Autumn Among My Vintage Collections

Hi Friends, 

 Today, I'm so excited to share how I'm adding some Autumn touches to some of my vintage collections.

***

This Fall season I'm using pumpkins, acorns, pinecones, fall pip-berries and color leaves.

***

As you know I love thrifting for vintage treasures, and I really like picking up vintage jello molds ...........

........in this cubby I made a little pumpkin using two molds for the pumpkin and a vintage glass drawer knob as a stem

 I do love milk glass, usually priced fairly and easy to find (my collection is growing).

I have always enjoyed finding vintage canning jars, they are reasonably priced at $2-4's and not to hard to find.  My favorite jars are the lavender color jar, they are a little harder to find.

Over 30 years ago I started collecting "Hull's" brown drip pottery.  The year I was married (1980) I had a nice table setting gifted to us from my mother-in-law. I used it for many years. 

Unfortunately, I gave it away.

Now I'm collecting it again, go figure?

 So until my next post......

Vintage-Inspired Fall Decorating - Making a Few Changes on the Hutch

Hi Friends, 

I'm so glad your here!

It's time to change-up the hutch in my entry-room for Autumn.

As you can see I left the picnic basket and stuffed it with fauz pumkins some bitter-sweet and a diy felt crow.

I have choose to use kind of bright color, orange yellow, green and a bit of red. Also incorporated a few new thrifted vintage treasures

Brass planters, 

diy, jello mold Pumpkins

faux pumpkins with upcycle stems,

a new pair of Hen & Rooster S&Ps

thrifted faux acorns

thrifted 'Fire-King' mug

***

I gathered up a couple of the Fall colored Thermoses

to add to the mix.

Vintage Thrifting Friday!

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! The yard sale were sparse today.

But, I did find a couple of treasures to add to my many vintage collections!

so, here we go! 

First,

I spied this packet of individual 'create a craft' all the pieces were cut out and in little baggies. All you had to do is glue together.

This will be a great project for the grand kids when they visit.

 Second,

was these adorable crochet pot holder. I'll be placing them into my seasonal decor.

While digging through boxes I found my......

Third treasure,

 a nice pair of darning scissors.

I do not know about you, BUT....

 I always find some kind of treasure when I'm thrifting.

Fourth treasure,

 Is a adorable light blue vintage powder box, maybe from the 40's? 

It really doesn't go with what I have

who knows, maybe I can find some more pieces of this vanity set.

***

I also found this amazing aged vintage book, love the worn red color!

and will look great as a riser for my decor. 

***

Fifth treasure,

to be found were these cute metal Santa coasters and a set of 6 crochet Red coasters 

and the cute "Christmas in Love" tin with a pair of cute Bunnies

*****

These items are not vintage but, you can never have to much Red, White, and Blue decorations! Am I right??

a dozen small cloth American flags, starry wired ribbon, sparkly Red, White, and blue garland and a roll craft mesh .

I'll put this bundle of patriotic away for next year.
