Late Summer Decorating With Vintage Treasures


Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 
Happy LateSummer!
***
Today, I'm packing away the Summer Patrioctic decor and adding Late Summer/Early Fall touches to the top of the shelving unit in my entryroom. 

I like to bring in Sunflowers of all shade for this time of year.
I 've added a lot of my vintage chickens to this area, love showing them off.

Here is a closer view of some of my vintage thrifted finds

***

Late Summer in my cottage, gives me time to break out the apples, darker yellows, greens and shades of orange in my decorating.
still love the touches of blue for 'Late-Summer',
***
and a bit of shades of  browns. 
I hope you found some ideas how to use unexpected vintage finds along with multiple shades of Late-Summer colors in your decorating.
***
 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by 'My Little Colorado Cottage"

I would love to hear what colors you use in your 
"Late Summer" decorating. 

 So until my next post...... 

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Vintage Thrifting - a Couple of NEW Found Treasures Made in Japan -also a Few Vintage Glass Juice Jugs for Late Summer




Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! I've been thrifting again!

Today, I'm excited to share a couple new treasures I found to add to a Late-Summer Vignette.
***
***
I hope I can give you a few ideas how I've used vintage finds in my cottage decorating.
***
a pair of 1950's Rooster, made in Japan, not sure the manufacture.
aren't they a pride pair.
***
I purchased this creamer on half price day so I paid $2.00 for this amazing vintage creamer.
I'm guessing this a 'Majolic Basket Weave' pattern creamer, it is stamped Made in Japan.
***
Because it's the Harvest Season, I also dug out my Vintage Juice Jugs, I thrifted a box of six or seven glass juise jugs in a box for a $1.00 several years ago and haven't really incorporated them into my decor yet......
So Here We Go!

Vintage Juice Jugs
I found these free labels from free printables @ The Graphic Fairy.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by '"My Little Colorado Cottage' I found a few fun treasures this week to display in my cottage decor.

Late Summer Sunflowers From the Garden for my Seasonal Vignettes - Late Summer Decorating




Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 
Today, I'm so excited to share Sunflower's in the Garden
This is why I plant Sunflower every Spring in the Garden.

I really enjoy the pop's of Sunshine Yellow in my garden.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what is growing in the garden. 

I also think dried Sunflowers look nice stuck here and there in 'Late-Summer' decorating.
 I would love to know, do you use dried florals in your seasonal decorating? 
If so, you may like this post from last year.

New Finds - Decorating with Thrifted Copper Pieces - Thrifting for Vintage

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share  a few new finds and a little rearranging my Summer decor.
***
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.

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