Vintage-Inspired Valentine Vignette on My Vintage RCA Record Player

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm arranging the top of my vintage RCA record player.

***

This vignette I used a rustic nut bowl as a riser with a oval wooden picture frame as a platter to group a the amazing California Pottery vase, I added rose pedal to a vintage Mason Jar, and a Milkglass refridgerator dish with a few small pinecones. 

The cute '1941' Doggie Valentine is one of three vintage Valentine I purchased on a on-line auction.

***

In the center I used a vintage Silver-Plate platter and group another vintage Mason Jar and a purchase, a Silver-Plate covered sugar bowl. For a bit of interest, I also added a cute vintage cookie cutter and a few glass door knobs.

***

In the third grouping I also incorporated a vintage Mason Jar filled with Eucalyptus stems, and diy 

Red Heart Picks. 

Last Feburary, I won a small lot of vintage Valentine Card, (on a online auction) that I have added to these groupings.

This adorable Valentines Card dates back to '1929'

'1936' is the date on this super nice Valentine Card.

Last January, I made a few adorable Paper Mache Snowmen for my Winter vignettes.

I hope I gave you inspiration in styling your thrifted treasures.

Of course, I can not style a vignette with a touch of thrifted Pip-Berries. I found a pip berry garland, last some that was in rough shape, but with a little red paint to spruced it up! it looks great!

Vintage Winter vignettes- Top of China Hutch

I'm so glad your here!

Hi Friends, 

Today, I'm so excited to share how the area on top of the china hutch looks for the Winter season.

As you can see I did leave the red thermose,I looked around my home for something to add which are the stack of stonware plates and a white enamel bowl filled with diy frosted pinecones.

I also added a nice treasure I found this month, a small round silver-plate caddy. $1.50

I added three small milk-glass jars I had to lighten up this vignette

In the corner as you can see I just added some winter greenry and a little red bird.

in this area I added a collection of pinecones and a cute little 'Snowbaby' figurine I thought the Polar Bear looked good in my Coca-Cola area.
