Hi Friend,

I'm so excited to share my 1st thrift haul of 2023.

While thrifting this week, I found some very cool Treasures.

*****

1st-treasure are Children's Alphabet Blocks!

I always look Alphabet Children Blocks to build my collection of blocks to use in my décor, I don't believe these blocks are vintage, but possibly at least 5-10 years old? made by? (Playschool)

In the bag of blocks for $3.00 there were16 large wooden letter blocks.

these wooden blocks have upper case and lower case letter on opposite side and animal prints and numbers stamped on the other sides

*****

A cute tin of wooden blocks for $3.00 sticker on bottom of the tin (Made in Taiwan)  

These wooden blocks were also stamped with numbers and animal prints

There was a total of 26 letter blocks in the tin.

My collection is growing Hey!

Next, I dug through the hankie/napkin shelf and found.....

Two darling Hankies $2.00 each 

- this cute hankies had lavender machine crocheted edge and some hand embroidery gray flower buds.

 A very adorable crafted trinket box with sea shells $1.50

I paired the awesome shell crafted trinket box with the light green hankie with machine embroidery white and red flower here on my vanity in the guest room

Today was not a very big haul, but the treasures I found I think was great and I'll be able to incorporate these awesome treasure in to my home décor.

Thrifted Christmas Treasures - Decorate with Me

 Hi Friends,

Today, I'm getting out my Thrifted Christmas Treasure I've found this year and incorporate them into my vintage decorating for the Holiday season!

All year I have been picking-up jiggle bells when I see them

A year or two ago I bought a white tree for a $1.00 at 'Dollar Tree' and today I'll be incorporating the thrifted bells to adorn this white tree.

also, a couple of weeks ago I thrifted a grab bag of very small bottle brush wreaths so I'll be using them also.

cute little plastic Angel

this little wreath had two tiny brass bells and gold twine wrapped around it

Because the white tree is on the high boy in the guest room I dug out these super cute cake or muffin picks I thrifted I think 2020?

a couple more cupcake picks a plastic Santa and a paper angel. In the ironstone dish I have a frosted bell with a glass ball/dinger made in Japan

Cute little tree I think.

Thank you so much for stopping by  'My Little Colorado Cottage', I'm slowly getting out my seasonal décor, so please check back to see how my Christmas home decorations are evolving this season.

May God Bless You and Your Family this Holiday season,
