Summer Americana Vignette in the Entry-Room - Vintage Record Player - Tier Tray

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share my handmade tier tray from baking pans!

The top tier of my tier tray is a cake pan.

 As you can see I added a vintage-inspired Patriotic Assemblage I crafted last Summer in a mercury glass-inspired mason jar.

I also incorporated a 'Thrifted Light Blue Vintage Doily', a Hand-Made Cloth poise 

Diy Painted Stars

and a couple of vintage 'Star Shape Cookie Cutters', with a few embellishments.

'Thrifted Army Services Regulation Military' patch, thrifted 'Wooden Thread Spool' with blue logo

and in the back another Diy Poppies

The  second tier is a pie pan, 

on it I've collected 'Wooden Spools' of colored thread,

 'Children Letter Blocks', 

a 'Vintage Jar of Buttons', 

'Vintage Cookie Cutters', 

and a few 'Hand-Made 'Red Poppies', to display on this second tier.

also, I added a Ferry Boat Souvenir 'Tacoma Washington'

(I lived in a small harbor town just across the Pudget Sound from Tacoma).

***

The base of my tier tray is a pizza pan, 

I place vintage 'Aluminum Cookie Cutter'and a 'Vintage Dairy Bottle Cap' 

a pair of 'Whiskey Sour Shot Glass', Cocktail Sticks,

 a set of Children's Metal Jacks, 

 a few Metal Vintage Thread Bobbins and a Vintage Metal Toy Airplane.

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?

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.
