Thrifting for Vintage Home Décor

 

Hi Friends,

 I had a day off so I thought I'd go thrifting! to my local thrift store.

I found a few items that I think  will blend into my vintage farmhouse décor.

The red rimmed tray and the rocking horse I'll be saving for my Christmas décor. I'm thinking adding red/black check fabric for a Christmas vignette. 

This wonderful platter I'm going to put in my kitchen

I looked up the markings on the bottom and found out this platter is Sienna Ware the Crescent China Co with the  'pink flower 1920 pattern'  I just thought it was pretty and I paid $2.00.

I started this vignette with a few of my salt and pepper shakers and a vintage creamer from the 1950's the creamer I have had for .... I don't remember how long.

I purchased another vintage dish this one is quite a bit smaller and oval shape. According to the marks on the bottom of the plate, it is from Knowles, Taylor & Knowles china in the 20's .  This little dish will also find a place in my kitchen.

I played around with another little creamer I thrifted this summer and added another set of salt and pepper.   I like how the pink in the creamer ties in better with the pink flower pattern of the platter.

Thank you for staying and see what I found and how I place the thrifted items in my home.

Until next time.......

May God Bless You and Your Family.

Rustic Winter Décor - Transition from Christmas to Winter in the Den

Hi Friends,

Setting up my fireplace mantel first, get the creative juice's flowing for me.  This year I thought about bring out more of the red black buffalos checks and woodsy feel for the foundation of my winter décor.  In past years I've done red birds, snowmen, or icy, snowy winter with snowflakes.  

On the mantel I place two trees on either side that are sat in galvanized buckets.  That are cover with red/ black buffalo checked scarfs all of these items I bought at Dollar Tree.

I also added a few vintage bottles, pine cones and a milk glass vase with red berries.

In the center of the mantel I added this Baby it's Cold Outside, sign I crafted last winter, along with a few of my vintage canning jars.      

A thrifted cardinal plate from last winter, and of course the black/white and red/black checked ribbon and pine garland that I love to add to the mantel.

Also in the den I found a place for the cast metal candle holder, I thrifted this month, 

 A glass flower frog that was handed down from my grandmother, one of my cigar boxes filled with pine cones and greenery weathered sticks from my yard.

On one of the shelves in the den is a vintage blue lunch box to display my collection of glass door knobs, greenery a few pine cones and red berries.

On top of the Pepsi crate I placed a vintage white mug with a little greenery and red berries and an chrome plate pocket warmer with a red bag that I found in the trunk.

In the Pepsi crate I changed a few things, added a little blue bottle and a children's tea saucer and a little greenery and berries.

 

Over in a corner of the den, I placed wool blankets in the wooden "Black Label" box on top of the trunk, 

I also pulled out some of the games we play with the kids for time to time, some of the cold days in winter. 

I like this arrangement, I made up for Christmas, using a vintage tobacco box, some pine greenery pine cones and this very large hurricane chimney.

I thrifted the hurricane chimney several years ago and didn't know how to use it. I really like how this center piece came to gather. 

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed seeing how I decorated my mantel for the winter months.

Until the next time God Bless You,

Vintage November Décor

Hi Friends,

I really enjoy decorating for Thanksgiving, I kind of go over board with fall color, I think because our winters here in the NW are cold, dreary and did I say cold?

This ceramic cornucopia I thrifted many years ago.  I have added old Indian corn that I also found thrifting, then I have purchased pumpkins and fall leaves and have collected the pine cones to fill in the ceramic cornucopia.

I have added fall leaves and pip berries to a few of the vintage finds I display above my kitchen cabinets.

 

Fall flower and pip berries arranged in a wooden whiskey box.

Another cornucopia with fall flowers I am not usually into sparkle or shiny but this year I used a few of the bronze flowers in this arrangement.

Here is a basket filled with pine corns sitting next to the fireplace hearth. (Side note: I'm always collecting pine cones.)

Another thrifted basket I use in my décor throughout the year filled with more purchased fall flowers

I love putting out turkeys I have only two would love to find more vintage turkeys.

Here is a California prune box I thrifted a few years back it sits on top of a kitchen cabinet year round. I just change it out seasonally.

A thrifted basket with this adorable fall liner.

Here is the other turkey figure this is a planter.

Thank you so much for stopping by to see what I have been up to.  

So until next time I'm Vicki a Colorado Junkett
