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.

Valentine Decor DYI - Button Hearts

 From my thrift haul in January, I pick a set of three paper hearts on a ribbon to use for this project.

I decided to paint them with Waverly white chalk paint.  I have a stash of buttons and choose colors of white, tan, pale pink, and faded red. Then I glued them about a quarter inch in from edge.

This is how I used the hearts in my February decor.  On my coat closet I have hung a small twig wreath and added one of the hearts. 

This year I'm using a lot of the black and white check material in my decor.  Here I took a picture frame added the black and white check material to the card board backing of the frame and attached a button heart on the material, I also added a heart from a material I have in my stash.

I think this project turned out nicely and didn't cost me much.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

DYI - Valentine Wreath "'Dollar Tree" make over

Using a grapevine wreath I had, I added some of the Black and White Checked material and thin red ribbon and wrapped around the grapevine wreath. 
Next I added some of the little wooden hearts that I bought at "The Dollar Tree" that were a welcome sign and chalk painted white

and also added the letters to spell the word love from the yard of  black and white checked fabric, using stencils I had in my craft supply box.

I used wide popsicle stick from Walmart and laid out the letter heart out and glued to popsicle stick, then attached it to the ribbon on the grapevine wreath to get a 

I added a bow made from the 2 inch wired burlap ribbon from "The Dollar Tree "store and a 2 inch strip of the black and white checked fabric.  I think I should have added another black and white checked ribbon on top of the burlap bow.

I hope I gave you some decor  ideas to implement into your home decor for February.

Thank you for stopping by
