Vintage Vignette using Thrifted Silver-Plate and Pewter on the Mantel for June

 

Hi Friends,

Today I'm re-styling the mantel for June,  I replace the nests with eggs and the diy bird houses with vintage pieces that I've had for many years from around the house.

I love using this diy CountryFarmhouseWreath through out the summer months. You may remember seeing this wreath displayed in my May post "Early Vintage Summer on the Mantel". 

I gathered a few thrifted green books to add more color and interest.

 I love using this very sentimental piece of pottery in vignette, because my oldest daughter made it, when she was in middle school about 20 years ago.  

The pewter platter in the back of this vignette was thrifted last fall.

A couple of silver-plate pieces I pulled from other parts of the house to add another layer to the mantel

In this area of the mantel I rearranged the Hens a little and placed a vintage glass door knob on top of the thrifted books.

If you remember the dilemma I had over this awesome horn mug.

 for a while at my local vintage thrift store trying to decide whether I should pick it up or not.

Silver-Plate platter are just a nice vintage treasure to have, their very versatile to use in a vignette. But the nice use of this large platter is for cookies at Christmas time.

If your interested in the diy tutorial of either of the garland check out my post Black and White Check Garland.

I want to thank you for checking in, please check back any time.  I'm trying to post every week with a thrift haul vignettes of where I show off the treasures I find and a few pic's at seasonal home decorating in and outside my home.

Until next time.........

Decorate with me....... Small Area of the Living room with Some of my Collectibles

Hi Friends,

Today I'm playing around with a vignette on a book shelf in my living room.  I gather a couple of my vintage chickens, some of my gramma's measuring cups, a jadeite salt shaker, a metal recipe box my son Mod Podge way back in high school, one of my brass candle sticks, a couple of vintage cookie, and a dark green depression glass salt shaker.

So lets see how I rearrange these pieces to find the prefect arrangement.

Changed it up a bit by adding a rusty tin for a riser

I'm loving this little vignette I put together for summer.

Thank you for stopping by.  Let me know what you think?  Is it the milk glass vase or the brass candle stick?

Until the next time .....

May God Bless You and Your Family.

Country Farmhouse Vintage Styled Mantel for February

Country Farmhouse Vintage Mantel

Hi friends, 

This year I brought out some of my projects from the past and some vintage pieces I have collected over the years.  As you can see I am still liking how the black and white fabric adds a little bit of farmhouse feel.  A thrifted milk glass, a couple of diy sign projects, fabric hearts, red bird, paper heart touches and dried roses.

In this area of my mantel I added a few vintage bottles a couple of diy heart projects from a couple of years ago, heart shape tea cake mold and a tea stained red strip fabric garland to compliment the black and white check homespun.  the little girl is a vintage valentine print. I just love using vintage prints through out my home décor. 

Here on the mantel I added a farmhouse salt shaker hen I picked up at a yard sale, a vintage Hazel Atlas quart jar and some homespun tried around the zinc lid. I put some of my dried roses my sweet husband gives me on my birthday into a mercury looking jar, I picked up at Dollar Tree. A vintage vintage print and two diy heart project.

I have another vintage rooster That I have collected a candle stick I thrifted last year added a jar on top with pip berries an d tied some homespun around the neck of the jar.  A few kids alphabet blocks is added for whimsical touch.

I brought out of my stash a vintage tea pot and put more of the dried roses and added some more homespun the white hen I picked up in January at a thrift store it wasn't marked, but I believe it adds a nice touch to my Valentine mantel. Standing in front of a diy moss cover twig heart I thrifted and upcycled.

The heart box I thrifted last February and upcycled with a vintage look. The "Follow Your Heart" sign is also a diy I made to look farmhouse.  The silver plate candle stick is another thrift find. 

I hope you enjoyed how I styled my mantel this year. My husband gets me roses for my February birthday along with Valentines Day, of course I dry them, so I have quite a few bundles of roses to add to my décor this year.

Thank you for stopping by My Little Colorado Cottage to see how I'm styling my mantel for February.

God Bless You,
