Wooden Cigar Boxes and Turkey's! - Stopped by my Local Thrift Store

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

 

I'm so excited to share a fun haul from my local thrift store, I could not believe the great prices!

These very cool wooden cigar boxes were $1.00 each and the ash tray was $1.00 also.

I don't think these wooden cigar are very vintage, however I like how they add to my collection. 

***

I picked this Rook Cards $1.50 set for the color and I think it will look great with vintage Halloween display,

the red white labels will be used as labels $.50 or crafting

The silver plate has been pretty high this summer at the thrift store 

I saw these pieces were $3.00 each I grab them up.

 I have a few other pieces of silver-plate... I'm thinking about using for Halloween vignette.

I was excited to find one of these canning baskets ($1.50) to use to display a few of my vintage "Ball' canning jars. I think the basket raises this vignette a notch up, what do you think?

I've been looking for a few more Turkey items for my thanksgiving decor, Today I found some Turkeys ($1.50)

a adorable rubber turkey with a bobble head and a pair of

Napco candle sticks made in Japan

Vintage thrift

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! Today, I'm so excited to share the treasure I found today!

I had a couple things I past up last time I was at my Local Vintage/Thrift Consignment Shop.

As you can see I found a few more treasures.

I was looking for green items to mix into my March décor. I spotted the green geese for $1.00 and the green square ceramic trinket plate for $.50.

***

Don't the green geese look great with this collection of water foul tumblers?

Also in the China Cabinet I used the large pewter platter I gave $2.00 for in this cute vignette of my Vaseline Glass.  I have two platter now and I love the contrast with my green pieces.

***

I picked-up another vintage rusty door lock for $2.00 and place one of the $2.00 postcard pack of 5 in this vignette.

I'll be using the other postcard in my seasonal through out the year
***

Lastly, The super cool "Miss Buffalo Bill" calendar picture for $1.00 I  placed among my potted plants in the spare room. I'm going to try and research "Miss Buffalo Bill to hopefully find a date.

***
These last two treasure I'll be holding on to for later use.

The red, white, and blue throw I'll be using for Patriotic décor I paid $3.00

This wonder silver-plate casserole caddy I paid $7.50, which I think is a supper high price, however I've been watching on that sterling at the Budget Center and they want $15.00.

 I'll be using this tray to corral a couple of vintage books I found on E-bay, when they arrived I'll post a picture.

 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.

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.........

Vintage Winter Décor on my Hutch

Hi Friends,

This year I want to add a lot of red ribbon and berries. 

I always add pine cones and greenery into my winter décor, along with a few vintage collectibles.

This year, I also brought back a few of the DIY's projects I have made in past years.

In this cubby vignette, I brought back the Stay at Home sign I made last January.  

Using some of my alphabet blocks spelled out 'WINTER' and 'COZY'. 

On a small silver plate tray I combined the famous a Budweiser Clydesdale horses coffee cup with a string of beads, red berries tiny pine cones. 

Also I shopped my house and found a biscuit tin, Solitaire coffee tin. 

Also in this cubby, I added a deer antler, a blue vintage lunch box and red thermos. 

Another diy project a faux birch-bark candle sitting in an blue enamel cup. 

A vignette isn't complete without a vintage rooster from my collection.

 I decided to add a pewter mug I thrifted and stuck some tree limbs with fir cones to add some interest.

Here I added a few of my cigar boxes, 

using my vintage blocks to spell out cozy, and of course a few chickens, pine cones.

I really enjoy decorating my hutch this year for winter. Over all I think the hutch looks great! However, when it came to decorating the hutch I ran out of green picks. 

So, note to self for next year-- pick up more green Christmas floral picks.

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out what I have been up to, Until the next time....
