Vintage Treasure Hunt at My Local Thrift Store

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I went hunting for vintage treasure hunt to my local budget center. 

I'm so excited to share a few vintage items that I found......

I went through the vintage glass and was unable to find anything new.

Next, I dug through the tubs of doilies and discovered this cute yellow trimmed doily.

***

I looked through the photo albums and found four more.

***

Also, found this great Artisan Crafted wooden picture frame. This frame looks like it might have been a burned wood project.

I added a clipping from a vintage song book I have in my craft closet, but I'm not sure if I like this print in the frame, I'll think about it and let you know if I change it out for a different print.

***

I picked a few more sewing items 

a small bag of buttons for $.75, a great variety of colors, plus a few metal buttons. I added the buttons to the big jar in my little sewing nook.

two bags of bias tape, I put some of the bias tape in one of my vintage Ball canning jars, along with red, white and blue tape on cards.

Looking through the bin of thread eye-spied a spool of blue embroidery thread, I was thinking to mix in to the Patriotic/Summer Décor', this year.

***

Lastly,

I found three very cool vintage books...

The 1st book,

 was first published in 1939 - 'Mystery at Martha's Vineyard'

more of a Novel

***

The 2nd book,

   a 1955 reader digest with a couple of very interesting colored advertisements.

I believe I'll be using this book in a July vignette,

 I think it will look great.

***

The 3rd book,

is a 1944 "Sunset's Kitchen Cabinet Recipes" book, volume three

the graphic's in this book are so fun!

That is my thrifted vintage haul this week, I hope I inspired you to get out and thrift. 

I think I found some super awesome treasure that I'll be able to incorporate into my décor this Summer.

  

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......

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.
