Vintage Thrifting - Incorporating VintageTreasures into my Home Decor.

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share what I found out thrifting on half price day!

***

This beautiful framed Laser Etched Wooden Drawing was $3.00/$1.50

***

I gave a $1.00 for this 'Bag of Sewing Notions', because of the little cloth strawberry pin cushion

a card of pearl buttons

and look at all the sewing bobbins and thread for a dollar!

***

Bag of Beads for $ I have Grandkids that will have fun with stringing or sorting this 'Bag of Beads'

***

Finger Puppets for $.30/ $.15

***

Light Blue Enamel Sauce Pan, $5.00/$2.50.  I'll be using for a potted plant on the deck.

***

What a surprise when I found the two copper molds, WOW!

the fruit basket was marked $3.00 each, I paid $1.50

I have a wall in my kitchen where I made a small collection of my thrifted copper molds

I think the two new molds look great on this wall.

***

another great find was this glass ink well was marked $3.00 I paid $1.50

I place the inkwell on the new shelf in my computer area

Where I have a few more inkwells, I have out thrifting.

***

I had spied these amazing figurines last week, but I didn't want to pay $6.00 each.

So glad, I was able to pick these up for $3.00 each this week.

This little 'Royal Copley Bird Figurine' stamped Japan is a amazing find I think.

 The yellow/black bird sitting on limb figurine, is a numbered piece made in Japan. Not sure if it's "Lefton" or not.

***

Then I found a vintage 'Aladdin Thermos' with Fall Plaid for $3.00/$1.50. I 'll be using the thermos in my Fall decorating this Fall.

I'll be putting these 'Christmas Plaid Cloth', I paid $.50/ $.25 in my Christmas tub.

This copper-plate planter for $3.00/ $1.50, is going to look great with my Late-Summer to Fall Decor or possibly outside on front porch.

Lastly a Vintage Cabbage Grater $5.00/ $2.50. I haven't decided if I want to leave the painting on the grater and I believe I'll be hanging it on a cabinet in the kitchen.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by. I found a few amazing treasure on my bucket list, out thrifting this week. 

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

 So until my next post......

Weekend Thrifting - I Found Some Awesome Treasures! - Vintage Home Decor

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! I went to a yardsale this weekend and just wanted to share what I found.

 

I actually found many items to expand a few of my vintage collections!

***

You all know I pick-up 1940-1950's Hens/Roosters

 well I found this 'White Ceramic Hen Napkin Holder with Salt and Pepper Shakers' 

I'm not sure if this one is newer there is no markings and the shakers have plastic stoppers

I do have a older 1960's Hen Napkin Holder without the Egg Shakers.

It has a mark on the bottom...

It's a slight larger...

Similar feather details...

What do you think?

I have styled the Hens in the Kitchen above my cabinets.

***

Another great find was this pair of 'Ceramic Cobalt Blue & White - Hen Shakers for $3.00

for now I have these Cute Hens Shakers displayed with my new set of Curier & Ives plates in the China Hutch, I found a couple of weeks ago.

***

I found two Amazing Vintage Wooden Carpenter's Folding Yard Stick for $5.00 each,

the manufactures brand is Lufkin

I have displayed the Vintage Folding Yard Sticks in a vintage lunch box with a few other collections I have.

***

Can't beat finding FREE! plate holders, I'll be putting them in my stash for later use. This measured closse to 12"

***

I'm really drawn to vintage metal flashlights

This one is a 1950's Vintage Eveready Union Carbide - Magnet Lite Flashlight - USA made

I think it's a great addition to this collection.

***

There were several 1930's quart size glass Milk Bottles with embossed label, the gentlemen was asking $7.00 each, which I think is high, so I just bought one 

This Milk Bottle's label -Dewitt's Jersey Dairy, Chandler

***

Lastly, 

a Awesome! 1960's Red Tin for One Dollar!

I'm displaying the wonderful little Red Tin on a shelf in the Living Room
