I Found Some Christmas Decorations.... PLUS ......a Fun Find! Box of 1950's - 1970 Ephemera - Yard Sale Weekend

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share Christmas Decor! I found out yard selling this weekend.

All Christmas items for $5.00!

There were 4 or 5 cases of 1 1/2" or 2" multiple color ornaments! 

I've accumulated so many ornaments in the past year out thrifting, I didn't think I needed any more!

 However, I've gotten into making vintage inspired assemblages for the holidays, so I can justify buying 3 boxes, RIGHT?

***

-Christmas Jingle Bells-

I've been collecting little brass bells to make a Brass Christmas Bell Wreath for some time... for the prices I couldn't pass over the Jingle Bells.

***

-Red Faux Velvet Christmas Bows with Little Bells-

For crafting or to add to Christmas presents.

I thought the Holly Tin will look great as a riser in a Christmas vignette later this year.
***

-Christmas Crafting-

Faux Satin ornaments are great for crafting along with the confetti Santa's for assemblage's

 the Santa Garland was interesting. I'll probably cut out individual Santa's to make stickers or adorn Christmas presents.

***

-Ephemera!-

If you remember a month ago I stopped by this 'once a month' yard sale and only bought 2 magazines for $2.00 each. 

As you can see the box of Mechanic Illustrated Magazines was still there.

Got got the box of 65 magazines for $25.00.

Tobacco advertisement's that I'm thinking I may frame and add to my vintage tobacco collection

I think this was a good bargain.

-For a Collection-

older green/blue mason jar for $5.00 will go into the Ball Jar collection.

 I would love to hear what you have been up to this week.

 So until my next post......

Thrifting for Vintage Home Décor Treasures - Yard Sale Friday

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm sharing a rather small yard sale haul not many yard sale this weekend and unfortunely, not much vintage to be found, 

However.........

I have been on the hunt for used planters and at the....

First yard sale,

I found 3 tall planter for a $1.00 each, two square tan planters for $.25 each

I've had quite a few flower start waiting to be planted.

***

I also picked up a vintage spice rack for a $1.00 at this yard sale, 

FYI...I have been collecting spice bottles for quite some time,

to hold sewing notions in my sewing nook, and was looking for a cabinet. SCORE!!

***

Another sale,

I found two vintage books for $.25 each and a planter for $2.00, I'm always gifting plant starts, so it's nice to have extra small planters.

The 1st unique book,

 is a book by Art Linkletter - Kids Say the Darndest Things!

I believe I was in middle school, when this TV show  aired on Saturday nights in 1967, I think.

***

The second vintage book, 

I'm sure you all have seen the Movie 'True Grit' ? that came out in 1969 with John Wayne and Glen Campbell,

anyway I found this book by Charles Portis called 'True Grit', copyright 1968. SUPER COOL!

I've added the amazing novel in a old west vignette, I have on the shelf in a spare room.

***

The last sale I stopped by had quite a few boxes of pint jelly jars for $2.00 a box. I just couldn't leave those jars behind at that price.

and I do have a garden that, some years produces quite a few tomatoes that I will be harvesting.

 I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week.

August thrift finds

I just don't know where my time went during the summer.  I hadn't done much yard selling this summer, but I did stop by one this weekend and look what I found!

I'm not sure where I'm going to put these things, but Ill be sure to show you if I find a place for the items in my house.

I liked the simplistic of the carvings and I have been looking for a glass cube, ( I know that is not the correct name). The little white shelf was just cute so I had to have it.

I'm always on the look out for Christmas decorations, you can never have enough Christmas decorations.  I picked up a box of twinkle lights, a box of pine cone picks with silver bells on them, and a box of red felt bows plus a box of old notebooks and binders that I sure I will use for my binder systems for my projects.

Have a great week!
