Christmas Thrift Haul - Home Décor

Hi Friends,

I went shopping again, to my local thrift store. Unfortunately, I only found one Christmas item.

I have been following a few of my favorite you-tubers that have a very nice collection of these little Christmas choir boy candles.  I think it is made by Gurley Candle Company. While going through several tables of Christmas items, I know I pasted over this little candle several times before I realized what it was and picked it up.


there is no tag or markings on the bottom.
 

I also picked up a box of glass ornament made in the USA for $2.00


These other items are more home décor.

LOL, I have so many of these zip lock bags in my house that have little odds and ends, I find while cleaning. I really don't know why I picked up this bag of board game pieces, you never know when you might need a spare game piece.


This is the first cutting board that I have found that is in descent shape, for $3.00.


I found one of these cook books last summer, that I gave to my youngest daughter, this one is to replace our paperback, that has seen better days. The pages are falling out.





When I saw these Campbell Soup thermos I was thrilled, last year I purchased a Campbell soup gift pack with a tray and soup cup. I'll be adding these thermos to the crate. So cute!


I was super surprised that I found these next two pieces, because it seem copper is the item to look for to use in farmhouse décor.  This cute vase needs a little cleaning up.


For the both of these copper pieces I paid $1.50 each.



Thanks for stopping by today, to see what I found at my local thrift store. This was a fun haul!

May God Bless You and Your Family.

Hunting for Vintage Treasure in June

 Hi Friends,

I went on a treasure hunt this week and look at what I found. I found some items to add to my Patriotic theme for July.

The placemat I will add to the other I use for the 4th of July.  When I saw the bread pans I had to buy them I saw a You-tuber use the pans to display bottles, or caddies.

I couldn't believe I found the flag cookie cutters.  I was so excited to find the cookie cutter, can't wait to make flay shape cookies for July.


I have two rolling pin I've had for many years.   Lately, rolling pin have been all the rage with the farmhouse décor, that I have started collecting rolling pins with the different handles.


Tiny baskets with long handle is something I'm always on the look out for, to hang from a shelf.  

This small cut glass round dish caught my eye, I may use it with bowl fillers or candy on a end table.  

I also spotted some wooden spoons to add to a jar above the kitchen cabinets.
 
The metal basket, cup, and sugar tong caught my eye because of the patina, I use tarnish aluminum or silver plate a lot through out my house.  I'm not sure how I'll use these three items yet in my décor.


I always pick up checked fabric, I also saw the red paint handle bread slicer, I had to pick it up.

Silver plate flat ware is something new for me to look for. I have been intrigued by the different patterns.


I picked up this cute wooden caddy for 3.00 I'm not sure if Ill leave it the way it is or paint it.

 I also found a couple of little amber bottles and then I found this amber jelly jar!

  I've been also collecting jelly jars, I'm not sure why.. but, I found one that has a amber tint. I will probably save for my fall décor.

  I couldn't by pass floral tape for $.25. I can always use find a project to use floral tape.


Hand painted wooden bowl, I believe in a Mexican floral? It is so beautiful I'm not sure if I'll paint over it or just keep it as is, and use the platter for entertaining.


WOW what a great haul today I feel I found the mother lode. what a wonderful day!

So until next time.......

May God Bless you and your family.
