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.

A Small Thrift Haul Looking for Vintage Holiday Décor

 Hi Friends,

This is Thanksgiving Eve!  I haven't be to my favorite antique store in a while and just wanted to check in to look for a few vintage turkeys.  

Didn't find any, however I did find a few things.


A wonderful green metal box, I can't wait to use in my Christmas décor.


Look at this nice brass candle stick I'm going to add it to my small collection of brass candle sticks I already have.
 I also found a cool looking wooden plaque to hang keys possibly?
For $4.00 I picked up a vintage door knob.

And lastly, a little plaque that says, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. AMEM."
I love it!


I was kind of bummed that I didn't find any more vintage turkeys, I'll just keep hunting.

Thank you for stopping by.


May God Bless You and Your Family!

A Little Thrift Haul From my Local Store - Looking for Vintage Holiday Décor

Hi Friends,

Another haul I'm looking for vintage Halloween or Thanksgiving items. I'm not finding what I'm looking for however, I did come home yesterday with a few items I thought I must have.

The little crocks will go nicely with some of my other crocks. 
I was so glad to find the Avon turkey bottle for $1.00. 

The twig wreath I'm thinking might be added to my fall/harvest décor some where not sure yet.

 As you can see I found a home crochet dish towel hanger which is so unique.   

Hey! Check out the Halloween Jack-o-lantern pail I found, it has a mark of 1997 Grand Adventure blow mold who would have figured, I was so surprised!

 I'm putting this jack-o-lantern in my Halloween décor.


I also found quite a few bundles of autumn color florals for my fall/harvest décor,(not that I probably have to many, lol) that I will be adding to the sunflowers I already have out.


Look at this awesome picture frame! I'll probably add antiquing wax to age it more, not sure.


I found a vintage looking plater it wasn't vintage thought, I still think it will look nice on the shelf above my kitchen cabinets

 

A nice red trimmed tray, I'm thinking of stenciling or deco-podge a Santa on it.  The little rocking horse and horse shoe stand I'll be used for Christmas.

*****

This old looking frame caught my eye, I'm thinking about putting this frame in my spare bedroom.


Thank you for stopping by to see the treasures I found this week while thrifting.

So until the next time...

Thrifting for Vintage Home Décor

 

Hi Friends,

 I had a day off so I thought I'd go thrifting! to my local thrift store.

I found a few items that I think  will blend into my vintage farmhouse décor.


The red rimmed tray and the rocking horse I'll be saving for my Christmas décor. I'm thinking adding red/black check fabric for a Christmas vignette. 

This wonderful platter I'm going to put in my kitchen


I looked up the markings on the bottom and found out this platter is Sienna Ware the Crescent China Co with the  'pink flower 1920 pattern'  I just thought it was pretty and I paid $2.00.


I started this vignette with a few of my salt and pepper shakers and a vintage creamer from the 1950's the creamer I have had for .... I don't remember how long.



I purchased another vintage dish this one is quite a bit smaller and oval shape. According to the marks on the bottom of the plate, it is from Knowles, Taylor & Knowles china in the 20's .  This little dish will also find a place in my kitchen.





I played around with another little creamer I thrifted this summer and added another set of salt and pepper.   I like how the pink in the creamer ties in better with the pink flower pattern of the platter.



Thank you for staying and see what I found and how I place the thrifted items in my home.

Until next time.......
May God Bless You and Your Family.

Thrift Haul for March Décor

 Hi Friends,

Today I made a trip to our local consignment store. On my list today, I still am looking for small trinket boxes, vintage green ware, of course rolling pins and crocks and vintage books.  I felt blessed on some of the items I did find.

This green plater for $2.00



Very nice avocado green from the seventies vase I think will look nice in my March- Spring décor. 



This caught my eye because of the rooster design. As you can see its a wine bootie for $1.50. Ill be using these possibly for water glass coasters or I may frame them.  Not Sure?


Cheese cloth I always pick up when I see it,  So many uses, arts & crafts, and also cooking.


I came across this map of the United States puzzle for $1.50 and thought I'll save this for July décor probably as is I have no idea at this time if all the pieces are in the box.


I found this magnetic Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head board  for $ 2.00. I am going to put this in the travel activity bag  for grandkids.  


I have been looking for these cute strawberry boxes and then I found "FIVE"! For $1.50! I believe I'll be saving these for spring décor.



I feel so bless, I have a celluloid vanity dresser set and this mirror is going to look great with the other pieces I have


I pretty excited to have found a couple of new pieces
 to incorporated into my March / Spring décor.

Thank you for stopping by today, so until next time...

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.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I'm up to. May God bless you and your family.

 Until the next adventure,
Vicki
