Friday Vintage Thrifting for Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends,

I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few great Treasures I found this week out thrifting.


Because, I do have a vintage record player I decided to pick up a few records to display on top of the player this Summer.

I love the graphic on this sleeve and also the picture of the whole 'Guy Lombardo Band on the album.
(which you can't see so well)

*****

A silver- plate low sided basket or serving platter for
 $3.00.



*****




Super adorable framed picture of a 
child praying, just couldn't leave it behind. Can't really see, but the little girl has her dolls lined up praying with her, So Cute.

*****
Last thrifting outing, I past these cutie candles two weeks ago.  This week they were still there, so I picked them up for $.75 each.


Was not able to find any information about these cuties, so not sure if there vintage or not. They could be newer, maybe from Russ Berry Company?


*****
Oh by the way, you may have notice I also picked up a ramekin or jelly jar I normally pick these kinds of canning jars use for snacks- (like nuts, pudding, chip, berries).
***
Cute vase made in Italy for FTD I'm going to gift it to a friend with a new baby start from a Mother Spider Plant.



*****

A bag of three embroidery thread spools-$1.50



I use the spools for décor in my sewing nook and you never know I might do some crocheting and need a spool. HA HA

*****

I just could not pass up a bag of 'Rick-Rack' for $2.50  there were 'NINE' different colors in the bag, to go out and buy at a fabric store I would pay between $2.00 to $3.50 a package.  Good Buy! 

This bundle will be going into my crafting stash

 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.

Spring/Easter Vintage-Inspired Vignettes on the Entry-room Hutch


Hi Friends, 

I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few vignettes on the Entry-Room Hutch.
 I started with placing the yellow faux-florals and pip berries, I have gathered over the years.



This first vignette I'm sharing has one of my newly vintage post-cards 
finds 


post-marked April 9, 1914 with a 1- cent stamp. Detroit To: Grambroch  Ontario, Canada, From: Billie.  So beautiful.


Cute thrifted Chenille yellow chick sits in a nest of shredded newspaper, (saw this idea on You-Tube.)

****

 The second shelf I have displayed the thrifted Log Cabin souvenir plate from the Ozark's.


I'm using the "Little Chenille Chick" I thrifted a few weeks ago, and sprinkle them through-out my Spring-Easter décor.
****


Next, I found the berry baskets, I thrifted a couple of Springs ago.


Next, I've placed painted plastic eggs in a variety of sizes, in vases and jars 

another one of the super cool thrifted post-cards, it didn't have a post-mark, but it was from: Orval to: grandpa 
*****

This is another New vintage Easter Post-Card, I purchased at a On-line Auction last week, so cute with two bunnies holding a giant Easter Egg with a cute yellow Chick standing on top of the egg.





I also decided to use the faux Daffodil bulbs I hand-made last Spring


Lastly, in this vignette I used a thrifted frame fruit bowl photo I found last Spring from my local Vintage/Thrift Store.




In a thrifted vase I added a few more hand-painted plastic eggs a couple of sprigs of pip-berries.



A pair of super adorable bunnies I thrifted from my local Budget Thrift Store several years back. The vintage post-card is another card in the bundle I purchased at a on-line auction.


Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see some of my Spring vignettes using some of my treasures I have found out thrifting.


 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......
