Sunday Vintage Thrifting- Looking for Holiday Decor

 Hi Friends,

Stopped by the my local vintage/thrift store to look for any Holiday décor. I was very excited to find a few Holiday pieces at a reasonable price. Let's get to the haul!

*****

First - I have been slowly picking up cutting boards with intention of replacing the paper plate, I'm currently using for snacks or appetizers. I picked up this board for $2.00 cutting board 

*****

Second - I saw this super cute cloth apple for $1.00 to put on the shelf in my computer nook, I think I might need to add another shelf lol.

*****

Then this super cute sturdy green box with a horse on the lid, for $1.50 to keep trinkets or the costume jewelry... that I have been picking up! lately :)

*****

I found a different style flashlight, as you can see I've started a new collection of vintage flashlights, this 1965 Ray-O-Vac Sportsman flashlight was $1.00, looks great with other three flashlights

*****

Like I said I was looking for Holiday décor

For $2.00 I brought home a super cute wooden carved turkey sitting on a cast iron candle holder I believe, the turkey looks like it is carved from a knot in the wood very clever. 

*****

When I saw this creamer with scallop edges, I thought I had another creamer that was in this style, how ever you can see it wasn't quite the same pattern I paid $1.00 for this creamer.

*****

Look at this little toothpick holder $.50 the pink flower was chipped. I wonder if maybe this cute footed piece is a bud vase or hat pin holder instead?

*****

Got off track again... I'm still looking for Holiday décor

Then I spotted this ceramic pheasant of course on the top of a very tall shelf that no way I could reach, I asked the price of the pheasant and the clerk had to get a ladder $15.00 was the price! 

*****

(I really try to keep my spending $5.00 or under)

*****

but, out of curtesy for the clerk having to climb a ladder, I paid the $15.00 for the ceramic pheasant.

 Super cool looking for my November décor!

*****
Of course I was going to pick-up the pheasant feather when I spied them for $3.00 for a bundle of 3 picks.

 I'll be adding the feathers to a few of the dried flower arrangements, 

*****

I thought the cute red metal lunch box for $5.00, will look great in my Christmas décor, which I'll be bringing Christmas out after Thanksgiving weekend

*****

Also, I hope you notice the yellow/orange table runner $8.00, (I know I went over my $5.00 limit). But it looks great on my vintage record player

*****

My favorite find on this trip was

Vintage Beistle Honeycomb Halloween decorations the pumpkin $1.00

 The cute scare crow for $.50, it did have some damage, but WOW!

Wow! What a great haul today! I'm so glad you stopped by.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I incorporated my new founds treasures into my home

I hope you enjoy seeing what I found today at my local vintage/thrift store and where I place some of the treasures in my home for the Holidays.

Vintage Shopping at Local Thrift Store

 Hi Friends, 

Happy Yard Sale Friday! 

Thank you for checking in today! It's been raining, the rain started Thursday morning and hasn't stopped. Supposed to continue raining through Sunday. 

So I dropped by my local "Community Budget Center" thrift store. As I have mentioned the prices have raised somewhat, but I did come home with a few treasures.

Since Halloween is around the corner, my first stop was the holiday aisle, in the past I have found a few vintage Halloween treasures at this local thrift store.

 Unfortunately, I didn't see vintage Halloween, there were a lot of costumes. I did see this cute handmade Halloween treat card board container for $.75, will look cute hanging on a hook in the Halloween display.

*****

For $3.00 I picked up the bag of fiber filler. A couple of weeks ago I did  a DIY scarecrow and my stash of filler is getting low, so can't go wrong by picking up another bag.

*****

I'm starting to think about how I want to decorate for the up coming winter months. So a few of the items I start looking for are... of course vintage Christmas, silver-plate platters wool blankets lanterns and thermoses. 

In the back of the store, is where they have outdoor equipment used sports equipment, bikes, skates, and camping gear. sitting up on the shelf was two red thermoses this red and black check patterned thermos.... $3.00! don't know why but I left behind a red with black stars. 

Looks nice with the other thermoses I've collected I think.

*****

I saw this super cute little oval glass frame with pressed flower in it for $.50, many many years ago my sister give me a similar one for Christmas, and thought it would go nicely in the guest room. I love it!

*****

Lately, I've been on the hunt for smaller books to use on shallow shelving, still lookin LOL, but this time going through the book area I notice a small sign 

"fill a bag for a Dollar"! 

could not believe it! Normally I'm charged a $1.00 each for hard backs.  I did pickup 6 books for a dollar, their a little bigger than I was looking for. 

However, the red and white/blue books will be put aside for my patriotic décor, the three black covered books I'll being using for a project for Halloween, I've seen a couple of people painting on books Thought I might give it a try check back next week I hope to have them done.

I hope some of the treasure I found this week will encourage you to go out and find some awesome treasures for your home décor.

Until next time.....

May God Bless You and Your Family,
