February is Fast Approaching - Decorate with Me

 Hi Friends,

February is fast approaching and I need to get some of my February décor put up.  This year I 'm keeping my Winter Décor up. I like the cozy warm feeling with my 'Winter Décor.'

The Den

 I brought out some of my years past February DIY's.   Here in the den, I just stuck these felt hearts I made a few years back, into a hurricane cloche along with the pinecones setting in a tobacco box I had out for my 'Winter Décor.'

The Spanish moss wreath added a nice touch to the red shelves along with the red wooden-bead charm.  

I placed white snowflake around to bring in the snowy cozy winter day on the red shelves where I display a couple of vintage cigar boxes. 

This year I tried to distress the edges of the DIY conversation hearts to tone the white down some. 

 I don't think it turned out to bad.  I definitely need some practice using the distressing technique

 

Another conversation heart I distressed a little

Another wooden heart I added a little distress ink hoping to age it a bit to tone down the stark white I was seeing.

On the hutch 

I added some of my favorite DIY's from the past. I also like using chalk boards here and there throughout my home for all seasons.

Thank you for stopping by to see some of my Valentine vignettes, stop by next week to see more.

May God Bless you and Your Family.

Vintage Thrifting for Valentine Décor

 Hi Friends,

I went out of town to visit my Mother this weekend. So I had a chance to visit a thrift store called the Desert Industries.

See what I found....

45 records, I was thinking for Valentines Day, but I also found some Christmas 45's, at a $1.00 each.

I'm always looking for vintage Golden Books, I find a couple  for $.85 each. Super excited about these titles.

I was really glad I brought home the "Little Baptiste".  Copyright 1954

Look at the illustrations I love it!

I'm a plant lover and I have a spider plant that has lots of shoots, so a brass planter is just what a need for transplanting. For $2.00,  I just couldn't resist.

This oak shelf was just $2.00. I'll be putting it up in my living room as is.

Oh, when I spied this wreath I grabbed it!  I love felt I actually have made felt leaf ornies bowl filler for my fall décor. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing the wonderful treasures that I found. I'll be working on placing these items in my home. So until next time.....

May God Bless You and Your Family!

Vintage Winter on the Hutch - Thrifted Treasures

 Hi Friends,

Today I'm spreading the wonderful treasures I thrifted during my Christmas break.  One of the newly purchased converted oil lamp, still looking for a shade and chimney, but I'm so excited that it works and I'm please with this purchase.

I love putting these adorable snowmen into my winter décor, that my stepdad carved many years ago. 

I used a wicker basket this year, to group a twine cover bottle, a pewter mug and pine cones to the center of this vignette that I have thrifted.

These three little snowmen I thrifted this year, I think they are so adorable, that I had to place them in my winter décor some where on the hutch.

***

This little vignette has the wooden bowl I thrifted a couple weeks ago.  I love the look of pine cones and berries for a cozy farmhouse feel, for winter.

Thank you for checking in. I hope I gave a little bit of winter decorating inspiration to your day.

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!

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,
