 Hi Friend,

Happy Halloween! 

Today, I'm putting out a few Halloween decoration for the kids, most of the items are thrifted I have a few Vintage pieces, so I thought I would share my small collection.

I am always on the look out for vintage  seasonal décor This year I found a package of Eureka - Beistle felt cats (1960) which was a exciting find

I have collected two of Robert Alan taper candles, unfortunately, (the tapered part was broken) still cute.  A few little scarecrows, a vintage looking cat bucket, pez witch, sparkly witch shoe, etc.

I wasn't sure about the purchase of the cloth cat, but I added it with the rest of my Halloween cat collection.

Fall has moved onto my Hutch - Decorate with Me -Thrifted Vintage Décor

 Hi Friends,

I had some time today to add a few fall touches to the top of the hutch, by bringing in a diy pumpkins sign, I made last fall.

 Using Waverly Antiquing wax I added a little weather aging to this faux pumpkin and I harvested some poppy seed pods from my garden and painted them.

A thrifted lunch box and oil can was added to the top of the hutch for some rustic charm.

I need to add a rooster here and there. and I have been collecting amber bottles, my collection is increasing.

I love to add bittersweet, sunflower

black/white check homespun

Harvest-  seeds, wheat  

The wheat is new this year I thrifted two large bundles about a month ago so I added a clump to the large clear jug.

My God Bless You and Your Family!

Thrifting for Vintage Farmhouse Décor

Hi friends,

 I've been thrifting again and WOW! the things I found! I was so excited finding some of these treasures.

This little mirror I will be adding to my mirror grouping in a guest room.  The crocheted little dress I will be displaying also in the guest room.

I have been collecting nesting boxes here and there for a while so I picked up a trinket box.  It will need to be painted painted and maybe some embellishments added not sure yet. 

The nut cracker and melon spoon I will add to a basket.

These yellow and tan covered books will be added to my stash for later use possibly this fall décor.

Later the same day I went to out local antique store and picked up these interesting trinkets. 

The mason trowel was $3 the little oil can was $5, the rooster I think is part of a weather vane? was $1,  the whale ornament was $1. 

 I was digging in a box of tools when I found this interesting bottle opener it had a price of $8, which is over what I would spend, but I thought this was very unique and I will keep in my collection of barware.

Oh when I saw this glass candy bowl, I was in awe.  My grandmother had a dish just like it, always had small hard candy in it, oh the memories.

I've always have my eyes out for little perfume bottles.  

I believe I spent not more than $1 to $3 for each one. 

The little bottle that has a lid was so cute even though it doesn't have the original top.   

I will be putting these little bottles on a tray to sit on a shelf in the guest bath, I think or the guest room vanity.

Every where you look in social media I see Junkets picking up little basket to hang on shelves, so for $.25 

I picked up the two little gold basket that I will be painting and the larger basket was $.50. 

I also thrifted the wood nut bowl, I do have another one so I can use it as a riser in my fall or winter décor.

Some weeks there's not much out there, but I feel I found some great treasures this week.  Super excited to incorporation them into my décor.

Thank you for stopping by. Until next time ...

May God bless you and your family.

Thrifting out of Town for Farmhouse Decor

Hi Friends,

Thank you for stopping by My Little Colorado Cottage to see what I have been doing

Well, I went to visit my Mom this weekend and had the opportunity to go thrifting at a thrift store "Deseret Industries" and found some wonderful things. The thrift store had a amazing children's book collection so of course I had to pick them up.

 $2.00 for this vintage looking Christmas album

each of these books were a $.85 except for the Nancy Drew I paid $4.00

I just love the graphics of the older books

I found a rolling pin for $3.50 to add to my kitchen décor

I always pick up older canning jar. This vintage jar I believe is a pint jar for $1.00, didn't have a lid, but I keep looking never know what you find out thrifting.

I try to pick up use baseball when ever I see them for my summer décor

Now I have two whole nut trays I need to start looking for utensils

I had a wonderful time thrifting out of town and I feel I found some great finds.  I'm so thrilled to find the children's books.  What was your find?

So until next time,

May God Bless you and your family.

Thrifting for Treasures

Hi Friends,

February is here again and I have the itch to visit my local thrift store.  My main reason is to find some discounted Valentine items, but if something catches my eye I may bring it home.

 Years ago I decorated with copper items but they were super expensive.  Lately I have seen copper items showing up in the farmhouse décor, so I picked up these copper jello mold  for  $2.00 each.

I figure I can never have enough paper heart dollies for $0.30 around, with kids in the house.

I don't think this valentine package is vintage, however when do you ever see Woody the Woodpecker item?  So I had to pick this item up for $2.00.

I picked up these very darling hot pads for 25 cents a pieces

A metal box either a cash box or a fishing box, but how cool! I paid $5.00.  Not sure how I will be displaying these items, but will keep you informed.

Thank you so much for taking your time to stop by and see what I have been up to. 

Until next time, God Bless You,

Went Thrifting in July Found Vintage Fabric Napkins

Thrifting is one of my favorite things to do.

This is the last week of July and I want to show you, my great finds this month.

This Mount Rushmore tray was a interesting find.  I'm hoping to incorporate it into my patriotic decor.

Here are four cloth napkins with an interesting design that I'll be putting a side for next spring

Red checked napkins for summer

I could not past this item up.  Who knew? A red pillow case with Embroidered pink hearts.  I will be putting this into my Valentines decor tub for next year.

 

I may restyle this pillow case as a table runner I'll see.

I saw this box last time I went thrifting and didn't pick it up so.... this time I thought I needed it even though I do not need sewing machine attachments  This is a vintage Deluxe Zigzag Attachments Sewing Machine 18 Cam Patterns in a Pink Box.

 I'll be using the box for other sewing items

A cute chicken pitcher that I may paint, not sure yet.

I was super surprised to find these items. Which was your favorite?  I think the pitcher is my favorite.
