Weekend Vintage Shopping - Quick Stop to my Local Thrift Store -PLUS- a Yard Sale

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

I had some time to just stop in my local thrift store to see what was new.... I've had my eye on a couple of treasures, bonus it was 1/2 off day!

Today, I'm so excited to share what I brought home and how much I paid for these great items.

First item,

 I checked on was this cute ceramic duck, last time I stopped into the store there were two of these ducks, it went into my cart for $3.00 I'll be using this cute yellow duck for 'Spring'.

Check out the curly tail feathers to cute

Next was the Jello molds...

You know me I don't past up on small tin tart pans $1.00 for the bag.

Maybe using them for Fall decor?

Then, I was in the game area and picked up a box of interesting cards ($1.50)....... are they  scripture trivia cards?

I always check out the cradt supply shelf and found a bag of Christmas craft supplies for $1.00

(two styrofoam cones red berry leaf clusters)

I think my favorite were the wooden chairs,

I've been watching the vintage folding chair, now for several week, today I had decided to purchase the chair if it was still there.

My lucky Day!

To my surprise there was a chair with a round seat not marked.

 I paid $ 7.50 for both chairs!

I'm using the chairs in the yard for potted plants.

I was late getting out to Yards Sales on Friday, but I did notice that my favorite yard sale had their sign out again on the street.  WOW did I found some great treasures!

I couldn't believe it!

I found a set of Americana shakers @ 5.00 a piece. I thought it was a great price for these amazing vintage shakers.

This little bundle of items I paid $5.00

as you know I've been on the hunt for vintage pipes to display on a recent found pipe stand, earlier this summer.

I really like the details on the pipes.

Happy Fall! Rearranging the Mantel

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm changing up the Mantel using 

yellows, oranges, greens and a touch of white. 

I thought my vintage green metal tackle boxes would look great on the mantel to hold the apple and a few vases filled with a few dried sunflowers and faux florals.

I also placed my newly found Fire King coffee mugs, at a yard sale this Summer, filled them with crab-apple from my yard.

I love how a few of my vintage emerald green and milk glass vase look in the mix, a vintage chalk-board, dried sun flower also from my yard this year.

***
I got the inspiration for adding corn stalk leaves and corn husk to the mantel from a wonderful blogger Brooke Johnson. She also has a you-tube channel with the same name.

I made this sunflower swag with twig from the yard and a bundle of faux florals, plus a bunch of corn stalk leaves from my garden and tied then together. I love how the swag turned out. 

The picture frame is a new item and I printed out a picture of a sunflower from my yard this year. pick apple in the green mug

I just love how the mantel came together using my thrifted treasures and adding a few of touches of nature.

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

Fall Swag Using Natural Elements for Mid-Autumn

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I was able to gather a few items to make a Fall swag

I'm using some corn stalk leaves, bits of tree limbs from my garden and faux flowers from my crafting supplies.

This seemed to be a pretty easy DIY, that took about 10 minutes, once I had all of the items I wanted to use together, then it was bundling like items together.

Step #1 - bundled the twigs

Step #2 - added corn stalk leaves

Step #3 - I made a little bundle of the faux flowers

 Step #4 - attached it to the branch bundle

with this swag I used a shade of orange sunflower and attached to a window frame in my entry room.

This yellow sunflower swag I placed on the window frame over my mantel

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what I have been doing this weekend. 

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting or what your ideas for decorating for Fall. 

 So until my next post......
