Hi Friends,
I'm so glad your here!
Today, I'm so excited to share thrifting, at my local 'Vintage/Thrift Consignment Store'. The store had a few new treasures, however were marked up out of my price range.

In a corner of my Den/Family room, I have a bookcase full of games for those stay inside days of Winter.
While shopping Saturday I happen upon this wooden dice cup for $2.00. Watch caught my eye was the brass looking coins imbedded at the base.

As I was checking out I noticed this cutie in the case, the cashier said what about $5.00? I'm not sure if I over paid or not she sure is a cuties and about the same size as the last two Dutch dolls I purchased last time.
This is the back of the cute little doll sitting in her chair. I wasn't able to find a tag or mark on this super cute doll, I paid $5.00.

I think I past-up on this small emerald hobnob tooth pick holder last time I visited this store.

I'm so glad I took the time to look at it! I think it looks great with a few other emerald pieces I have, I paid $2.50

You may have wondered why I keep bringing home sewing notions. Well, somewhere in social media, I saw them using embroidery thread spools in vignette to add color. So that is why I have been picking up these large spools of thread at $.50 or less

The wicker heart wreath, I'm going to take apart and try to stain it a little darker and hang it from a hook some where not sure yet.

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 hope I gave you some inspiration to get out there and thrift, you just never know what you may find.

I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home.
So until my next post......

You didn't overpay for your doll. I love collecting international dolls like this. I wonder if she is from Belgium. I have several seated ones with lacemaking paraphenalia. The lace on her mob cap, blouse neckline and skirt made me think that! Plus with the gray hair, she would need eyelaces to make lace--at least I would! The spools of crochet cotton are great to make sugar starched eggs (over a balloon). Then you cut a hole (I edge the opening with rick rack or lace) and put an Easter scene in--a bunny or chicken with flowers. Great project for grands!
ReplyDeleteHi, Thank you so much for visiting my post, I was wondering if the doll was in a set or maybe came with a doll house I could not find any markings or tag I was curious about the year. It is funny when I turned 40 years of age I wasn't able to read a newspaper the print was so small. LOL Great idea for a Easter craft using the crochet thread. I will be visiting youngest Grandson for his second birthday and Easter this year. I always enjoy your comments Thank you, have a great week
