Today, I'm so excited to share  a few treasures I purchace at a on-line sale.

I was excited to be able to bid on two wooden cheese boxes for a pretty good price - $5.00 each.

Right now I'm using the 'Kraft Brick' wooden cheese boxes in my Summer Vingettes on the Mantel

*** 

When the pack of 'Praying Hands Sticker' came up for bid........

 it took me back to the days of Sabbath School when I was little,  we would get sticker for attendence

do you remember these stickers?

This sweet seller threw in the extra epherema for scape booking or crafts.

Lastly, these adorable tiny dolls,

I just couldn't pass up the vintage 'Indian Cheif Doll' for $8.00, which is a little high for me to spend. I just couldn't resist.

1950's St. Labre Indian Catholic School.

I have a room for the Grandkids when they come to visit and I display my collection of nostigic Old West paraphernalia

This cute little 1950's 3" plastic 'Baby Boy Doll' I purchased for $3.00 to add to a few other plastic 3" dolls that I have with different poises.

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

We have had rain storms for the past couple of days, so I thought I'd stop by my local thrift store and found some fun treasures!

First items,

were a few milk glass vases for $1.50 and a planter/urn for $5.00 each to add to my collection.

Then, 

I picked-up two little fancy vases that will look great on the vanity in the guest room.

Art-Nouvean 'Rose Relief' vase.

I was very excited when I noticed these three vintage 'Ball' rubber sealing rings used in canning food. The color of the boxes look great added to this vignette on the cubby unit in my entry room.

Beautiful 'Fall color' - USA California Pottery planter for $3.00, will look amazing with fall florals. Right now, I just filled the planter with some rusty crusty springs.

Friday Vintage Thrifting

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share some interesting treasures I found at my local vintage/thrift store, all of this for $23.20

***

'The Three Musketeers' book I sat ,here on the shelf with many other vintage children books I've collected.

The 'Three Musketeers copy right 1958 was a great find for $5.00

***

I have been watching the bag of 4 vintage hard wood caster for vintage furniture plus 3 more for a total price of $4.00, that I have been watching for some time.

I found three single casters and threw them in and offer $4.00 for all seven wheels and the owner was okay with that price. 

COOL!

I thought they would look great in a jar, box, and even a toy tractor-trailer.

***

The bag of buttons were a great find I thought for a $1.00, because they have been quite a bit higher in the past , Like $5.00!

Look at these buttons the are amazing, I'm wondering if the cream color buttons might be made of shell or bone?

And the black buttons 'Bakelite'?

***

This green vintage trinket dish was super cool, was really hoping it might be Uranium Glass, unfortunately not uranium glass for $3.00.

for the time being I'm using the vintage green dish to hold the new button for display, that I paid $3.00. 

***

I spotted this cute creamer with birds! very cool! I'll be using this creamer in my Fall décor

Made in England $5.00

***

I loved these three crocheted pot holder blue for Summer, orange trim for Fall, and yellow trim for Spring. The hot pad are very nicely made, love this find, at $1.00 each.

I kept the blue trim pot holder for for my Summer Décor 

***

I found two more 'Cookie Cutters'!, Ill be displaying the spaded cookie cutter with my other aluminum cookies cutters. I paid $0.50

 The Count Von Count, cookie cutter I paid $0.25, will be boxed away for October, so cute.

***

The bag of hair pins for $2.00 are super cool , but I chose this bag for the cute Duck Burette.

I wonder if the the brown hair pins are 'Bakelite'?

These super interesting group of hair clips are cool for $2.00.  

Look at this cute little duck hair clip.

***

I found another piece of green glass for $1.00 wondered if it had some uranium, but it didn't BUMMER!

I've got it displayed on the Hutch in a cubby.

***

Three more treasure I forgot about!

A terra-Cotta Planter with tray for $1.50 that I'm using on my front porch.

AND 

A amazing treasure! vintage

Brass Water Nozzle, for $2.00
