Vintage Thrifting Weekend - Wooden Cheese Boxes - Online Auction


Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 
***
Today, I'm so excited to share  a few treasures I purchace at a on-line sale.
***
I was excited to be able to bid on two wooden cheese boxes for a pretty good price - $5.00 each.

I'm using the 'Pimento Cheese Box' to hold a few Americana nic-nac's on top of a hutch in my entry-room
***


Right now I'm using the 'Kraft Brick' wooden cheese boxes in my Summer Vingettes on the Mantel


*** 
When the pack of 'Praying Hands Sticker' came up for bid........
 it took me back to the days of Sabbath School when I was little,  we would get sticker for attendence
do you remember these stickers?
This sweet seller threw in the extra epherema for scape booking or crafts.
***
Lastly, these adorable tiny dolls,

I just couldn't pass up the vintage 'Indian Cheif Doll' for $8.00, which is a little high for me to spend. I just couldn't resist.
1950's St. Labre Indian Catholic School.

I have a room for the Grandkids when they come to visit and I display my collection of nostigic Old West paraphernalia 
***

This cute little 1950's 3" plastic 'Baby Boy Doll' I purchased for $3.00 to add to a few other plastic 3" dolls that I have with different poises. 


This cute 3" Baby Doll is a composite Doll from the 50's
made in Japan
I purchased the Baby Doll for $5.00

Vintage-Inspired Summer Decorating - Americana - Coca Cola Collection


Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm sharing how I have added Vintage-Inspired Summer  vibes to the top of my China Hutch
In the corner here I stuffed a few strands of Vintage Blue/Red Aluminum Foil Garland, I had thrifted a few years ago in the Gumball Machine. 
Behind the Gumball Machine is a Coca-Cola Tray I found at a Auction back in the late 70's.
the large Ball Canning Jar is a thrifted find from my trip to Illinois to see family last Spring Break.
***

In the thrifted Vintage Coca-Cola Crate I combined a few Coca-Cola Bottles with small American Flags,
 along with a Leather Baseball Mit & Baseball
my one and only Ironestone Pitcher.

I also included a Vintage Coca-Cola Stainglass logo 16oz tumbler, with a few of my Handmade Cloth Posies
***
I decided to change this area up a bit, by adding a Metal Tackle Box
Earlier this year I found two bags of Fishing Bobbins, thinking at the time they would look great in my Summer decorating. I believe I paid $5.00 in total.
I also added a few ffishing pole items to the Tackel Box
The Handmade Wooden Sign I did many years ago, just a scrap piece of wood I painted red and painted 'God Bless America'
I hope you enjoyed seeing how  I have brought a few Americana touches to my Coca-Cola Collection.
