Vintage-Inspired Valentine Vignette on My Vintage RCA Record Player


Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm arranging the top of my vintage RCA record player.
***
This vignette I used a rustic nut bowl as a riser with a oval wooden picture frame as a platter to group a the amazing California Pottery vase, I added rose pedal to a vintage Mason Jar, and a Milkglass refridgerator dish with a few small pinecones. 

The cute '1941' Doggie Valentine is one of three vintage Valentine I purchased on a on-line auction.

***
In the center I used a vintage Silver-Plate platter and group another vintage Mason Jar and a purchase, a Silver-Plate covered sugar bowl. For a bit of interest, I also added a cute vintage cookie cutter and a few glass door knobs.
***
In the third grouping I also incorporated a vintage Mason Jar filled with Eucalyptus stems, and diy 
Last Feburary, I won a small lot of vintage Valentine Card, (on a online auction) that I have added to these groupings.
This adorable Valentines Card dates back to '1929'


'1936' is the date on this super nice Valentine Card.


Last January, I made a few adorable Paper Mache Snowmen for my Winter vignettes.

I hope I gave you inspiration in styling your thrifted treasures.

 Thank you so much 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......

Vintage-Inspired Winter Decor on the Hutch


Hi Friends, 

Today, I'm making a few changes in my Entry Room, starting with the top of my Shelving Unit for the new year. 
***
I started by bringing a couple of vintage Budwiezer Mugs, I thought would fit with the winter theme, from down stairs and a pair of vintage ice-skates.

***
I'm glad your here to share the small touches I added to my Winter decor on the Hutch in my entry-room, just a few diy frosted pinecones, a few winter greens add a since of winter.
***
I looked around my house and found deer antlers to incorporate into this vignette,
also added a pair of vintage restaurant-ware coffee mugs for a cozy touch.
***
As you can see I left the rusty crusty lantern and just added pinecones

***

I left the vintage picnic basket, red throw and a few vintage red thermose, again for that cozy winter feel.
***

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what I have been up to.

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

 So until my next post......

I paid $1.00 each for this pair of 'Bloody Mary' glasses, they will be a nice gift for a friend.

These cute 'Interpur' candles were 50 cents each


vintage string light replacement large bulbs, for $.50 will look great in a jar or basket vignette


Super cute ceramic Lefton holly shoe for $1.00, that will look great with a berry pick 

the adorable cheese/butter spread knife with a Nut Cracker handle was not priced (not charged).
The of course, I couldn't leave behind the crochet doily for $ .30.

I actually found a few putz houses! I couldn't believe it There were four total!

Vintage Thrifting in St Louis, Illinois

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 
I've been on a road trip this past week to visit my youngest Daughter and her family.

Today, I'm so excited to share a few treasures I brought home from St. Louis. I did have a list of items I wanted to look for on this trip, however I didn't get a lot of time to shop. Family came first.

***

I thought this was a super cool vintage song book, for $2.00

This vintage song book have songs like - "America, The Beautiful" - "My Old Kentucky Home" - "Standin' in the Need of Prayer" -"We're Marching to Zion" - "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" - Copyright 1928

I have the sweet song book on my vintage Clarophonic record player
***
When I saw these Budweiser Christmas mugs, I had to buy them to add to my small collection of Christmas mugs.
The mugs were in two different booths, I paid $10.00 for this '1990 An American Tradition mug.


And the 1992 A Perfect Christmas mug I paid $13.99


I ended up already having a 1990 mug, so now I have two! lol

***
I saw this Ball Jar for $4.00 it has a large crack, but I don't care, I'll be using it for décor.

A no. 12 on the bottom
I'm guessing the date might be 1923-1933?
***
I also spotted this 2 1/2" spiked metal flower frog for $12.00, the price was a bit high but, I have two thrifted stores in my tiny town and you just don't see flower frogs much.
There is no date or manufacture stamp on it.
***
 
Lastly, I picked up a Art-Deco green vase with gold strips for $5.00. I believe it fits in the same eara with a vase I bought last summer that was yellow with the gold stripes

***
I had such a great time visiting my youngest daughter and her family over the Easter weekend.
***
 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found on my travels to St. Louis. 
***
 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......
