Vintage Thrifting-Linens and a Mother Load of Table Games

 Hi Friends,

This weekend I found some great treasures.  So many treasure I brought home, that I'm splitting my thrift haul up into two posts.

Today I'm sharing this vintage thrift haul over at Vintage Charm Party #351

This first sale I got this box for $12.00. I found a lot of linens that were so unique.

Vintage hankie

I love the three hand embroidered place mats with birds and 7 miscellaneous cloth napkins

Look at this darling embroider tea towel with a pair of kittens, So Cute!

I'm not sure what the embroider cup is used for, but I purchased it because of the delicate stitching.

The lovely green end table scarfs will look great in my seasonal March décor.

A couple more doilies to use in my country/cottage décor

I just love the detail and the time it took someone to do this craft, it should be cherished.

I'm not sure if I'll frame this beautiful piece, I think I might finish it and then frame it.

This particular dish towel catch my eye. I remember my Grandmother had a set of the multiple stripe dish towel

I hung this dish towel on a grater that on the side of a cabinet.

These pretty blue trimmed table scarfs are so cheery pretty I place them on the night stands in a guess room.

*****

Also in that box I stuffed a few trinkets a little blown glass fawn/deer

Two sets of bowlers I think their used for a cake topper.

Glass strawberry, I thought it might be a pendent but there not a way to attach to a chain

Amethyst is my birthstone so I put it in the box 

super excited about the milk glass jar caps I'll be using with my collection of canning jars.

A couple set of S&P the little lady with the guitar is a salt shaker 

and the cute pair of fish S&P are housed in the cabinet.

Check this out this pair of fish S&P has a Japan sticker

cute little perfume bottles, the middle bottle has a lady painted on the front and flowers on the back.  Have them setting in a small tray on top of a dresser.

This 3 in 1 wooden handle grater with three extra shredder size plates was a interesting find and a wire spoon

Vintage Thrift Haul - To My surprise the Vintage Thrift Store was Open on Sunday!

 Hi Friends,

I stopped by my local vintage thrift store Sunday to see what was new. and of course I did find a few great treasures

This very cute bird house for out side has a little roof damage that I believe I can fix

I have a few rusty old license plates that worked perfectly nice roof for this bird house

Going into this store one of the items I was looking for are vintage glass insulators. The last time I had shop at this store, I believe I had seen insulators there before, unfortunate they only had clear insulators and wanted $6.00 each! I was a little disappointed, usually the prices are a bit lower. I did find this little clear insulator for $2.00

I made a list of projects I would like to do this summer in my yard  and the insulator is on the list.  I need to collect a few more insulators.

*****

In the back of the store they have lots of picture, I was rummaging through the picture frames, when I saw these great oval frames for a $1.50 a piece and they have glass, wow! 

So exciting, Aren't they beautiful?

As you can see I place one of the frames on a shelf with my brush copper treasures.

The other frame went up on the hutch

*****

In this little vignette, I used the vintage doily under the cute little hen sitting on a horse shoe nest.

*****

And the other treasure I found was this tooth pick caddy so stinkin' cute, for a $1.00

I think this spot in the vintage Pepsi crate is prefect.

Well that the end of this thrifting haul. 

Thank you for taking time out of you day to stop by my blog.  I'm trying to post every week

Vintage Thrifting - I Stopped by the Local Budget Center Thrift Store

 Hi Friends,

I couldn't resist dropping by my local "Community Budget Center" to see if anything was new and to check on a vintage record player in a cabinet, I'm guessing 1930's.  The store still wanted $150.00 and the cabinet needs some work and not sure the record player works.

I did come home with so awesome treasures! So exciting! Let me show you where I have incorporated these treasures into my home.

Two milk glass vases, I paid $.75 for the tall vase and the small vase $1.50.

I rearranged my collection of milk glass on a shelf on the hutch.

We use small custard cups for many things - jello, pudding, snacks, etc. so I picked up the two Pyrex custard cups for $.75 each.  I also found a small 10oz Pyrex dish without lid for $1.00  These Pyrex treasures are going in a kitchen cabinet to be used daily.

Also in the haul I brought home, a very cute ceramic garlic keeper for $.25, I have it on the hutch with my vintage emerald glass display.

I found a brown ceramic Nebraska souvenir creamer for  $1.50. I put into this vignette above the kitchen cabinets

*****

Found some yard toys $1.00 each, for the grandkids when they come to visit. No sharp points. I'm always on the look out for kids items, through out the year. You just never know what you can find for the grandkids at a reasonable price.

*****

The three pamper chef tart pans $1.25 each, will be a project for the outside.  

The shallow cake pan I got for free because it was rusty the store had an exact pan that was clean the price was $5.00 lol, What a deal! I also place the shallow cake pan on the shelf above the cabinets in the kitchen.

I have a little diy idea for the Pamper Chef tart pans, Please check back later next week to see what I did.

*****

Taking my time through the store today I took the time to dig, and while I was digging in the fabric and sewing notions I found a hand full of notions I'll be putting into my sewing stash.

bias tape for $.30, hook and eye for $.30, black rick -rack for$.25, red applique stars for $.30, a bag of two spools of 1/4 inch ribbon for $1.25, and a bag of alphabet beads for $.50. 

Digging in the craft shelf I found upholstery tack for $1.00 a container which will also go into the sewing stash and a small wooden easel for $.50.

 Opposite the miscellaneous craft shelf, is a shelf of office supplies.  I spied a package of paper fasteners for free. I was so excited to find another legal size clip board!  for just $0.50, I'll be incorporating into my Patriotic décor.

 

*****

   

I found this very cool metal basket for $1.00 to put out in the back yard

Awesome, rustic tree branch candle holder for $3.00, I have a couple other tree branch candle holders, I bought at our local summer market a couple of years ago.

I'll be using all three candle holder in my vintage winter décor.  

*****

Because I live in Colorado and Coors is made in Colorado I picked up this shot and a half.

 You all know I'm a sucker for vintage cookie cutters and this star shape cutter had raffia and a cute button on it , who could refuse? 

Digging through the toy area I found the sweet little silk dress that I believe will fit a vintage bisque doll I got from my great aunt, super excited about this find

On my list of things I look for is silver-plate.  I saw this platter-tray, I thinking I could the tray to group my vintage bottles. 

The Presidents of the United States will defiantly fit into my patriotic décor. I know 4th of July is past but, I may just add to one of my vignettes.

The pair of vintage saucers for $1.00 each, I loved the pattern, not sure where I'll find a place for them.

And the best find today was this amazing picnic basket It wasn't lined but, for $9.00 I am not going to complain. Isn't it beautiful it's real similar to my large picnic basket in weave.

 Today was a fun thrifting haul.  I hope some of the treasure I find inspire you to get out and thrift for wonderful treasure to show off in your home.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to see what I have been doing, so, until my next post......

Out side banners 4th July

 Hi Friends,

HAPPY 4th of JULY

Today, I'm putting out red white and blue banners and flags around the outside for this special day. I got out the patriotic tub and looked over the banner. This one has seen better days, but I think I can use it this season.

This flag banner needed a quick face lift, the stripes had faded so with a little acrylic paint they look fresh again

I put another banner on the garden gate

Some of my older banners are starting to look pretty bad. I drove over to Walmart to see what they had for banner, the selection had been picked through.  Not much left, so I picked up four of the banners and two boxes of small flags

I hung one of the new banner on the back fence

and the other two on the front of the house

I want to thank you for checking and making my blog a part of your day. Please check back any time, I'm trying to post at least every two week, with thrift hauls, vignettes of where I show off my thrifted treasures, and a few picks at my seasonal home decorating in and outside my home.

Until next time....

Vintage Patriotic Front Porch for Independence Day-Decorate With Me

 Hi Friends, 

I've been a busy adding Patriotic touches to my front porch.

I showed you my galvanized buckets on the front porch in a 1st of June post, "Vintage Galvanized Buckets and Florals for the Front Porch".

From there, I started by adding  touches of Patriotic -little flags to the black enamel pot, but there was something missing...

I changed the tattered ribbons on the vintage milk cans with new patriotic ribbons. 

Added a few more flags to an a vintage milk can and wire basket 

It was still looking like I needed some height, so I dug out a vintage rectangle wire basket to give height to the brass bucket.

I had a red metal barn star that I have had about 12 years, that I had on a corner shelf in the family room so I brought it out to add a little "Country Charm".

There seemed to be a bare spot in the middle there so I went looking in my house. 

I found this thrifted black lantern, from my "Community Budget Center" stuffed in a corner of the guest bathroom, kind of looking out of place, and thought why not paint this.... 

 

Red. In the craft supplies I had red acrylic paint, to use for this quick project with this lantern, I love how the lantern turned out.  What do you think?

Still some vacant space here so I added this....

I am Proud to Be an American flag I purchased at "Dollar Tree, last year for a Dollar.

It seems like there is more blank space, so I might think about this.....

Thank you for stopping by, and if you could give me some ideas to fill this blank area that would be great.

Until I can figure it out needs to be put in this space.

May God Bless You and Your Family.
