Summer Americana Vignette in the Entry-Room - Vintage Record Player - Tier Tray

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share my handmade tier tray from baking pans!

The top tier of my tier tray is a cake pan.

 As you can see I added a vintage-inspired Patriotic Assemblage I crafted last Summer in a mercury glass-inspired mason jar.

I also incorporated a 'Thrifted Light Blue Vintage Doily', a Hand-Made Cloth poise 

Diy Painted Stars

and a couple of vintage 'Star Shape Cookie Cutters', with a few embellishments.

'Thrifted Army Services Regulation Military' patch, thrifted 'Wooden Thread Spool' with blue logo

and in the back another Diy Poppies

***

The  second tier is a pie pan, 

on it I've collected 'Wooden Spools' of colored thread,

 'Children Letter Blocks', 

a 'Vintage Jar of Buttons', 

'Vintage Cookie Cutters', 

and a few 'Hand-Made 'Red Poppies', to display on this second tier.

also, I added a Ferry Boat Souvenir 'Tacoma Washington'

(I lived in a small harbor town just across the Pudget Sound from Tacoma).

***

The base of my tier tray is a pizza pan, 

I place vintage 'Aluminum Cookie Cutter'and a 'Vintage Dairy Bottle Cap' 

a pair of 'Whiskey Sour Shot Glass', Cocktail Sticks,

 a set of Children's Metal Jacks, 

 a few Metal Vintage Thread Bobbins and a Vintage Metal Toy Airplane.

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

I hope I gave you some Ideas of what I look for when I'm thrifting. 

Also give you some inspiration to use your thrifted treasure in your home.

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

 So until my next post...... 

May God Bless You and Your Family.

Vintage Treasure Shopping - Vintage Nancy Ann Dolls - 1/2 price day

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

I just could not believe my eyes....

I actually found a small bag of 6 Vintage Dolls for $10.00

***

I'm slowly learning about 1930 - 1940 dolls

I believe this cute pair of hard plastic dolls are called 'Embassy Costume Dolls' I was not able to find any markings to tell me otherwise.

This adorable Burnette doll is wearing a 

pink taffeta/netting for the bodice and a cream color bow at the waist. The rest of the dress is made of cream satin material with a pink satin ruffle on the hem, seems to be a little faded but in good shape.

***

Such a sweet face with hand-painted eyes and lips

***

This copper tone redhead's dress has a gray color taffeta/netting used for the bodice and has a peach color satin skirt with a light gray taffeta/netting trim on the hem

this doll also has hand-painted blue eyes and lips.

***

This cutie was stamped 'Princsee Ann'

as you can see she has hand-painted eyes and lips

she is a bique doll with ginger color morhair.

'Princess Ann' is wearing a gold-tone satin dress with fringe embelishments.

the bag of 6 vintage dolls was priced at $20.00 I was shopping on half price day.

***

This is why I brought the bag home!

'Nancy Ann Dolls'

I've been collecting 'Nancy Ann Storybook' doll for a couple of years, so was very excited to have found three of the dolls were 'Nancy Ann Dolls' in very nice shape and the clothing was in great shape.

This cutie is part of the 'Operatta Series' 

her name is 'Bloomer Girl', 

because she is wearing red pantaloons,

I'm sad her shoe tips are broke:(

this cutie has a bisque body and hand-painted eyes and lips

***

I haven't been able to find a name or series for this   'Nancy Ann Doll'. Very cute red, white, and blue striped dress with lace trim,

but she also has a bisques body, morhair wig, and hand-painted eyes and lips.

***

Lastly, this adorble little 'Nancy Ann Doll' with a felt bonnet

yellow satin dress with a cream color eyelet apron, so cute.

I hope you enjoyed my thrift haul today,  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 Changed My Mind and Repainted The Small Bamboo Organizer

Hi Friends, I'm so glad your here! 

Remember the small bamboo organizer I thrifted awhile back and painted it green and crackle it?

I thought the brown paint made it to dark, so I painted another two coats of kelly green over the entire shelf.

I think I like this better, I have thought about news print on the back of the cubbies, but

I'm happy with the way this small shelf turned out.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by, let my know what you think of my flip.
