Vintage Santa's Collection

 Hi Friends, 

I found the tub with my vintage Santa's, so today I'm decorating the top of my hutch with my ever growing collection.

I have been collecting Santa's for many years at least 30, I'm guessing.

I pick up older Santa's when I see them.  This year I believe I found four this summer thrifting.

Here is the Mrs. Clause That I picked up at the local thrift store for $1.50 

In this picture are the bubbling light strand I found at a yard sale this summer for $4.00 they had two boxes and they work kind of it hard to get the light up right so it will bubble.

In this picture the little Santa in the tree is new to me I believe I paid $1.00 for it and the ceramic Santa blowing a horn.

In this photo at the bottom left corner a new standing Santa and a cute Mrs. Clause with a imprint that says Japan.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my Santa collection.

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Christmas Vintage-Farmhouse-Rustic Thrift Haul

 Hi Friends,

I went shopping again after work and look what I found.

A county Christmas

Guess what? ...  I wasn't really looking for clothing today, but I came across this beautiful red sweater for only $4.00. Guess what, it was in my size! I couldn't believe it!

I picked up a box of Holly glass ornaments for $1.50, the box is kind of beat up but their were 11 ornament in this box, so less than $.25 a piece.  

I didn't think was a bad price for American made glass ornaments.

This box has a bit smaller ornament, plus a few more if the box was complete.   However, for $1.50 I was able to savage 12 glass ornaments made in the USA.

Bells, Bells, Bells I really wasn't thinking about using Christmas bells in my décor this year, however I just kept finding some. lol!

The bells on the red strap is the second of this kind that I have found, pretty excited about that.  I also the the bell wreath, it will look nice hanging from one of my window frames, I do believe. 

I also picked up a bag of bottle brush trees, for $.25. I have seen all over social media many ways to display using these little bottle brush trees. 

I was thinking, I have some child building blocks and thread spools, maybe I could add the trees to them. 

For $.50 I thought I could definitely use this red trimmed napkin with the pretty poinsettias, as a table scarf.

Some glass Christmas ornaments for $.75, that I had to pick up.

I found this cute red boot $.30.  I had to look it up to find out when it was made. What I found was that this little boot was made by Rosbro, and was filled with candy back in the day.  I'll probably add a bottle brush tree to this cute boot. 

The angel candle holder had some great patina to it, I paid $.75.  I went to google to find a manufacture and learned a little more about it, even though the angel looks like pewter or brush metal, it's actually made from brass in Hong Kong.  Who knew?

 

Best find today was this Mrs. Clause carrying a bag and candy cane, I'm super excited to find this treasure.

For $1.50, who could pass up this gem!

It is stamped Japan.

Super Cute!

Thank you for stopping by to check out my haul.

My God Bless You and Your Family.

Christmas Thrift Haul - Home Décor

Hi Friends,

I went shopping again, to my local thrift store. Unfortunately, I only found one Christmas item.

I have been following a few of my favorite you-tubers that have a very nice collection of these little Christmas choir boy candles.  I think it is made by Gurley Candle Company. While going through several tables of Christmas items, I know I pasted over this little candle several times before I realized what it was and picked it up.

there is no tag or markings on the bottom.

 

I also picked up a box of glass ornament made in the USA for $2.00

These other items are more home décor.

LOL, I have so many of these zip lock bags in my house that have little odds and ends, I find while cleaning. I really don't know why I picked up this bag of board game pieces, you never know when you might need a spare game piece.

This is the first cutting board that I have found that is in descent shape, for $3.00.

I found one of these cook books last summer, that I gave to my youngest daughter, this one is to replace our paperback, that has seen better days. The pages are falling out.

When I saw these Campbell Soup thermos I was thrilled, last year I purchased a Campbell soup gift pack with a tray and soup cup. I'll be adding these thermos to the crate. So cute!

I was super surprised that I found these next two pieces, because it seem copper is the item to look for to use in farmhouse décor.  This cute vase needs a little cleaning up.

For the both of these copper pieces I paid $1.50 each.

Thanks for stopping by today, to see what I found at my local thrift store. This was a fun haul!

May God Bless You and Your Family.

Happy Thankgiving 2021

 Hi Friends,

A day to get together with family and friends and eat Turkey!

The table is set! and the turkey is in the oven.

Thank you for stopping by...

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather with family especially now! Family, I feel, should be our primary focus.  It's so easy to get caught up in the excitement of these next few holidays and forget about establishing memories. 

 And, let's not forget Pecan Pie!

May God Bless You and Your Family.

A Small Thrift Haul Looking for Vintage Holiday Décor

 Hi Friends,

This is Thanksgiving Eve!  I haven't be to my favorite antique store in a while and just wanted to check in to look for a few vintage turkeys.  

Didn't find any, however I did find a few things.

A wonderful green metal box, I can't wait to use in my Christmas décor.

Look at this nice brass candle stick I'm going to add it to my small collection of brass candle sticks I already have.

 I also found a cool looking wooden plaque to hang keys possibly?

For $4.00 I picked up a vintage door knob.

And lastly, a little plaque that says, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. AMEM."

I love it!

I was kind of bummed that I didn't find any more vintage turkeys, I'll just keep hunting.

Thank you for stopping by.

May God Bless You and Your Family!

Thanksgiving week Part 2 - Decorate with me - Transitioning into Cozy Vintage Harvest - Hutch 2021

 Hi Friends,

The days are getting shorter and the night colder all leaves are off the trees, it time to start a fire and make every corner of my house cozy.

Today, I'm gathering items to decorate my hutch for the week of Thanksgiving. Rich reds, browns, and oranges with a few turkeys added in 

I also gathered a few of my vintage canning jars I've been collecting, to the hutch

A diy blessing sign I made a few years ago, I dug out a vintage lunch box I had on a shelf in my den and added colorful decorative corn and some faux better sweet.

I have a small collection of turkeys that I have place on top of my hutch.

On one of my thrifting adventures I found this cream color leaf shape dish and thought it would look nice with my fall décor.

I realized I really don't have many Turkeys collected but it is a start.

I hope I have given some inspiration for this holiday season

May God Bless You and Your Family!

 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.

Fall Colors -The Tree are Changing Color in my Neck of the Woods

 Hi Friends,

Today all around my neighborhood the leaves are changing the evening are getting into the mid twenties.  

We just had a few rain showers, but we do a few breaks of sunshine and blue sky.

Today I thought it would be a great time to drive around town and shoe off the fall changing of the trees.

Orangish Yellow

Just a pic of sun shine of pink leaves changing on the tree behind my garage.  Beautiful

When the sun shine on trees the golden leaves are so beautiful.

Fall is so beautiful.  Thank you for stopping by, the trees are so beautiful this time of year.

May God Bless you and your family!

So... until next time,
