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.

Oh! I forgot about this enamel wash pan I've been watching for over a couple of years the tag had a price of $40.00!

this day I looked at the tag and all you could see was the '4', so I took a chance...

When I got ready to pay for this tub the clerk said you know this is priced at $40.00 

I said it's been around a while, so he offer $20.00 and I agreed. 

I'm not sure if it's really vintage, but I'll be using this tub in my yard for the potted plants.
