Figure next to the green take-out purse and the Vintage Milk Glass Cup, up filled with Vintage Aluminum Cookie Cutters.



This wonderful Robin Print also came from The Graphic Fairy
I brought in a Small Footed Copper Piece with a handmade nest and a small light blue egg. I think copper is a nice touch with the green.

I stuck in Green Eucalyptus Branches and a Spool of Green Darning Thread here and there to add interest.
***
I think the milk glass pieces lighten up this shelf, in the small crock I put a few vintage brass water nozzles
in the Brass Handled Basket are a few of the handmade Flower Bulbs
 

***
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see how I have incorporated some of my vintage treasures into my home for Spring! 
***
 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home.

So until my next post......
