Vintage Thrift Haul - and this is Where I Displayed the Treasure in My Home

 Hi Friends,

I've been thrifting again and I found some real exciting treasures.

I stopped by my local community thrift store to see if there was any treasures to find and I was presently surprise to find vintage hankies .  

I couldn't believe how very cute these hankies are! reminded me of my grandma, The hankies had a price of $1.75 each - I only paid $.50 each. For now I'm displaying the hankies on top of the high-boy dresser in the guest room, very fitting for a girly room.

There were a good collection of S & P, at the store that day. I brought home 5 interesting salt & pepper shakers had a price of $1.50 each - I paid $.75 each.

 I put two sets on a shelf above my kitchen cabinet and paired them with some of brown pottery pieces I have found in past years, bean pot, cheese crock and my small two piece collection of Hull pottery

the pair of salt and pepper shaker with little homesteader is marked "Japan"

The pair of little brown jugs are stink'en cute, I new they would great paired with my other dark brown pottery pieces.

 I was kind of surprised to see the cream lid thermos since its spring,  but hey! Great for me. I display my thermos in a guess room when I'm not using them in vignettes up on the shelf. I paid $2.00 for the thermos.

I think my super favorite find at this store was a cute brushed copper planter with a glass frog in it that I paid $2.00. The frog look to be green, however green putty was holding the frog in the planter. lol 

I grouped the flower frog two others I have on top of a couple of vintage cigar boxes.

I was also excited to pick up two more black enamel door knobs for $1.00, (they had a tag of $1.00 each), to add to the collection. Don't they look great in among the brushed copper pieces?

                                              

I have a Small collection of sewing items, when I spied the spindle for $5.00 I gladly put it in my basket  to display in my sewing area.

I've been picking up kitchen utensils the past couple of months, so when I notice this aluminum funnel/strainer piece for $1.25 it came home with me.

"Louis L' Amour", books I will enjoy reading this summer, and for a dollar a piece, I can read through the books and past it on.

The "Give Thanks", book, I'm putting away till November sometime.

*********

Then I stopped by my local antique/ thrift store 

I found two books, this cute little red books is titled the velveteen Rabbit for $1.00. The yellow book with the title "Threads of Time" prefect for the sewing corner.

I will be holding on to this book to use in my Easter vignettes next year

I also came across a couple of vintage cigar boxes that I thought would be great with my other vintage cigar boxes in a grouping.  The Montecruz 10 count (thin cigar box) I paid $3.00, the Roi-Tan was $6.00.  I probably paid to much for it, the box was in good shape for a cardboard box. funny! I really like how this vignette looks.

At this vintage/thrift store I have seen quite a few terra cotta pot for under $3.00 so today I picked up two. I'm using the pots for my herbs on the deck.

I always look at the dollies, if I can find dollies under $3.00, I usually do these dollies were $1.75. I place dollies under lamps, under small catch all dishes etc., throughout my home.

The funnels and ink well I added to a shelf in office that has a few school items gathered already.

I sure hope you enjoyed my haul today and where I placed these wonderful treasure I found for my home. 

Decorating is all about what you love, so get out there and go thrifting and find home décor you love for a reasonable price.

Thank you friend for stopping by my blog, please check back next week to see some more treasure that I have found to incorporate into my home......

So until the next time.......

Vintage Winter Décor on my Hutch

Hi Friends,

This year I want to add a lot of red ribbon and berries. 

I always add pine cones and greenery into my winter décor, along with a few vintage collectibles.

This year, I also brought back a few of the DIY's projects I have made in past years.

In this cubby vignette, I brought back the Stay at Home sign I made last January.  

Using some of my alphabet blocks spelled out 'WINTER' and 'COZY'. 

On a small silver plate tray I combined the famous a Budweiser Clydesdale horses coffee cup with a string of beads, red berries tiny pine cones. 

Also I shopped my house and found a biscuit tin, Solitaire coffee tin. 

Also in this cubby, I added a deer antler, a blue vintage lunch box and red thermos. 

Another diy project a faux birch-bark candle sitting in an blue enamel cup. 

A vignette isn't complete without a vintage rooster from my collection.

 I decided to add a pewter mug I thrifted and stuck some tree limbs with fir cones to add some interest.

Here I added a few of my cigar boxes, 

using my vintage blocks to spell out cozy, and of course a few chickens, pine cones.

I really enjoy decorating my hutch this year for winter. Over all I think the hutch looks great! However, when it came to decorating the hutch I ran out of green picks. 

So, note to self for next year-- pick up more green Christmas floral picks.

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out what I have been up to, Until the next time....

My God Bless You and Your Family,
