Christmas is Around the Corner! - Friday Thrift

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! I stopped by my local thrift store and found a fannel shirt for me $4.00, but why I stopped by the thrift store was to look for Christmas wreath on sale.

I have my eyes on a couple of Christmas wreaths and was hoping Christmas wreaths would be half off, I was very suprised every I bought was discounted!

***

 I though this Eucalyptus Wreath was beautiful,

for $5.00, which really is not a bad price.

***

I have also been keeping an eye out on this cute little snowman hat for a $1.00, I'm still not sure how I'm going to display it.

***

I thought the foil cupcake tins ($.50 were cool and had Christmas color to display on a kitchen shelf.

***

( The item is the bag is a Multiplication gadget for practicing multiplication facts. $.75)

***

As you know....I love to pick up grab-bag and this bundle of horses, (for $2.50) was prefect for the grandkids.

***

Grab-Bag of  1950 or 1960's plastic Holly and Berry stems. ($3.50)

I've been using some the these stem for outside decor.

The label

***

Looking in the Sporting Goods area I found a Stanley thermos for $3.00.

***

Two wonderful kid christmas movies $1.00 each.

***

A bag of 12 Santa Shower Curtain Hooks, How Cool!

I'm going to use them as decor or maybe magnets,

(I just easly brook the hook of the back)

***

Lastly, a wooden shoe form for $8.00 I paid $4.00. I think the painting is so sweet I might leave it alone.

***

What to put in Vintage Mason Jars?....... Christmas Sparkle!

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

How do you decorate with Mason Jar for Christmas?

Today, I'm so excited to share how I'm decorating with Ball Mason Jars.

***

I started with just bits and pieces of pinecorns and whole nuts

A couple of weeks ago I found a Grab-Bag of Candle Clips and thought they would add sparkle to the Mason Jar Grouping.

***

Last year I gather a bunch of Brass Bells and the they would also would sparkle and of course the red ribbon gives color.

***

This jar was a easy fix, I keep a Mason Jar full of Rose Hip year round

***

for this Mason Jar I added berries and holly leaves and sparkly twigs.

A Collection of Vintage Creche

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

This year I've combined my Nativities and displayed them on top of the vinyage RCA Record Cabinet.

My very first Creche was this cool "Italian Neapolitan Presepio Creche" I found at a yard sale back in 1992

***
 

 The next, Nativity was this Vintage German Pyramid Windmill Carousel I found a a Thrift Store in 2010

The top tier has the Angels with trumpets

the middle tier has the Shepards and their sheep

The bottom tier are the Wisemen and their Camels

At least twenty years ago, I found a grab-bag of 11 Nativity figurines. I wouldn't have paid more that $5.00, I'm sure.

***

Two years ago, while was out searching out yard sales I found this framed Nativity. The figurines are crafted from corn husks, I thought was unique. (the Angel was a Christmas gift from my husband).

***

Lastly, is this cute Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus creche that I also found at a yard sale.

***

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see some of my collections. 

 I would love to know do you collect Nativity Sets?
