Christmas Thrift Haul - Home Décor

Hi Friends,

I went shopping again, to my local thrift store. Unfortunately, I only found one Christmas item.

I have been following a few of my favorite you-tubers that have a very nice collection of these little Christmas choir boy candles.  I think it is made by Gurley Candle Company. While going through several tables of Christmas items, I know I pasted over this little candle several times before I realized what it was and picked it up.


there is no tag or markings on the bottom.
 

I also picked up a box of glass ornament made in the USA for $2.00


These other items are more home décor.

LOL, I have so many of these zip lock bags in my house that have little odds and ends, I find while cleaning. I really don't know why I picked up this bag of board game pieces, you never know when you might need a spare game piece.


This is the first cutting board that I have found that is in descent shape, for $3.00.


I found one of these cook books last summer, that I gave to my youngest daughter, this one is to replace our paperback, that has seen better days. The pages are falling out.





When I saw these Campbell Soup thermos I was thrilled, last year I purchased a Campbell soup gift pack with a tray and soup cup. I'll be adding these thermos to the crate. So cute!


I was super surprised that I found these next two pieces, because it seem copper is the item to look for to use in farmhouse décor.  This cute vase needs a little cleaning up.


For the both of these copper pieces I paid $1.50 each.



Thanks for stopping by today, to see what I found at my local thrift store. This was a fun haul!

May God Bless You and Your Family.

Happy Thankgiving 2021

 Hi Friends,

A day to get together with family and friends and eat Turkey!

The table is set! and the turkey is in the oven.



Thank you for stopping by...

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather with family especially now! Family, I feel, should be our primary focus.  It's so easy to get caught up in the excitement of these next few holidays and forget about establishing memories. 

 And, let's not forget Pecan Pie!



May God Bless You and Your Family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

A Small Thrift Haul Looking for Vintage Holiday Décor

 Hi Friends,

This is Thanksgiving Eve!  I haven't be to my favorite antique store in a while and just wanted to check in to look for a few vintage turkeys.  

Didn't find any, however I did find a few things.


A wonderful green metal box, I can't wait to use in my Christmas décor.


Look at this nice brass candle stick I'm going to add it to my small collection of brass candle sticks I already have.
 I also found a cool looking wooden plaque to hang keys possibly?
For $4.00 I picked up a vintage door knob.

And lastly, a little plaque that says, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. AMEM."
I love it!


I was kind of bummed that I didn't find any more vintage turkeys, I'll just keep hunting.

Thank you for stopping by.


May God Bless You and Your Family!

Thanksgiving week Part 2 - Decorate with me - Transitioning into Cozy Vintage Harvest - Hutch 2021

 Hi Friends,

The days are getting shorter and the night colder all leaves are off the trees, it time to start a fire and make every corner of my house cozy.

Today, I'm gathering items to decorate my hutch for the week of Thanksgiving. Rich reds, browns, and oranges with a few turkeys added in 


I also gathered a few of my vintage canning jars I've been collecting, to the hutch

A diy blessing sign I made a few years ago, I dug out a vintage lunch box I had on a shelf in my den and added colorful decorative corn and some faux better sweet.

I have a small collection of turkeys that I have place on top of my hutch.

On one of my thrifting adventures I found this cream color leaf shape dish and thought it would look nice with my fall décor.


I realized I really don't have many Turkeys collected but it is a start.



I hope I have given some inspiration for this holiday season

May God Bless You and Your Family!

Thanksgiving Week - Come Decorate With Me 2021 Part 1- The Mantel

 Hi Friends,

Today, I'm trying to get out some of my vintage Thanksgiving decorations for the up coming weekend. 

   I have a few vintage to me, pieces, that I have been using in my Thanksgiving décor for twenty years.

So I have gathered my favorite thrifted go to treasures for Thanksgiving

***

I have had the cornucopia's for years, that I picked up at a goodwill, along with the harvest food.


This year I have been using book for risers and I'm loving the Spanish moss this year also as I'm sure you haven't noticed I have it every where.


The amber bottles are new this year along with star pattern wreath.


Now for some of my new finds this year.  The last couple of months I've been really focused on searching for vintage turkeys, and copper, this is what I have gathered this year so far.

So what do you think of my added semi vintage turkey figurines?  It's a start I'll continue to keep a eye out in the coming year



Thank you for checking in to see what's been going on at my house this season.

May God Bless You and Your Family!

Fall Colors -The Tree are Changing Color in my Neck of the Woods

 Hi Friends,

Today all around my neighborhood the leaves are changing the evening are getting into the mid twenties.  

We just had a few rain showers, but we do a few breaks of sunshine and blue sky.


Today I thought it would be a great time to drive around town and shoe off the fall changing of the trees.


Orangish Yellow


Just a pic of sun shine of pink leaves changing on the tree behind my garage.  Beautiful

Pinkish Red


When the sun shine on trees the golden leaves are so beautiful.

A little bit of snow on the hills around my tiny town.


Fall is so beautiful.  Thank you for stopping by, the trees are so beautiful this time of year.

May God Bless you and your family!

So... until next time,
