Vintage-Inspired Winter Decor on the Hutch


Hi Friends, 

Today, I'm making a few changes in my Entry Room, starting with the top of my Shelving Unit for the new year. 
***
I started by bringing a couple of vintage Budwiezer Mugs, I thought would fit with the winter theme, from down stairs and a pair of vintage ice-skates.

***
I'm glad your here to share the small touches I added to my Winter decor on the Hutch in my entry-room, just a few diy frosted pinecones, a few winter greens add a since of winter.
***
I looked around my house and found deer antlers to incorporate into this vignette,
also added a pair of vintage restaurant-ware coffee mugs for a cozy touch.
***
As you can see I left the rusty crusty lantern and just added pinecones

***

I left the vintage picnic basket, red throw and a few vintage red thermose, again for that cozy winter feel.
***

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what I have been up to. 
***
 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......

Winter - A Few New Vignettes on the Mantel - Snowmen and Red Birds


Hi Friends, 


 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share the mantel for Winter
I did leave the red lunch pail and a green tackle box on the mantel from Christmas
I'm loving the Vintage Putz Houses I thrifted last month, so I'm displaying them in my Winter Mantel. 

This cute felt Snowman Ornament is a new find last month amongst a trio of vintage medicine bottles
I decided to add a few of my Milkglass Vase to the vintage Bread Pan for a grouping with another cherished Putz House
I just picked up this cute circular wooden box with the snowmen playing outside.
Also, I grabbed a couple of vintage Mason 'Ball' canning jars to this adorable vignette and yet, another vintage  Putz House
Winter decor is the time to bring out Red Birds, in my opinion.
these two red birds were in a Grab-Bag I found last month with some Christmas ornaments.
The amazing Snowmen were cared by my Step-Dad
I found a adorable winter scene card at my local thrift store.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by 'My Little Colorado Cottage. 

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

 So until my next post......

I found some Wonderful Sewing Notions While Out Thrifting 12-29-2023


Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a Sewing Notions thrift haul.

I found two bundles of cotton gingham fabric for rustic country cottage crafting
the $ 4.00 bundle has 14 flat folds
and the $1.50 bundle has 3 flat fold pieces 
***
I also found a 50 cents box of sequins for adding sparkle to my crafts, 
***
I was super excited to find another Tomatoe Pincushion, a scrap of 2" Silver Ribbon, and  a scrap of 2 1/2" Poinsettia Print Ribbon.


I'll be putting the ribbon in to my ribbon stash for future projects
***
Lastly, I picked up a Pillow cover sewing kit, I thought the green material was felt, however, when I looked closer it was cotton with a cross-stitch pattern.  I'm thinking it might be a good gift for a friend or I might just use the kit for other sewing projects, we'll see!
