Vintage thrift

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! Today, I'm so excited to share the treasure I found today!

I had a couple things I past up last time I was at my Local Vintage/Thrift Consignment Shop.

As you can see I found a few more treasures.

I was looking for green items to mix into my March décor. I spotted the green geese for $1.00 and the green square ceramic trinket plate for $.50.

***

Don't the green geese look great with this collection of water foul tumblers?

Also in the China Cabinet I used the large pewter platter I gave $2.00 for in this cute vignette of my Vaseline Glass.  I have two platter now and I love the contrast with my green pieces.

***

I picked-up another vintage rusty door lock for $2.00 and place one of the $2.00 postcard pack of 5 in this vignette.

I'll be using the other postcard in my seasonal through out the year
***

Lastly, The super cool "Miss Buffalo Bill" calendar picture for $1.00 I  placed among my potted plants in the spare room. I'm going to try and research "Miss Buffalo Bill to hopefully find a date.

***
These last two treasure I'll be holding on to for later use.

The red, white, and blue throw I'll be using for Patriotic décor I paid $3.00

This wonder silver-plate casserole caddy I paid $7.50, which I think is a supper high price, however I've been watching on that sterling at the Budget Center and they want $15.00.

 I'll be using this tray to corral a couple of vintage books I found on E-bay, when they arrived I'll post a picture.

Vintage-Inspired St Patrick's Day Décor on the Mantel

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share my thoughts for my March Mantel display. 

As you can see I'm loving the way my Mantel looks with the picture frames and books, so left them.

My theme for March is Shamrocks, vintage postcard prints, and vintage-inspired Leprechauns.

A few different styles of handmade felt shamrocks I made over the years, to mix into my March décor.

I thought it would be fitting for the month of March to display my small collection of pewter mugs.

Go back a few post to my thrift haul.

Hunting for Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends, 

I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share my Friday Thrift Haul!

1st treasures is this 'Bingo Game'

I've been seeing on Instagram, other vintage collectors are using Bingo cards in there vignettes, so when I saw this Bingo box I was really happy for $2.50. The box has 50 cards so I think there are plenty of cards so one or two cards wont mess with game. The cards are blue, so I think I'll be using them in my Summer vignettes.

*****

Next, I spied the blue glazed artisan pottery bowl for $1.50, that would look great in my Patriotic corner shelf.

*****

When vintage shopping I always have my list of treasure I'm looking for but, I was also hoping to find a few green treasure to add to my March theme... this cute hankie with a 'L' screams ' Saint Patrick's Day!

I added the new $2.00 Hankie in the China Hutch with a few other treasure I had found.

***

I cruised the mug, glass, and plate isle and I picked up the coke glass for $2.00, ( I know it's not vintage) but, I can use it in my small Cocoa-Cola collection

*****

I also thought this vintage looking mug for $1.50, would look great here on the kitchen shelf.

*****

I thought this "Libby" Mallard Duck Hi Ball tumbler was interesting for $.75, so brought it home and nestled it in with my other bird glasses and along with

a set of Endangered Wildlife coasters $1.50

*****

Lastly, I saw this little souvenir doll in a locked cabinet last week as I was checking out, but for $2.50 I wanted to look it up before I brought it home.  All I could find was it late 1940 to 1950 sleepy eye, a Finland souvenir doll.

I have been finding quite a few little dolls, I need to find a better place to display them.

Vintage-Inspired Seasonal Decoration for the Month of March

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few cubbies on the hutch in my entry room. 

I've changed the cubbies on the hutch to add a little bit more interest, by shopping my home and finding some of my treasures that might go together in a vignette.

***

 Before, I was grouping my collection of Milk Glass, Green Bottles and Vases together in these cubbies.

handmade shamrocks

This week I started mixing colored glass, pine cones, pewter, aluminum and a couple of books from other places around my home.

***

I also started adding in some of my seasonal handmade items for the month of March. 

Card Board Shamrock DIY

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see how I'm incorporating 'Seasonal Decoration' for the month of March this week. 

***

Did you notice? I put backing on the hutch using faux tiles and poster board from 'Dollar Tree', a fairly simple project I did last weekend, I'm loving it I think I'll be painting it maybe copper.

***

 I would love to hear if you decorate for Saint Patrick's or for Spring in your home for March.

A Few Vintage Vignettes With a Splash of Green

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

***

 March is fast approaching, I felt I needed to dig out my March tub this weekend to look over what I had to add to a couple of my vignettes in the Den. 

***

Today, I'm excited to share  some of my  Handmade Shamrock's that I added to a couple of areas in my Den.

***

Here on a end table in the Den I made a vignette, of a thrifted saucer, a Emerald green tea cup, along with a thrifted brass candle stick holder.

Over on a shelf in the den, I just added a handmade paper medallion and a few felt handmade shamrocks.

On my red shelf area I placed my handmade  felt shamrocks.

***

And a super awesome salt shamrock framed art piece, my grand daughter made in preschool a few years ago was added to this grouping.

A few more handmade shamrocks and a printed post   card print from Graphic Fairy

I'm very happy how these vignettes in my Den turned out what, what don you think?

Vintage/Thrift Consignment Store - Looking for Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share thrifting, at my local 'Vintage/Thrift Consignment Store'.  The store had a few new treasures, however were marked up out of my price range.

*****

In a corner of my Den/Family room, I have a bookcase full of games for those stay inside days of Winter. 

 While shopping Saturday I happen upon this wooden dice cup for $2.00. Watch caught my eye was the brass looking coins imbedded at the base.

*****

As I was checking out I noticed this cutie in the case, the cashier said what about $5.00? I'm not sure if I over paid or not she sure is a cuties and about the same size as the last two Dutch dolls I purchased last time.

 This is the back of the cute little doll sitting in her chair. I wasn't able to find a tag or mark on this super cute doll, I paid $5.00.

***

I think I past-up on this small emerald hobnob tooth pick holder last time I visited this store. 

***

I'm so glad I took the time to look at it! I think it looks great with a few other emerald pieces I have, I paid $2.50

*****

You may have wondered why I keep bringing home sewing notions.  Well, somewhere in social media, I saw them using embroidery thread spools in vignette to add color.  So that is why I have been picking up these large spools of thread at $.50 or less

*****

The wicker heart wreath, I'm going to take apart and try to stain it a little darker and hang it from a hook some where not sure yet.

I believe I will be using the yellow hand-crochet hot pad in in my April décor.
