Weekend Thrifting - Found A Few More Brass Garden Water Nozzle - Plus Vintage Books at Great Prices!

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few fun treasure I found yard sales this weekend at a great price. Two boxes for a total of $9.00

First item was a 2003-Christmas series "Budweiser" Mug to add to my collection for $.50

***

I also saw a pair of vintage Brass Water Nozzles  ($.25 each) and a yellow "Nelson Fan Rose" hose sprinkler ($.10) to add to my garden seed box vignette.

I really light how this vignette is coming together.

***

deep in a box was a pair of Silver-Plate Vases  (made in Italy - $2.50). I hesitated a bit, wondering if I really needed them but, look how great the vases look on top of the high-boy in the guest room, I tend to add more girly treasures in this room.

***

I just can't seem to leave vintage books behind, especially this set of 3 "Hollister's" story books, how cool! 

***

I also found another awesome Tomato Pin Cushion it was placed in my tiny sewing nook.

***

In a free box I found this adorable Baby Night Shirt

It has a little bit of tucking and small embroidery flowers (made in the Philippines with USA Cotton)

Last week I was going through a closet and found a box of things I have collected over the year and came across this cute child hanger I had picked-up years ago,

 it works well with the newly found night shirt don't you think?

All of these items I paid $5.00 for the box

***

In another box were 5 large 

wooden picture frames (priced at a $1.00 each)

This cute birch candle (priced at $1.00) I will be using in my winter decorating.

and a set of twin bed spreads (priced at $1.00 each) I'm going to use on the grandkids bunkbed.

I paid a total of $4.00 for the whole box!

I Found Some Christmas Decorations.... PLUS ......a Fun Find! Box of 1950's - 1970 Ephemera - Yard Sale Weekend

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share Christmas Decor! I found out yard selling this weekend.

All Christmas items for $5.00!

There were 4 or 5 cases of 1 1/2" or 2" multiple color ornaments! 

I've accumulated so many ornaments in the past year out thrifting, I didn't think I needed any more!

 However, I've gotten into making vintage inspired assemblages for the holidays, so I can justify buying 3 boxes, RIGHT?

***

-Christmas Jingle Bells-

I've been collecting little brass bells to make a Brass Christmas Bell Wreath for some time... for the prices I couldn't pass over the Jingle Bells.

***

-Red Faux Velvet Christmas Bows with Little Bells-

For crafting or to add to Christmas presents.

I thought the Holly Tin will look great as a riser in a Christmas vignette later this year.
***

-Christmas Crafting-

Faux Satin ornaments are great for crafting along with the confetti Santa's for assemblage's

 the Santa Garland was interesting. I'll probably cut out individual Santa's to make stickers or adorn Christmas presents.

***

-Ephemera!-

If you remember a month ago I stopped by this 'once a month' yard sale and only bought 2 magazines for $2.00 each. 

As you can see the box of Mechanic Illustrated Magazines was still there.

Got got the box of 65 magazines for $25.00.

Tobacco advertisement's that I'm thinking I may frame and add to my vintage tobacco collection

I think this was a good bargain.

-For a Collection-

older green/blue mason jar for $5.00 will go into the Ball Jar collection.

 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. 

It was a great weekend for yard selling!

 I would love to hear what you have been up to this week.

A Few New Vintage Shakers to Add to the Collection PLUS a Few Cool Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

I join into my favorite online auction "Sugar Britches" sale last week and I received my package today!

I'm so excited to share what I purchased.

First,

adorable shaker set is made in Japan little red ware teapots with a rooster painted on one side, I paid $5.00 pair

This cute unique three pieces set was $12.00

above the kitchen cabinets I grouped my new brown shakers with some of my Hall Pottery pieces.

***

Next,

is the cute pair of kitty shakers for $5.00 pair

I think they look great with a larger set of kitty shakers.

***

I just couldn't let this pair go, because the rooster had a repaired tail feather, as you know cracks doesn't necessarily break a deal with me. I got this Hen and Rooster shakers for $3.00

***

I thought the prices were good for these shakers and shipping is very reasonable @ $15.86. Locally, their asking $10.00 a pair for shakers.

***

A few other nice treasures I was able to purchase.

This wonderful white vintage hen for $7.00, made in China. 

I nestled the awesome white hen among some of my Milk Glass collection.

***

another beautiful piece is this Fenton Hobnail uranium glass berry dish for $12.00 (it has a chip but I do not mind),

This dish looks great with my other piece of uranium glass.

***

I was super excited to find this bundle of 13 vintage wooden yard stick pieces for $22.00 ($1.60 each)! I can't wait to decorate with them.

I just folder the wooden yardstick into a star, love this idea.

***

Stuck a few short yard sticks in a vintage stein on the mantel

as you can see I added a few more yardsticks to a wooden box with some dried poppy pods and a vintage flashlight.

***
My favorite find this week, 1933 Garcia Grande wooden cigar box for $ 8.00

 

This cigar box is a super awesome addition to my collection, what do you think?

***

I also purchase some very cool "Ephemera" I'll be sharing next, so please check back.
