Thanksgiving Week - Come Decorate With Me 2021 Part 1- The Mantel

 Hi Friends,

Today, I'm trying to get out some of my vintage Thanksgiving decorations for the up coming weekend. 

   I have a few vintage to me, pieces, that I have been using in my Thanksgiving décor for twenty years.

So I have gathered my favorite thrifted go to treasures for Thanksgiving

***

I have had the cornucopia's for years, that I picked up at a goodwill, along with the harvest food.

This year I have been using book for risers and I'm loving the Spanish moss this year also as I'm sure you haven't noticed I have it every where.

The amber bottles are new this year along with star pattern wreath.

Now for some of my new finds this year.  The last couple of months I've been really focused on searching for vintage turkeys, and copper, this is what I have gathered this year so far.

So what do you think of my added semi vintage turkey figurines?  It's a start I'll continue to keep a eye out in the coming year

Thank you for checking in to see what's been going on at my house this season.

May God Bless You and Your Family!

A Little Thrift Haul From my Local Store - Looking for Vintage Holiday Décor

Hi Friends,

Another haul I'm looking for vintage Halloween or Thanksgiving items. I'm not finding what I'm looking for however, I did come home yesterday with a few items I thought I must have.

The little crocks will go nicely with some of my other crocks. 

I was so glad to find the Avon turkey bottle for $1.00. 

The twig wreath I'm thinking might be added to my fall/harvest décor some where not sure yet.

 As you can see I found a home crochet dish towel hanger which is so unique.   

Hey! Check out the Halloween Jack-o-lantern pail I found, it has a mark of 1997 Grand Adventure blow mold who would have figured, I was so surprised!

 I'm putting this jack-o-lantern in my Halloween décor.

I also found quite a few bundles of autumn color florals for my fall/harvest décor,(not that I probably have to many, lol) that I will be adding to the sunflowers I already have out.

Look at this awesome picture frame! I'll probably add antiquing wax to age it more, not sure.

I found a vintage looking plater it wasn't vintage thought, I still think it will look nice on the shelf above my kitchen cabinets

 

A nice red trimmed tray, I'm thinking of stenciling or deco-podge a Santa on it.  The little rocking horse and horse shoe stand I'll be used for Christmas.

*****

This old looking frame caught my eye, I'm thinking about putting this frame in my spare bedroom.

Thank you for stopping by to see the treasures I found this week while thrifting.

So until the next time...

Come See What I Found Thrifting this week - Retro Nut Chopper

 Hi Friends,

 I've been thrifting again, it's just a few things this time. Some Of the pieces I have been looking at are still a bit high and out of my price range.

I did find a few crochet hot pads, for $.75 each that I'll use for Christmas time.

Look at this cool retro nut chopper with a red lid, I paid $7.50 which I thought was a little high, but I get so excited to find pieces with red touches, I can't help myself.  This will definitely be going shelf in the kitchen.

Not sure what I'll be doing with the cute rooster hook but I'll be sure to show you when I figure it out.

I also found another piece of copper this little bowl has feet. 

With Thanksgiving around the corner I just had to pick up the wooden turkey cut out and the little wreath with a folded star pattern.

I think the string of Christmas bell was my best find today, I'll be certainly saving this for Christmas décor.

I did pick up another metal box I think this one is a fishing tackle box. I will be stacking this box with the silver metal box I thrifted this summer.

Thank you for stopping by to look at my thrifted finds.

Decorate with me - Fall Farmhouse/ Vintage Mantel - Using Thrifted Items

 Hi Friends,

Today, I'm easing my mantel into fall.  Using some farmhouse/vintage décor that I have thrifted, the last few months.

I love my black and white gingham garland that stays on the mantel year round. To ease into  fall on my mantel I placed a thrifted copper tin, some books, amber bottle, a crow I've have for many years

A thrifted crock I left the sunflowers found this summer and added pip berries a diy ceramic pumpkins

amber bottles with sunflowers, I left the moss, added a faux pumpkin to the vintage cigar tin

To the left side of the mantel I added a little orange ceramic pumpkin that I gave a face lift to and a copper accent pumpkin I picked up a couple of years ago a thrifted crock with sunflowers and a black crow.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  So until the next time....

Fall October Harvest has Come to the Front Porch

Hi Friends,

I've have some time this weekend to spruce up my front porch for the harvest season. I have envisioned pumpkins, mums, sunflowers, cornstalks, a few twigs of bittersweet, etc.. 

So here I go.....

So, I left the sunflower from my late summer porch décor, trying to hold on to warm summer vibes.  Our night temps are in the mid 20's nowadays.

I exchanged the blue bench for a wagon that my daughters had when they were kids.  I purchase four odd shaped pumpkins and three small pie pumpkins to fill up the wagon. I was so excited to be able to use a few pumpkins from my garden this year. It always a gamble. The little green pumpkins in the wagon came from my garden.

I also purchases four mums pots from Walmart this year to add more orange and yellows to this vignette, they haven't done real well with the low night temperatures.

The milk cans and wire milk crates are treasure I have thrifted many years ago and are kept on my front porch year round.  

The cornstalks are from my garden this year.  

I added the thrifted tool box tray I found a couple of weeks ago while thrifting, against the vintage wire milk crate.

Thank you for stopping by.  I really like how my front porch turned out this year.

So until next time....

Fall has moved onto my Hutch - Decorate with Me -Thrifted Vintage Décor

 Hi Friends,

I had some time today to add a few fall touches to the top of the hutch, by bringing in a diy pumpkins sign, I made last fall.

 Using Waverly Antiquing wax I added a little weather aging to this faux pumpkin and I harvested some poppy seed pods from my garden and painted them.

A thrifted lunch box and oil can was added to the top of the hutch for some rustic charm.

I need to add a rooster here and there. and I have been collecting amber bottles, my collection is increasing.

I love to add bittersweet, sunflower

black/white check homespun

Harvest-  seeds, wheat  

The wheat is new this year I thrifted two large bundles about a month ago so I added a clump to the large clear jug.

My God Bless You and Your Family!
