It is the 'First Day of Spring' as I'm looking out my window, it is snowing! 

To get some inspiration I dug out my Spring tub and pulled out the nest that I handcrafted a few Springs ago.

 

This cute bird book I bought a week ago on a online auction.

This cute little bird house was a yard sale treasure quite a few years ago and has gone through a couple of make-overs, I'm loving how it looks a little rustic.

*****

I added a new prints from 'The Graphic Fairy.com' web sight this beautiful lily print. 

The amazing "The Pond Book" was another book I won at the online auction with "Sugar Britches Sweet Ass Stuff" You-tube auction every Wednesday and very reasonable prices.

In this cream color German planter, I thrifted last year I filled with the handmade 'Spring Bulbs' I made last Spring

Shopping for Vintage Treasures for my Home

Hi Friends, 

 

I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a thrift haul from my local Vintage/Thrift store. I totally love every treasure I brought home today.

I passed on these treasures up last time. I thought these beautiful patterned plates, would look nice for Easter or Mother's Day. I paid $2.00 each.

This beautiful embossed plate with a light pink rose transfer had no stamp but I believe it might be made in Germany.

This super cute saucer with the gold trim and flower did not have a stamp on the back, I thought it would be nice to use this saucer in a Saint Patrick's Day or Fall vignette.

*****

Last visit to this Vintage/Thrift store I notice these two Flatware boxes the dark color one was $12.00 and the lighter brown didn't have a price.  I past on them thinking if these boxes are still in the store I'll buy them

The light brown box had red lining and a sticker 'Good Housekeeping Institute'.

The darker wood box had a light blue lining and a W.m. Roger sticker.

I saw on Pinterest how to use these boxes to corral décor vignettes, but for now I'm using them as risers on the hutch.

*****

I saw this cute milk glass pieces also last time I was at this store but wasn't sure I wanted to pay $15.00 for it but because of the uniqueness I did bring it home this time. I paid the asking price (I'm not much of a haggler).

Searching the 'WEB' to get some information about this interesting treasure, I found out it is called Mortar & Pestle and held potpourri made produced in New York by Jean Vivaudou Co. Akro Agate in 1930's. Unfortunately, I did pay high for this piece because it is missing a decal and painted florals.

*****

I picked up these last two plate because, they were very pretty and I think they'll look great in a vignette for March.

New Vintage Dolls For My Collection

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few new dolls I've added to my doll collection.

  

small 1940's bisque dolls

I caught the E-Bay Auction Bug last week.

 I was on a mission to find "Story Book 'Nancy Ann' Dolls"!  

Of course, I want to spent the least amount of money possible. These dolls I paid $3.00 a pieces, because I bought them in a lot of 30 vintage dolls, I have quite a few extra dolls. :)

I'll be showing off some more of the vintage dolls in future post as I find a place to display them.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found this week.

I would love to hear about some of your collections and how you style them in your home. 

 So until my next post......

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.
