Happy July 1st Been Thrifting Again - at a few Yard Sale -Oh My the Treasures I Found

 Hi Friends,

Today I went to 4 yard sales and was so surprised with yard sale prices! 

Lanterns are on my list of treasure to look for and look I found "3" the large lantern $8.00 I was surprised that the two lanterns had the glass globes intact.  The small red for $3.00 and the little patriotic lantern $2.00 and had fuel in it. 

 Thermos are another item I look for, I believe I got the green Thermos free and I saw the larger water cooler, I paid $6.00 for it. 

This green Thermos fit right in with the collection.

*****

1970 Anchor Hocking oil lamp is so cute I added it to a shelf in the corner of the kitchen. Note because I will be using the cute lamp as décor I replace the lamp oil with color water. Love It!

*****

Right now I have the cool green water jug sitting on the beverage cart. Going to use it for ice tea on '4th of July' afternoon get together to watch fireworks.  

The lantern I'm pairing up with two other lanterns I've had for a while.

*****

Christmas platters for $1.00 each and the large plate is a 50's or 60's fiberglass Christmas planter.  I'll be stashing them away until Christmas.

*****

All of these item were thrown in for FREE!

I was so thrilled.

 

I'll be adding the church keys to the collection, for now I'm using this key rack to display my collection of vintage bottle openers. 

*****

I have a vintage jar that needs a zinc milk glass lid.  I thought the lid would fit on the ATLAS Mason jar, but as you can see it didn't. 

oops I need to dust

This Ball jar doesn't have much of a brim, but maybe the lid will fit.

*****

The pocket watch will be put into a vignette along with the advertisement change pocket for now on a night stand.

*****

 The wire tray is for cooking over open fire, maybe for fish, so I'll be putting it into our camping gear.

At another garage sale

 I found a framed Snoopy picture $1.00, I have been a big fan since the late 60's of Snoopy items, I pick them up now and then if the price is right.

Also a blue because of the color, but not very aged book, but for $.50 I couldn't pass it up.

Also, at this yard sale, for $5.00 I picked up the shutters there red I think I'll paint them chalk paint even though I do like red. You'll have to stop by in a day or two to see how I'm using the shutters.

Yard Sale #3

I'm looking for Patriotic treasures right?  I was not disappointed. There were 3 to4 different patriotic patterned napkin set.

I picked up five red, white, and blue star napkins to use at the 4th of July get together to watch fire works.

The cute bibs I thought to frame them in grandkids bed room.

 The green and orange yellow bandanas will be put away until fall.

Oh man the hair pins my mother used hairs like that

hair style.

*****

I just had to pick these three game books up, I think my vintage poker chip rack and dice make a nice vignette.

Yard Sale #4

 I didn't take a picture - they had boy clothes so I stopped and I did pick up 3 pair of nice wranglers pant and a John Deer sweat shirt for one of the grandsons for $4.00.

If you have checked a few of my post I do like Hens and Rooster. I spotted this beauty! $2.00

I place this beautiful wooden hen in the herb wagon, I herbs by seed aren't growing very fast as you can see.  I do have dill but the cilantro and parsley are kind of delayed.

Last item was this awesome Nursery Rhymes vintage book. I love the illustration in vintage books.

I want to thank you for making my blog part of your day, please check back any time. I'm trying to post at least every two weeks, with thrift hauls, vignettes of where I show off my thrifted treasures, and a few peek at my seasonal home decorating in and outside my home.

Until next time....

My God Bless You and Your Family,
