Vintage Farmhouse Home Décor Haul

 

Hi friends,

Today I was finishing up my Christmas shopping and thought I would hit up a vintage/antique thrift store. They were having all Christmas items half off, I just couldn't find any vintage looking Christmas items that caught my eye.

I did find a few things vintage home décor piece though. 

The hen and rooster s/p were cute they both had a chip at base but, I'm keeping them for décor, so it's not a big deal to me.

I really don't need another cookie cutter, but I don't have any with the wooden green handles, so I bought them will probably use them in my spring décor. 

I bought the grater because I saw a you-tuber, I follow use graters to hold dish towel or dollies, so I'm adding this grater to my kitchen décor.

Thank you for checking in to see what project I'm working on.

My God Bless you and your family.

A Vintage Christmas Thrift Store Haul

I've been watching a lot of home decorators on you tube, lately and all the

awesome DYI's, these very crafty people have come up with using thrifted items.

This weekend I shopped my 3 local thrift stores.  Here is what I found and how I display some of the items.

I found this bag of miscellaneous Christmas balls for $1.50

I added the bag of vintage Christmas balls to

my Formosas cigar box. 

This cute little Santa I paid $3.00 

 I  combined a thrifted  wicker sleigh I painted, white using chalk paint add a little bag to hold presents, a little white foo-velveteen deer ornament to make this vignette.

                                                                                         

I was so surprised to find these Christmas tree tart cups for $.25

I will use them in my trier tray I think.

I found these nicely painted bells with snowmen on them, I kind of feel sad to rust these out.  I've been collecting larger bells the past couple of years to add the rustic feel throughout my Christmas décor.  I follow a you-tube that has a tutorial to rust them so I'm trying the formula out to see if I can rust them up.  This will be a later post.

Thrifting is one of my favorite things to do, it is so much fun to find such treasure.

Christmas Tradition - #4 Vintage Christmas Cards

 Hi friends,

Today's project is getting my Christmas card list out 

As you know I like to thrift, so many of my Christmas card are either end of season sale or thrifted through out the year. 

Cards I have already received so far this season

I need to get the 'Red Sparkle Ribbon' with the cute 'Ginger Breadmen clips' hung up.

Over the years I've slowly misplaced these cute 'Ginger Breadmen Clips' and this year I found this cute felt 'Christmas Tree Clips', I believe at 'The Dollar Tree Store'

This is where I placed the Christmas Card - 'Red Sparkly Ribbon' on a wall that separates the kitchen and entry room.

 

Now I can place the Christmas cards I have been receiving this Christmas Season on this festive 'Red Christmas Sparkly Ribbon'.

I'm loving the new felt Christmas tree clips I have added to the 'Red Sparkle Ribbon' 

To display my Christmas Cards that I have received from my family and friends, this season.

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out.....

Vintage/Farmhouse Fall Mantel

Hi friends,

Today I'm sharing my Fall mantel.  I have added a little vintage, some thrifted items and a few diy projects I crafted last year and some craft project I had time to do this year. 

My focus this Fall was darker oranges and reds and browns so I brought a ceramic pumpkin from Dollar Tree that I painted a color I liked better. Some vintage canning jars a black rooster that is part of my vintage collection.  This year I added two trivets that I thrifted this year, painted with white chalk paint and put a little distress to the metal.  The fall leave garland, 

mums from Dollar Tree a few years ago. The wire pumpkin are thrifted this year, the buffalo pumpkin are a diy last year.

Last year Dollar Tree diy jar sign, a thrifted wire pumpkin, a remade thrifted trivet and vintage black rooster, Dollar Tree fall leaf garland and floral picks

something new to my fall décor is this Thankful sign I purchase  at Walmart I believe. I added to the fall leaf garland a few more strands of fall leaves from Dollar Tree. A messy bow to the top of my rustic window, from raffia, fall leave sprigs and a buffalo check ribbon. And a few pip berries here and there.

added a little Spanish moss and a black checked ribbon to a amber jar, another vintage rooster a few bitter sweet sprigs, pheasant feathers.

Thank you for checking in to see what project I'm working on this week.  Until the next creative moment.

My God Bless you and your family,

Finding Vintage Treasures From a Little Antique Mall

Hi Friends,

Went shopping this weekend at a little antique mall and was super excited to find a pair of 1950's Royal Copley Hen/Rooster, I didn't see any chips for $14.00 for pair.

 

I have had this set of 1950's Royal Copley Hen/Rooster planter set for about ten years. They are pretty beat up, quite a few chips.  I believe I paid $12.00 for the pair.  The rooster lost his beak and a big chip on the base.

This was another item I found out the little antique mall, it didn't come with a spoon, but I think it is used for sugar or honey maybe?

I don't think it is vintage, but I bought it because it was a chicken and had this very cute baby chick on her back, backwards!!

Thanks for stopping by, If you have a idea what this cute chicken container might be used for let me know.

Thank you for stopping by.  

May God Bless you and your family.
