Vintage Thrift Shopping - Looking for Vintage-Inspired Treasures for My Cottage Home June 1, 2024


Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a new purchase this week!


I've been watching this 4 pieces set of 'Currier & Ives' dishes for more than two months. They were priced at $3.00 to $5.00 a piece depending on the size.
***
Today I got the small set of 12 pieces for $4.00! 

4 - Dinner Plates



4- Bread and Butter Plates

4 - Soup Bowls











4 - Cup Saucers


Unfortunately there were no coffee cups


 



However, I had picked up a coffee cup a couple of months ago from my local thrift on half-price day.

So now I'm on the hunt for 3 more coffee cups!
I hope I have given you some ideas of treasures you can keep your eye out when thrifting.

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...... 
May God Bless You and Your Family.

Looking for Vintage Treasures - Weekend Thrifting


Hi Friends, I'm so glad you stopped by the cottage!

 I'm so excited to share a few fun treasure I found at my local Community Budget Center on half price day.
***
I bought a few books as you can see for 50 cent each.......

1st book - "The Holy Bible" is a few years old 
very pretty inside section for recording inportant family milestones


a beautiful picture representing 'Jacob's Ladder'

some fun vintage epemera pieces were also found in the pages




2nd book - "Nancy Drew" were the go to mystery read, when I was in Junior High. I read every book the library had.

"The Haunted Bridge" found a home with a very small collection of Nancy Drew Mysteries, I have.


3rd book - "Baptist Hymnal"



I've been looking for vintage Hymnal
to use for crafting and I have found two so far this year.
 



***
I was kind of a funny surprise to see the prices on the vintage insulators .....
the larger insulator was priced at $5.00 as is with a good size chip on the bottom. 

I didn't mind because I'm adding them on my fence post in the back yard.
***
Lastly,
I found a vintage glass decanter.

Not long ago, decanters use to be fruitful at the thrift stores, but once I've been on the hunt for reasonably priced decanter, there hard to come by. 

I'm hoping in the near future I'll be able to share an up cycle cabinet I brought home a few years ago
***
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by 'My Little Colorado Cottage'. I hope you found some inspiration to get out vintage thrifting.

 I would love to hear what you think about the treasures I found this weekend

 One of my Grandsons love to Juggle, I saw this book and thought of him.
***

I also, spied the two useful glass measuring cups, the large two cups is a FireKing for $1.50
and the one cup is a Pyrex for $1.00
I may use for decor above the kitchen cabinets
***

I have been eyeing these cups for a while, they were priced at $2.50 each, today I paid $1.25 each for the black enamel cups.
I'll be using these enamel cups for entertaining on the deck, this summer
***
I been wanting to get a collection of Blue Currier Ives flatware for some time at a reasonable price.
Today was the day........I've been watching this blue Currier Ives tea cup for sometime, it was priced at $5.00, thinking the price was a bit high for one cup.
Today, I was able to purchase the cup for $2.50
I'll be collecting a pieces at a time, I have a feeling.
