Winter - A Few New Vignettes on the Mantel - Snowmen and Red Birds

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share the mantel for Winter

I did leave the red lunch pail and a green tackle box on the mantel from Christmas

I'm loving the Vintage Putz Houses I thrifted last month, so I'm displaying them in my Winter Mantel. 

This cute felt Snowman Ornament is a new find last month amongst a trio of vintage medicine bottles

I decided to add a few of my Milkglass Vase to the vintage Bread Pan for a grouping with another cherished Putz House

I just picked up this cute circular wooden box with the snowmen playing outside.

Also, I grabbed a couple of vintage Mason 'Ball' canning jars to this adorable vignette and yet, another vintage  Putz House

Winter decor is the time to bring out Red Birds, in my opinion.

these two red birds were in a Grab-Bag I found last month with some Christmas ornaments.

The amazing Snowmen were cared by my Step-Dad

I found a adorable winter scene card at my local thrift store.

Shopping For Vintage Treasures-Friday Thrift Haul

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share What I found out thrifting this week.

My first stop this week was my local community thrift store.  There really wasn't much Valentine items  to dig through, but I did find the aluminum cookie cutter in one of the boxes.

I walked over to the glass shelving, were all the small figurines and breakables are displayed and spotted the super cute hand fired, hand painted ceramic

 trinket container! so adorable.

*****

A couple of days ago I stopped by the other thrift store in town that carries more vintage items, their places have double in the past year, but occasionally I do find treasure for under $10.00

*****

First I spotted a face cream Milk-Glass jar w/a plastic tan lid, in the front window of the Vintage-Thrift Store, I'm thinking it's Avon , couldn't find a mark.  I thought it looked great as a riser for a pink depression glass creamer in this Valentine vignette in the China Cabinet.

*****

I also found a few great vintage books for a $1.00 a piece

*****

This super cool wooden hinged box was wrapped in foil

 and there was a cloth bottom, I looked it up.

*****

Oh my! I found some very cool "President Trivia Cards" 

Oh my! I found some very cool "President Trivia Flash Cards"

They look GREAT in this corner shelf.

*****

As a small child I remember getting these jelly jars, I like Grape Jelly the best! I pick up these cute little jars when I see them because they are usually price at $.25-$1.00.

 I have recently are using these cute jars for snippets of plant to grow the roots

*****

 Lastly, the best find this week were this adorable pair of 'Dutch-inspired  Souvenir Dolls'. 

These cuties were not priced, So the owner said what about $10.00, I'm not good at all haggling a price, so I paid the ten dollars. This  amazing pair will go into my small doll collection.

Vintage Wooden Ironing Board

 Hi Friends,

I stopped by my local thrift store today after work. I was looking for vintage Easter, but didn't find any thing, however I did bring home a treasure that I have had my eye on for sometime.

This vintage wooden ironing board has been at my local thrift store for practically three months. Is in great shape and has a new cover and pad it had a price of $15.00. I thought that price was a little high so I have been checking prices on the internet and decided that $15.00 wasn't a bad price.  As you can see it came home with me.

I am thinking about incorporating the wooden vintage ironing board in my tiny laundry area. But I'm  also thinking about using it for a plant stand in the living room, not sure.  That post will be later I think....??

Thank again you for stopping by, I would love to stay in touch.  So be sure to scribe.
