Small Haul from 'My Local Vintage/Thrift Store' - Weekend Thrifting

Hi Friends, I'm so glad your here! 

Today, stopped by my Local Vintage Thrift , They have a few new pieces of furniture, way out of my price range. However, I did find a couple of great treasures! 

***

The first, is this  1920-1930 wooden vintage frame by Eastom Kodak $12.00 with an adorable little girls picture is dated 1935

***

I also carried this treasure around for a while,the price was $7.50. I thought it might be a Pipe Rest or Ashtray, 

but once I got it home and cleaned it up a bit, I believe it is a Sears Roebuck and Co. Kitchy Earthtone Ceramic Spoon-Rest, maybe from the 70's?

I believe that means it is Vintage, Right?

I've placed the vintage spoon rest in a vignette on a shelf in the Familyroom.

 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.

Found a Few Useful Items Today-Friday Thrift Haul

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

As you may already know, I've been on the hunt for cubbby shelves, for my smalls.

Today, I'm so excited to share how I've made over two shelves I have thrifted this week, into small curio cubby cabinets.

I think this larger shelve will work nicely!

I had a bundle of firing strips from another project and thought, they might be good as backing for the shelf.

Heres the finished project ......................

I'm pleased how this project turned out.

***

I also picked up  a couple of books a couple of inspirational books for me.

 

I love this green hard back book and look at the intercover, so pretty.

I've still the book in a corner shelf in the familyroom.

***

a large 'Milk-Glass Vase' with a Diamond Pattern, I do not have in my collection

***

This piece was popular during the 70's

I paid 50 cents. I'll be stashing this cool framed mirror picture of a Fox, for my Fall decorating.

***

The last shelf

 I sanded it down with 220 sand papergave it a coat of green acrylic paint. 

 

Let it dry. I had some leftover crackling median and painted that on til a tacky stage and topped it with brown acrylic matte finish paint.

lightly sanded the shelf with 220 sand paper and wiped down the shelf with 'Antiquing Wax' to seal the project.
***

Not sure where this shelve home will be ......

so come back to see how I style this awesome shelf.
