Vintage Treasure Hunt at My Local Thrift Store

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I went hunting for vintage treasure hunt to my local budget center. 

I'm so excited to share a few vintage items that I found......

I went through the vintage glass and was unable to find anything new.

Next, I dug through the tubs of doilies and discovered this cute yellow trimmed doily.

***

I looked through the photo albums and found four more.

***

Also, found this great Artisan Crafted wooden picture frame. This frame looks like it might have been a burned wood project.

I added a clipping from a vintage song book I have in my craft closet, but I'm not sure if I like this print in the frame, I'll think about it and let you know if I change it out for a different print.

***

I picked a few more sewing items 

a small bag of buttons for $.75, a great variety of colors, plus a few metal buttons. I added the buttons to the big jar in my little sewing nook.

two bags of bias tape, I put some of the bias tape in one of my vintage Ball canning jars, along with red, white and blue tape on cards.

Looking through the bin of thread eye-spied a spool of blue embroidery thread, I was thinking to mix in to the Patriotic/Summer Décor', this year.

***

Lastly,

I found three very cool vintage books...

The 1st book,

 was first published in 1939 - 'Mystery at Martha's Vineyard'

more of a Novel

***

The 2nd book,

   a 1955 reader digest with a couple of very interesting colored advertisements.

I believe I'll be using this book in a July vignette,

 I think it will look great.

***

The 3rd book,

is a 1944 "Sunset's Kitchen Cabinet Recipes" book, volume three

the graphic's in this book are so fun!

That is my thrifted vintage haul this week, I hope I inspired you to get out and thrift. 

I think I found some super awesome treasure that I'll be able to incorporate into my décor this Summer.

  

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......

Thrifting for Vintage Cottage Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a thrift haul from my local "Community Budget Center".

The store has been very sparse lately, I think they are doing some 'Spring Cleaning'!

***

As you can see I did bring home a few treasures.....

***

Everyone can always use more Hand Crocheted Doilies, for $0.25 each! RIGHT? 

***

Love how this new doily with yellow crochet roses looks in the 'China Hutch'

***

I couldn't pass up the pair of green hot pads, they will looks great with my seasonal décor.

***

I use red in my kitchen year round so I also picked up the cool red and white hand crocheted hot pad

***

and of course the blue doilies will be used in my Patriotic or Summer vignettes.

I can use the white doilies now throughout my cottage décor.

***

In the games area of the thrift store, I founded seven Packs of 'Casino Play Cards' for $0.50 a pack, thought they would be cool to use in some of my 'Winter Game' vignettes.

***

I'm displaying the group of cards on this shelf in my Den.

***

I was surprised to find another 'Mallard Duck Glass Tumbler' at $0.00, so now it looks like I'm starting another COLLECTION!

***

 I did bring home the 'Souvenir Cedar Trinket Box' for $2.50 I just don't see these much anymore and there great to house my small collections.

I put a collection of 'Wooden Nickel's and Advertising Coins'.
