Vintage Thrifting in St Louis, Illinois

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

I've been on a road trip this past week to visit my youngest Daughter and her family.

Today, I'm so excited to share a few treasures I brought home from St. Louis. I did have a list of items I wanted to look for on this trip, however I didn't get a lot of time to shop. Family came first.

***

I thought this was a super cool vintage song book, for $2.00

This vintage song book have songs like - "America, The Beautiful" - "My Old Kentucky Home" - "Standin' in the Need of Prayer" -"We're Marching to Zion" - "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" - Copyright 1928

I have the sweet song book on my vintage Clarophonic record player

***

When I saw these Budweiser Christmas mugs, I had to buy them to add to my small collection of Christmas mugs.

The mugs were in two different booths, I paid $10.00 for this '1990 An American Tradition mug.

And the 1992 A Perfect Christmas mug I paid $13.99

I ended up already having a 1990 mug, so now I have two! lol

***

I saw this Ball Jar for $4.00 it has a large crack, but I don't care, I'll be using it for décor.

A no. 12 on the bottom
I'm guessing the date might be 1923-1933?

***

I also spotted this 2 1/2" spiked metal flower frog for $12.00, the price was a bit high but, I have two thrifted stores in my tiny town and you just don't see flower frogs much.

There is no date or manufacture stamp on it.

***

 

Lastly, I picked up a Art-Deco green vase with gold strips for $5.00. I believe it fits in the same eara with a vase I bought last summer that was yellow with the gold stripes

***

I had such a great time visiting my youngest daughter and her family over the Easter weekend.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found on my travels to St. Louis.

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......

Vintage Dolls - On the Hunt for 'Nancy Ann' - Story Book Dolls

Hi Friends, 

 

I'm so glad your here! 

I've have been on the hunt for "Nancy Ann" story book dolls to add to my collection.

Today, I'm so excited to share some super cute "Story Books Dolls" I found at a online auction, last week.

This lot of 13 "Story Book" Dolls I paid $45.19.

in order to get a great price of $3.50 for each doll. 

***

I'm focus on buying bisque dolls with frozen legs because they are a bit older dolls. 

***

Out of this lot I purchase three dolls with painted eyes, unfortunate the dolls were all made of hard plastic. 

Their still super adorable!

Because, I bid on a lot of dolls I ended up with a variety of plastic sleepy eye Nancy Ann-"Story Book" dolls.

Spring/ Easter Vignettes on My Vintage Record Player in the Entry room

Hi Friends, 

I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share how I have styled a few vignettes on my  Vintage Claro-phonic Cabinet Record Player 

 

The first grouping, I've just used a hand-crocheted doily on top of a checkered place mat a few vintage thread spools, a couple of green pharmacy bottles and a cast-iron candles holder I found thrifting.

*****

This vignette I brought in the cute green garlic jar, I think works well together with the Royal Copley Hen and Rooster.

another wonderful vintage post-card post-marked April 12, 1911 Carleton, Michigan nestled in a cream color 'Hull' planter 

*****

Lastly, I grouped another 'Royal Copley rooster another vintage  Easter post-card I used one of my emerald green tea cup and added Easter grass and a few hand-painted eggs a thrifted vase and a S&P hen on a silver-plate platter.

This cute post-card with 'Gold Embossed Chicks' under a flower, has a post-mark of 1912 Detroit, Michigan  has a one cent stamp
