Friday Thrifting for Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here!  

Today, I'm so excited to share a few awesome treasures, I found out thrifting this week at my local thrift store.

***

First of all,

 I found actually four collective Spoon Caddy's, I brought two home @ $1.50 each. I do plan on sprucing them up so, check back later to see how I'm using them.

***

Next,

I found three older sewing patterns, that I'm thinking about framing for $0.25 each.

***

Another Treasure I found,

Was a Milk Glass Shade for $2.00, I was thinking about a lamp I have in the guest room that has a funky shade that doesn't fit.

***

Then,

I was so surprised to find this cutie, for $1.50!

 Made in Japan

I'll be packing the treasure away for next Easter.

***

These hand made picture holders I just couldn't pass up at $0.50 each.

***

I thought the Framed Artisan Pieces, (image traced on copper) was very cool and will look great in the other guest room that kind of western themed for $0.50.

***

I found another Milk Glass vase for $1.00, this pattern I do not have. It is a Starburst Pattern, just a little different from my other Milk Glass bud vases.

***

Lastly,

I found a not so vintage Wooden Drawer for $3.00, I like the sanded paint on it and for $3.00, I'm using it for a shelf in my sewing nook.

***

 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 hope you enjoyed the treasures I have found today, and would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......

Vintage Thrifting-Linens and a Mother Load of Table Games

 Hi Friends,

This weekend I found some great treasures.  So many treasure I brought home, that I'm splitting my thrift haul up into two posts.

Today I'm sharing this vintage thrift haul over at Vintage Charm Party #351

This first sale I got this box for $12.00. I found a lot of linens that were so unique.

Vintage hankie

I love the three hand embroidered place mats with birds and 7 miscellaneous cloth napkins

Look at this darling embroider tea towel with a pair of kittens, So Cute!

I'm not sure what the embroider cup is used for, but I purchased it because of the delicate stitching.

The lovely green end table scarfs will look great in my seasonal March décor.

A couple more doilies to use in my country/cottage décor

I just love the detail and the time it took someone to do this craft, it should be cherished.

I'm not sure if I'll frame this beautiful piece, I think I might finish it and then frame it.

This particular dish towel catch my eye. I remember my Grandmother had a set of the multiple stripe dish towel

I hung this dish towel on a grater that on the side of a cabinet.

These pretty blue trimmed table scarfs are so cheery pretty I place them on the night stands in a guess room.

Also in that box I stuffed a few trinkets a little blown glass fawn/deer

Two sets of bowlers I think their used for a cake topper.

Glass strawberry, I thought it might be a pendent but there not a way to attach to a chain

Amethyst is my birthstone so I put it in the box 

super excited about the milk glass jar caps I'll be using with my collection of canning jars.

This 3 in 1 wooden handle grater with three extra shredder size plates was a interesting find and a wire spoon

*****

This sweet resin kitchen plaque 

This was given as a wedding gift, I believe the message on the back "Given to Pat and Denmark by Uncle Vere"

Thrifting for Vintage Treasures at Two Local Thrift/Vintage Stores

 Hi Friends,

 I stopped by the local thrift store and found a few treasures I'm excited to show off! 

I saw a vintage sewing machine cabinet very plain with a sewing machine they wanted $150.00 and it didn't work and the cabinet wasn't even pretty. I'm going to give it a couple of weeks or so and go back and give an offer I think.

*******

Local Budget Center Thrift Store

First treasure I found is the terra cotta pots.  I've been collecting terra cotta pot for my herb garden.  When ever I see one reasonably priced I pick it up.  The two pots I found today, were $1.00 for the larger and $.50 for the smaller pot.  I'll be using these two terra cotta pot for herbs in the garden.

******

As I walked in the door of the thrift store, there was a basket filled with cookies cutters priced from $1.50 to $2.75.

I was over the moon when I found these cookie cutter of the Peanuts characters.

  I was charged a total of $6.00 for all 13 cookie cutters.

I have a large jar above the kitchen cabinets that houses my collection of red Tupperware cookie cutters and HRM cookies cutters.

My Grandma had aluminum cookie cutter with the designs to make a gingerbread house I saw the gingerbread man cookie cutter, it brought back great memories cooking with my Grandma.

I have a large aluminum strainer above the kitchen cabinets where I store all of my aluminum cookie cutters, so I just added the new cookie cutter to the strainer. Also I placed the white mug -$.50- as well on the shelf.

 

*****

I have incorporated the little cobalt blue bottle -$1.00- into a Patriotic vignette for Memorial day vignette

*****

The sewing notions and embroidery hoop - all at $.25 each - hoop I placed in my sewing room with some other related sewing items.

*****

The bag of beads and brass bells, I'll stash them with my craft supplies for later use.

Vintage Thrift Store

Of course I had to stop by the local Vintage/Thrift Store to see what was new

I'm working on a laundry vignette and for $1.00, this blue compact clothes line will be a great addition to my laundry room when I get it done you'll be the first to have a look.

*****

I was looking through a box at the store that has a great selection of bottle openers and I found a wooden handle cork screw - $3.00. I have a small collection of bottle openers, I'll be adding to my barware collection 

and possibly the two handle item was - cigar cutter? nut cutter? pickle cutter? I spent a $1.00. Has anyone have one of these?  What is it used for?

*****

The Westcott wooden ruler that I found for $0.50.  I incorporated the ruler on a shelf in my computer area with other vintage school related treasures.

*****

The cute little aluminum sauce pan - $1.00, I picked up was incorporated with other vintage kitchen treasures above the kitchen cabinets.

This was a great haul and the items were not overly priced I don't think. I hope I gave you some inspiration on how to add some of your collected treasure and incorporate them into your every day décor.

My God Bless 
You and Your Family through these trouble times.
