Looking for Vintage Treasures - Friday Thrift Haul

 Hi Friends,

Looking for thrifted treasures

Today I'm sharing a few treasures I found out thrifting.

  OH MY!

You know I can't seem to pass up on grabs bags

This is what was in the grab bag vintage 60's? plastic floral I can not believe what all I have picked up this year!

It's great for my outdoor décor.



I'm using the felt poinsettia's on the vanity in the guest room


The other flowers will be put in the tub with the rest of the outdoor Christmas décor for next Christmas

*****

I saw the plaid apron and thought I could use the fabric for something




*****
Look at this super super cute hand made felt stocking not sure how vintage it is but it looks vintage so cute










*****

The basket was considered Christmas so I brought it home, I think I'll use it in my Spring décor



I did cleaned up the basket so it will be ready to use


*****

I liked this plate for $.50, a old time church I think it will be great in my Christmas décor, or maybe Easter décor......
 the possibilities are endless.


I place the plate on the shelf with the Last Supper plaque


*****
As you know... cookie cutters are my weakness,

 as I entered my local community thrift store there on the right inside of the door was a table of Vintage Cookie Cutter - $.25 each! a few I hadn't seen before

I couldn't pass by these cookie cutters two cute Angels, Baby Jesus in a manger, a Shepard and Lamb, Cupid, a little Teddy Bear, and a few aluminum cutters


*****

I brought home this cool plate, because of the log cabin on it I thought it would look great in my 'Winter Décor' next month.
I went ahead and moved a few of my chickens elsewhere to make room for the cool cabin plate


*****

I had been eyeing the round gold ornament for a while, they have 'winter cabin scene' inlaid, very nice.



*****

Santa candle isn't vintage I don't think but he looks great setting here on the Milk Glass shelf.


The handmade clay snowman will be in my Winter Décor so stay tune.......
*****

Grab bag of cookie cutters a few I already have in my stash of cookie cutters, the 5 lighter red Or pink cutters I haven't seen before. Look at the two tin cutter a little mule and owl, so cute 


and who doesn't need Christmas socks?
*****

I put this cute wreath in my cart because I was thinking Grapevine wreaths are great to have in my stash.

The more I look at the Angel crafted on the wreath I may leave it as is.


I have the wreath hanging on the guest room door

*****

My local Thrift Store was pretty sparse for home décor, but I think I found some cool Vintage Christmas treasure to add to my décor next Christmas.

Did you have a favorite?  I think mine was the felt stocking and the gold ornaments.

Thank you so much for stopping by.... so until the next post.
May God Bless You and Your Family in the New Year!

Vintage Christmas Vignettes

 Hi Friends,

Thank you for stopping by 'My Little Colorado Cottage' to see what is going on!

Today I'm adding a little bit of berries, greenery and a few seasonal items to the vintage cigar box shelves. 

I hope to give you some ideas, how you can have collections and still be able to add seasonal touches with out a lot of fuss.

This cute decoration, my sweet friend gifted to me last Christmas season the ornament has lights inside.


on the same shelf I added a few mercury glass stems to the green mug surrounded by a few heart rocks, then I just added green glass ornaments to top off the 'Sir-Walter Raleigh' tobacco can

at the end of the shelf I keep a few of my small vintage glass bottles and just add sprigs of greenery and pip-berries and holly pick


I've showed this cute vintage Santa earlier I thrifted a couple of small bottle brush wreath and hooked one of them on the Santa's arm still looking for a small cloth bag to put in his other hand, the little ceramic Bull Dog is a craft from the kids

I was so excited when I saw these cute figures that I thrifted last year, the Mrs. Claus is marked Japan. I believe I also thrifted the silver-plate tray last year

I keep a few of my Rooster and Hen collections out year round, when I found a place for my collections that warms my heart, 

 I try to decorate in and around the grouping of my vintage collections that I love.



I really like how the vignettes turned out this season, I'm really liking the added greens and a little sparkle from the berries and glass bulbs.

Thank you so much to everyone that follows my vintage thrifting journey, I appreciate you all and wish You and Your Family a Merry Christmas!
