First Vintage Haul of 2023

 

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.

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.

Until my next post......May God Bless You and Your Family!

Friday Vintage Thrifting Day- Went Back for the Other Quail Dessert Plates

 Hi Friends,

Today I stopped by the local community thrift store and took my time looking around for the other three quail desserts plate I left behind last week ....

I was in luck, however I only found two of the quail plate $.50 each to add to my November décor.

*****

To my surprise, I found another Hen & Rooster coffee mug for $1.75

*****

 One more Low-Ball Mallard Duck cocktail glass for $1.50 to added to the other four I found a few weeks ago.

*****

The best find today was ....

A super cute jewelry box replica of a 1950's waterfall veneer pattern trunk $2.50

the inside looked like cedar but not sure, supper cute. I've place the jewelry box on top of a high-boy in 

the guest room.

*****

it's the hunt :)

*I spotted a couple of grab bags of jewelry* 

The first bag $2.00, consisted of mostly clip-on earrings I'll be keeping them for my granddaughter, quiet a few lapel pins, and pendants for necklaces

I remember way back when an aunt wore these red flower earrings and a pin. 

this necklace and clip-on earrings

were wooden. 

a pair of whimsical owl earrings was a interesting find, the pair of pink shell earrings brought me back to the late 60's/70's

The $1.50, 

bag of broken jewelry had necklaces missing clasps

broken bead necklaces of different kinds, two of the costume pearl necklaces were in good shape

interesting brown beads on this broken stretchy bracelet

A nice variety of material the necklaces were made from, some wooden and shell beads others had glass beads, and a few had plastic and small metal accent beads. 

*****

I don't know why I' starting to pick-up jewelry, I think because you really don't know what could be in that bag ...... and look at all the very cool pieces were those two bag!

I also brought home this cute white dish stamped made in France not sure if it is ironstone or not, for $2.50. 

*****

And lastly, the pewter goblet will be added to my growing pewter collection :) $3.00

*****

Had a great day thrifting today and found some fun treasures.

I would love to hear from you, and let me know, what you look for while out thrifting and I would love your ideas about how you incorporate your treasure into your home décor.

Until next time ......

May God Bless You and Your Family,
