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. 

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......

Happy July 1st Been Thrifting Again - at a few Yard Sale -Oh My the Treasures I Found

 Hi Friends,

Today I went to 4 yard sales and was so surprised with yard sale prices! 

Lanterns are on my list of treasure to look for and look I found "3" the large lantern $8.00 I was surprised that the two lanterns had the glass globes intact.  The small red for $3.00 and the little patriotic lantern $2.00 and had fuel in it. 

 Thermos are another item I look for, I believe I got the green Thermos free and I saw the larger water cooler, I paid $6.00 for it. 

This green Thermos fit right in with the collection.

*****

1970 Anchor Hocking oil lamp is so cute I added it to a shelf in the corner of the kitchen. Note because I will be using the cute lamp as décor I replace the lamp oil with color water. Love It!

*****

Right now I have the cool green water jug sitting on the beverage cart. Going to use it for ice tea on '4th of July' afternoon get together to watch fireworks.  

The lantern I'm pairing up with two other lanterns I've had for a while.

*****

Christmas platters for $1.00 each and the large plate is a 50's or 60's fiberglass Christmas planter.  I'll be stashing them away until Christmas.

*****

All of these item were thrown in for FREE!

I was so thrilled.

 

I'll be adding the church keys to the collection, for now I'm using this key rack to display my collection of vintage bottle openers. 

*****

I have a vintage jar that needs a zinc milk glass lid.  I thought the lid would fit on the ATLAS Mason jar, but as you can see it didn't. 

oops I need to dust

This Ball jar doesn't have much of a brim, but maybe the lid will fit.

*****

The pocket watch will be put into a vignette along with the advertisement change pocket for now on a night stand.

*****

 The wire tray is for cooking over open fire, maybe for fish, so I'll be putting it into our camping gear. 

*****

At another garage sale

 I found a framed Snoopy picture $1.00, I have been a big fan since the late 60's of Snoopy items, I pick them up now and then if the price is right.

Also a blue because of the color, but not very aged book, but for $.50 I couldn't pass it up.

Also, at this yard sale, for $5.00 I picked up the shutters there red I think I'll paint them chalk paint even though I do like red. You'll have to stop by in a day or two to see how I'm using the shutters.

*****

Yard Sale #3

I'm looking for Patriotic treasures right?  I was not disappointed. There were 3 to4 different patriotic patterned napkin set.

I picked up five red, white, and blue star napkins to use at the 4th of July get together to watch fire works.

The cute bibs I thought to frame them in grandkids bed room.

 The green and orange yellow bandanas will be put away until fall.

Oh man the hair pins my mother used hairs like that

hair style.

*****

I just had to pick these three game books up, I think my vintage poker chip rack and dice make a nice vignette.

*****

Yard Sale #4

 I didn't take a picture - they had boy clothes so I stopped and I did pick up 3 pair of nice wranglers pant and a John Deer sweat shirt for one of the grandsons for $4.00.

If you have checked a few of my post I do like Hens and Rooster. I spotted this beauty! $2.00

I place this beautiful wooden hen in the herb wagon, I herbs by seed aren't growing very fast as you can see.  I do have dill but the cilantro and parsley are kind of delayed.

Last item was this awesome Nursery Rhymes vintage book. I love the illustration in vintage books.

I want to thank you for making my blog part of your day, please check back any time. I'm trying to post at least every two weeks, with thrift hauls, vignettes of where I show off my thrifted treasures, and a few peek at my seasonal home decorating in and outside my home.

Until next time....

Thrifting for October

 Hi Friends,

Today I stopped by my local thrift shop to see if I could find and vintage Halloween décor, but to my dismay I didn't find anything.

I did find a grab bag for $1.50 full of stick on mustaches.  I did find a few items for a costume idea I have, two nice throw blankets, another grab bag with funny glasses.

As you can see I did find a little copper canister for $2.00 and a bag of Styrofoam balls for $075

This grab bag of Halloween items was also $1.50

Not much of a haul, but some times that happen. Anyway, I think I can use some of the item at Halloween time we'll see.

Until next post......

May God Bless You and Your Family.

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
