January Thrift Haul for Vintage Décor - Look What I Found

Hi Friends,

I have been thrifting again!

Look what I found, so exciting I trying to add a my collection of Dr. Seuss books for the grandkids.

I also found this great music book with some Christmas songs that are featured in the Christmas movies "Rudolph The Red- Nosed Reindeer, couldn't believe it.  I will definitely use the sheet music in my next years décor

Another piano music book I picked had the theme from the movie "Love Story" I'm going to use this in  a sweet vignette for February.

These books I'm adding to my children's book collection

I really love the Illustration's of this nursery rhyme book. The picture are so vintage looking to me.  I love this book.

When I saw these lanterns I just had to pick them up.  Many years ago I found a pair of similarly brass lantern at an auction that I use out side.

I purchased this lantern chimney hoping it will fit on one of the oil  lamps I bought last month.

This cute little dish didn't have any signage on it, but it was so cute.  Not sure how to use it yet in my décor.

This pair of skate are a great find, but I have to confess I spent way above my limit.  I spent $15.00!   Aren't they wonderful? 

I will be putting them out front, however there is so much snow! I'll be adding the great pair of skates to a indoor vignette.

Thank you so much for checking in to see what I have been up to this very cold January.

May God Bless you and your family!

Winter Tier Tray-Vintage Snowmen

 Hi Friends,

Today I'm showing off my diy tiered tray, I've added pine cones, sprigs of greenery, red berries, orange slices, and a few vintage snowmen. 

This little guy I found many years ago his a salt shaker.

Frosted pine cones, cute little red bird in a nest

The ceramic snowman on the bottom tray my youngest daughter painted back 20 years ago in grade school

The frosted pine cones are a diy project several years back.

See the super darling square snowmen ornament one of my co-workers gifted it to me many years ago so darn cute and thoughtful.

I'm so happy you stopped by, I love how the tray turned out.

May God Bless You and Your Family!

Vintage Thermos - I Have Found a Couple More

 

Hi Friends,

During my Christmas break I shopped my local thrift store and found these lovelies.  Of course, I picked them up I collect Campbell soup mugs.  Last January I picked up two Campbell soups gift pack and now I have two wood crates with Campbell printed on them.

 These cute Campbell soup thermoses are now part of my winter décor.

These two beauties I have pasted by several times last month, I decided I needed to go back and picked up the red and blue thermos, I think these will look great with my other thermos.

And this little green plaid beat up Thermos I also, went back to my local budget center to pick it up. 

I had been watching it for many months and decide it was meant to be in my collection.

I hope I have inspired you to go a little out of the box and find items that say winter, cozy, comfy, to decorate your home for winter.

Thank you for checking in today,

May God Bless You and Your Family this time of year, until the next time,

A Cozy Rustic Winter Mantel

 Hi Friends,

Time to change up the mantel, I've packed up all my Christmas collections.  To start decorating the mantel, I thought this DIY was very appropriate for this very cold winter season, here in NW Colorado.

I'm still loving buffalo/gingham check so I leave the black check rag garland all seasons, but added the red/black checked rag garland to my winter displays

 New DIY this winter is the wreath with a stick snowflake hung in the center, I like the rustic feel it adds to the mantel. 

This awesome white snowflake I diy a couple of winters back out of popsicle sticks.  One of the new DIY's for this winter are using collected bottle brush trees and wooden vintage thread spools and ABC blocks.

Pines cones always come out during my winter decorating, I found the little cardinal tin this year at the thrift store

I also like displaying the red felt birds that I picked up several years ago I believe from "Dollar Tree?", all throughout the house.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you found some inspiration to decorate a corner of your home for the winter season.

May God you and your family,

Vintage Winter Décor Vignettes - In the Den

 Hi Friends,

It is time to start pulling out some of my snowmen for my winter décor.  Today I'll been adding a few touches to the red shelves in the den.

I added a "Snow-Baby" figurine to a shelve I display a few of my cigar boxes along with a little snowman with a red scarf. 

I also added a glistening snow flake 

Greenery is also something I like to add here and there in my decorating.

The little bottle tree, pinecones, berries, fir boughs are added to my vignettes.

I found quite a few grab bags last summer with wooden thread spools, while thrifting.  I have been adding the inexpensive bottle brush trees to the wooden spools for Christmas and winter décor when I can.

Here is the little cigar box I thrifted during Christmas break, I filled it with white vintage buttons and sat the blue enamel cup on top.

I brought back the frosted pinecone I DIY last year I think I like the contrast of the natural white frost pinecones.

I hope you found some inspiration and get out your snowflake and snowmen to use in your winter décor.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time

Vintage Winter Décor Touches in my Living Room

Hi Friends,

I'm slowly put away Christmas décor and just adding a few pine cone and snowflakes around the house for my winter décor. 

 Here on a window shelf by my front door, I've hung a pine cone wreath I made a couple of years ago in the living room. A few bottle brush trees sitting in vintage jello molds and small clear canning jar.

This very adorable pinecone wreath was a diy from last winter ....

You may have remembered me using this brass bucket on my coffee table in the den, I thought a little bit of brass would look nice on this book shelf in the living room, I just added greenery and cinnamon sticks with a ribbon and of course pine cones.

On the salt/pepper shaker cabinet I place a couple of felt birds I got after Christmas sale.

I placed a thrifted pewter tray hoping to bring out the gray felt in the birds.

I hope I have given you a little inspiration to add small touch of winter in your house. 

Adding a few snowflakes and glitter helps me get through the long days of winter.

Until my next post,

 May God Bless You and Your Family.

First Vignette in January 2022

 Hi Friends,

As you know I did a little thrifting over my Christmas/ New Year break.  Well, now you get to see how I styled some of the treasures in my home.

I found the brown ceramic sugar holder, Aunt Jemma syrup bottle and the Log Cabin syrup tin. I knew they would look great on top of my kitchen cabinets with this brown creamer

I changed it up and added a brown cheese crock and a couple of little white creamers

change it up again and added more bottle brush trees

switched it up again

                             

I just added a couple of amber bottles and a little bit of greenery

I'm so glad you stopped by to see my first vignette of January 2022

Rustic Snowflake For Winter Décor

 Hi Friends,

Today, I'm just crafting a very quick and simple snowflake made from twigs the tree out back , to add a rustic piece to the mantel.. 

I grabbed a few limbs for the cottonwood tree out back, sized up the sticks and arranged the stick like a star by stacking one on top of each other glued them together.

I had thought about gluing the plastic snowflake on top of stick star but, decided to just add the center piece.

I feel this quick DIY turned out quite nice it definitely added some interest to the mantel.  Thank you so much for checking in to see what I have been doing this week, so until next time.

Happy New Year 2022

Hi Friends,

We've made it through another year of adventure and wonder. Today is my day of rest and I'm wondering what this new year is going to bring? As we move forward as life goes on....

 I really don't set goals for a new year, I do have ideas I might like to pursue, however never anything set in stone so to speak, some emergency usually come up. LOL 

Some ideas for me to investigate on my path in social media for 2022, is jumping into You-Tube and Instagram.  

As of late I have been following some wonderful, creative, inspiring people on these platforms. I feel I have some helpful ideas to share.

Thank you for stopping by, I always enjoy the thought that I may have given someone a new way of looking at things or some kind of encouragement.

May God Bless You and Your Family,
