Vintage Bird Figurines - Vintage Thrifting - One of my New Vintage Items to Look For.....



Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share these amazing ceramic birds.
I had spied these amazing figurines last week, but I didn't want to pay $6.00 each.
So glad, I was able to pick these up for $3.00 each this week on half price day at my local community budget center.
***
This little 'Royal Copley Bird Figurine' stamped Japan is a amazing find I think.

The yellow/black bird sitting on limb figurine, is a numbered piece made in Japan. Not sure if it's "Lefton" or not.
not a single chip, so beautiful.
***
I found these interesting Bird Shakers at a yardsale.
they have a noise box thats unforunately doesn't work.
I hope I have inspired you to be on the lookout for these Awesome vintage Bird Figurines for you own Spring vignettes.
***
Love this pair of vintage bird s&p ($1.00)
 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by 'My Little Colorado Cottage' 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...... 

May God Bless You and Your Family,

This sweet seller threw in the extra epherema for scape booking or crafts.

Lastly, these adorable tiny dolls,

I just couldn't pass up the vintage 'Indian Cheif Doll' for $8.00, which is a little high for me to spend. I just couldn't resist.

I have been eyeing these cups for a while, they were priced at $2.50 each, today I paid $1.25 each for the black enamel cups.
I'll be using these enamel cups for entertaining on the deck, this summer

I been wanting to get a collection of Blue Currier Ives flatware for some time at a reasonable price.
Today was the day........I've been watching this blue Currier Ives tea cup for sometime, it was priced at $5.00, thinking the price was a bit high for one cup.
Today, I was able to purchase the cup for $2.50
