New Finds - Decorating with Thrifted Copper Pieces - Thrifting for Vintage

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share  a few new finds and a little rearranging my Summer decor.

***

What a surprise when I found the two copper molds, WOW!

the fruit basket was marked $3.00 each, I paid $1.50

I have a wall in my kitchen where I made a small collection of my thrifted copper molds

I think the two new molds look great on this wall.

This copper-plate planter for $3.00/ $1.50, is going to look great with my Fall Decor or possibly outside on front porch.

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.

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here!

not a single chip, so beautiful.
