Friday Vintage Thrifting - Found a Few Miscellanous Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share my thrifting haul today.

Unfortunely the thrift store was pretty bare on this trip, but I did find a few Micellanous Treasures.

This first item was $1.50 and I thought it might make a fun game with Grandkids. Sending decodable letter to them

***
I've been collecting play dishes for my 3 year old grandson and these little tin pots will be added to the box. Each pot was 25 cent.

***

Once again I found a few more cookie cutters, I really have a hard time passing these items, @10 cent each.

***

I did pick up two hard back books for $1.00 each

***

Tree wrap bundle I thought I would craft with it,

 however taking some time to think about it I could use this wrap on the corn in the garden to ward-off earwigs. I'll let you know if it works.

***

Lastly, I found two Eggshell colored Homer Laughlin 'Creme" Dessert plates with the embossed fruit rim for $1.00 for the pair.

***

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week.

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home.

 So until my next post......

Vintage Thrifting- Found a Few Silver-Plate Items at a Reasonable Price! -Weekend Thrift

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few vintage treasures I found out thrifting this week at FIFTY PERCENT OFF DAY!

These cute little Satin Floral Covered Take-Out Box/Purse caught my eye.

They were $2.00 each, so I paid $1.00 each, the Green Satin Floral Covered Take-Out Box/Purse, looks wonderful for Spring!

I think the brown box will look great in my Fall Decor next season.

***

Looking throught the dishes, I found this adorable Platter with Red and Yellow Flowers for $2.00, it's stamped Japan. I paid $1.00

I thought this platter will look great in a Summer table centerpieces.

Checking out the Silver-plate shelf, I saw the silver-water pitcher and creamer priced at $5.00,

I couldn't believe the price!

(Lately, this thriftstore has had very high prices on vintage items.)

I had picked up the little sugar bowl in the last part of January  on 1/2 price Tuesday for $1.50. It looks like to me that all three were part of a set.

***
Lastly, I found this wonderful Yellow Handmade Birdhouse.

the side, isn't nice? 

Can't wait to set it up in my yard, the Robins have arrived!

Spring is coming!

I found some Wonderful Sewing Notions While Out Thrifting 12-29-2023

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a Sewing Notions thrift haul.

I found two bundles of cotton gingham fabric for rustic country cottage crafting

the $ 4.00 bundle has 14 flat folds

and the $1.50 bundle has 3 flat fold pieces 

***

I also found a 50 cents box of sequins for adding sparkle to my crafts, 

***

I was super excited to find another Tomatoe Pincushion, a scrap of 2" Silver Ribbon, and  a scrap of 2 1/2" Poinsettia Print Ribbon.

I'll be putting the ribbon in to my ribbon stash for future projects

***

Lastly, I picked up a Pillow cover sewing kit, I thought the green material was felt, however, when I looked closer it was cotton with a cross-stitch pattern.  I'm thinking it might be a good gift for a friend or I might just use the kit for other sewing projects, we'll see!

First,

I want to show you these cute shakers I paid $1.00 each, as you know I like collecting vintage shakers.

Next,

Two interesting Books...

 a "King James Holy Bible" which is always nice to have a back-up.

and "Western Yesterdays Series" - 

this particular book has stories of the old west, I think it will be a good read.

This adorable 1950's "Thames" piece, hand  painted Bible verse (John 15:13) with the cute Cherub figurine, was also in the shakers box $1.00. I will be giving this cute piece to a friend.

A few vintage games-

1976 'Scrabble' board game

I Found a Couple of Great Finds - Vintage Thrifting Friday

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! Today, I'm so excited to share a few treasures I found this weekend at a couple of yard sales.

***

The first sale,

had a lot of Christmas light, ribbons, wrapping paper, and arranged florals and small trees, all modern Christmas décor, so I passed it up. 

However, I did notice a under-bed Rubbermaid tote for $2.00 

Thought the Rubbermaid tote is worth the $2.00, right?

I also got a bag of miscellaneous tissue paper.

and quite a few pre-made red bows for the $2.00's.

***

Also, at this sale I spied another vintage piece of Tupperware for my daughter, 

for $2.00 a Sheet Cake Caddy

***

Then,

across the street was a sale and I picked up 9 Terra-Cotta planter saucers all for $1.00!

I'm using a few of the saucers with the Terra-Cotta planters on the front porch.

***

The last sale 

I stopped at 

on Friday, had many tools, duffle bags, tool caddies, electrical items, cement trowels, building materials, etc.

I brought home a few fun finds....

I thought this Klein Tool Caddy $1.00 will be great as a flower planter

***

also two tool bags on a belt for $3.00.  I'm going to use as a caddy for my garden tools and gloves

***

I couldn't leave this cute Kerosene Lantern for a $1.00 

I'm not sure if I want to paint it red or not, what do think?

***

a Receipt/Invoice Books and Carpenter Pencil for $1.00

I'll be using pages from the books in my the collage cards, I've been enjoying making for my holiday décor.

***

two small Cans of Stain $1.00, I picked hoping to weather protect the the garden chair, will see? 

***

 when I run across a heavy duty Duffle Bag at a reasonable price I try to purchase them, I use the bag to hold sleeping bags for camping, sometime I can get up to 3 sleeping bags in one duffle bag!

 I paid $3.00 for this bag.

***

This weekend I did not find many vintage treasures, but that's how it goes sometimes. 

There's always next weekend!

Friday Vintage Thrifting

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share some interesting treasures I found at my local vintage/thrift store, all of this for $23.20

***

'The Three Musketeers' book I sat ,here on the shelf with many other vintage children books I've collected.

The 'Three Musketeers copy right 1958 was a great find for $5.00

***

I have been watching the bag of 4 vintage hard wood caster for vintage furniture plus 3 more for a total price of $4.00, that I have been watching for some time.

I found three single casters and threw them in and offer $4.00 for all seven wheels and the owner was okay with that price. 

COOL!

I thought they would look great in a jar, box, and even a toy tractor-trailer.

***

The bag of buttons were a great find I thought for a $1.00, because they have been quite a bit higher in the past , Like $5.00!

Look at these buttons the are amazing, I'm wondering if the cream color buttons might be made of shell or bone?

And the black buttons 'Bakelite'?

***

This green vintage trinket dish was super cool, was really hoping it might be Uranium Glass, unfortunately not uranium glass for $3.00.

for the time being I'm using the vintage green dish to hold the new button for display, that I paid $3.00. 

***

I spotted this cute creamer with birds! very cool! I'll be using this creamer in my Fall décor

Made in England $5.00

***

I loved these three crocheted pot holder blue for Summer, orange trim for Fall, and yellow trim for Spring. The hot pad are very nicely made, love this find, at $1.00 each.

I kept the blue trim pot holder for for my Summer Décor 

***

I found two more 'Cookie Cutters'!, Ill be displaying the spaded cookie cutter with my other aluminum cookies cutters. I paid $0.50

 The Count Von Count, cookie cutter I paid $0.25, will be boxed away for October, so cute.

***

The bag of hair pins for $2.00 are super cool , but I chose this bag for the cute Duck Burette.

I wonder if the the brown hair pins are 'Bakelite'?

These super interesting group of hair clips are cool for $2.00.  

Look at this cute little duck hair clip.

***

I found another piece of green glass for $1.00 wondered if it had some uranium, but it didn't BUMMER!

I've got it displayed on the Hutch in a cubby.
