Vintage Thrifting - a Couple of NEW Found Treasures Made in Japan -also a Few Vintage Glass Juice Jugs for Late Summer




Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! I've been thrifting again!

Today, I'm excited to share a couple new treasures I found to add to a Late-Summer Vignette.
***
***
I hope I can give you a few ideas how I've used vintage finds in my cottage decorating.
***
a pair of 1950's Rooster, made in Japan, not sure the manufacture.
aren't they a pride pair.
***
I purchased this creamer on half price day so I paid $2.00 for this amazing vintage creamer.
I'm guessing this a 'Majolic Basket Weave' pattern creamer, it is stamped Made in Japan.
***
Because it's the Harvest Season, I also dug out my Vintage Juice Jugs, I thrifted a box of six or seven glass juise jugs in a box for a $1.00 several years ago and haven't really incorporated them into my decor yet......
So Here We Go!

Vintage Juice Jugs
I found these free labels from free printables @ The Graphic Fairy.

***
 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by '"My Little Colorado Cottage' I found a few fun treasures this week to display in my cottage decor.

I would love to hear what you look for when you go thrifting and how you  style it in your home.

Late Summer Sunflowers From the Garden for my Seasonal Vignettes - Late Summer Decorating




Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 
Today, I'm so excited to share Sunflower's in the Garden
This is why I plant Sunflower every Spring in the Garden.

I really enjoy the pop's of Sunshine Yellow in my garden.

I also think dried Sunflowers look nice stuck here and there in 'Late-Summer' decorating.
 I would love to know, do you use dried florals in your seasonal decorating? 
If so, you may like this post from last year.

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