1st Thrift Haul of 2020!

So So excited with the things I found today!

I'm hoping to use this Pepsi bottle crate to house some of the little hens

This bean pot  came with out lid, but had a USA mark on the bottom, so I had to bring it home with me.

I'm kinda a sucker for retro kitchen items as you will see. When I saw the label I knew I  should bring had another piece home.  I'm hoping I will be able to take the white enamel paint off... huh, will see.

Back in the late 60's, my Aunt gave us kids a set of these Disney books. I have one I have kept over the years and was super excited to find two for $3.50 each, and their in good shape.

This is what I was saying about reto kitchen items.

another exciting item were these kids blocks

This soap tray isn't that old but I just liked it to use as a jewelry or earring tray for my dresser.

Thank you for stopping by, I can't wait to clean these wonderful finds and put the into my decor.

Until next time.  Vicki

Weekend renovation

It’s starting to cool off now at nights if you consider 26 – 32 degrees cooling off and the rainy days are hit and miss. 
I live in a 1930’s Mount Harris house that was auctioned off and moved when the mine shut down front door was probably a original Mt Harris door (that’s another story). Mt Harris, Colorado
Before I bought this house the back door had be broken into, which caused a warp to the top of the door 3 1/2” out from the door jam.
With the weather changing the door really needed to be replaced, so this weekend I got a new front and back outside door

new back door, notice the dog door.  Monster can actually get in and out with out much problem

This is my dog Monster out in the snow last winter.  Not looking forward to so much snow like this, but I do live in Colorado!

Have a Great Day!

July Patriotic Touches - In the Kitchen

Hi Friends,

So glad you stopped by, today I adding a few Patriotic touches above my kitchen cabinets.

This vintage brown rooster I bought at auction at least 25 years ago. I haven't seen another one like it and no marking that I can see. I add pip berries all through out my house.

The blue glass bottles are added to the collection when ever I come across them.

Same with the tins, I'm always on the look out for vintage tins.

This vignette I add a large glass jar with my collections of cookie cutters

In this vignette I added a couple of items I collect. The tin box is a Madel coffee tin 

I added a sprig of ivy in white enamel pan with red trim, I have also had for a long time

The pfefee pepper shaker is the largest shaker in a small collection of these little people shakers

-blue candle in prim candle holder that I have had for a few years

-As you can tell I used a couple of aged books to give a little height to this vignette.

Thank you for stopping by to see some of the patriotic vignette I added to my kitchen.

God Bless you and your Family,

I'm Vicki a Colorado Junkett
