1st Yard sale went back to a month long sale- a great day - I found three Yard sales this weekend

Hi Friend,

It was a great weekend to go to a yard sale.

I went back to a place that was having a yard sale through the month of June.

I found this GREAT chair for $5.00!

I believe this three leg stool hadn't been used I paid $3.00 for it, I put it with our camping things.

This large pot for $18.00, kind of high price I thought but this pot is very large

These items $3.00 will be going into my camping gear

This is a awesome compass had stamped Japan for $5.00. My grandson spied it, so I gifted it to him.

This amazing blue enamel sauce pan I'm using out door décor I think.

I was so excited when I spied the old bucket wringer for $5.00, it will also go out in the garden.

Two boxes of Christmas ornaments, two wreaths and a large tree stand and several strands of Christmas lights.

Please check out my Christmas in July that I will be posted July 25th, to see what I hauled in.

3rd yard sale had a box of local political buttons, not sure the year

local business wooden tokens

light weight metal tokens

I've been looking for small size books to use as risers- jackpot!

1940's there is not a copyright date in the book

4th yard sale-had wooden embroidery hoops Christmas stationary and a 1000 piece puzzle

*****

I went back to the 1st yard sale to see if the suit cases were still there the price on the suit cases were $25.00 yesterday, so I past them up. But today I got the pair for $15.00!  I probably could had gotten them cheaper, but the ladies did such a great deal on the other thing I bought, the suit cases were well worth the $15.00 to me.

Aren't they get! I can't wait to display them.

What a great weekend of thrifting! I have so many treasures and can't wait to finish incorporating these treasure in to my home décor.

I want to thank you for checking out the blog, Please check back to see how I display the awesome set of suit cases.  I'm trying to post at least once a week, with thrift hauls, vignettes of where I show off the vintage treasures I find and a few pic's at my seasonal home decorating inside and out,

Until next time......

Vintage Thrifting-Linens and a Mother Load of Table Games

 Hi Friends,

This weekend I found some great treasures.  So many treasure I brought home, that I'm splitting my thrift haul up into two posts.

Today I'm sharing this vintage thrift haul over at Vintage Charm Party #351

This first sale I got this box for $12.00. I found a lot of linens that were so unique.

Vintage hankie

I love the three hand embroidered place mats with birds and 7 miscellaneous cloth napkins

Look at this darling embroider tea towel with a pair of kittens, So Cute!

I'm not sure what the embroider cup is used for, but I purchased it because of the delicate stitching.

The lovely green end table scarfs will look great in my seasonal March décor.

A couple more doilies to use in my country/cottage décor

I just love the detail and the time it took someone to do this craft, it should be cherished.

I'm not sure if I'll frame this beautiful piece, I think I might finish it and then frame it.

This particular dish towel catch my eye. I remember my Grandmother had a set of the multiple stripe dish towel

I hung this dish towel on a grater that on the side of a cabinet.

These pretty blue trimmed table scarfs are so cheery pretty I place them on the night stands in a guess room.

*****

Also in that box I stuffed a few trinkets a little blown glass fawn/deer

Two sets of bowlers I think their used for a cake topper.

Glass strawberry, I thought it might be a pendent but there not a way to attach to a chain

Amethyst is my birthstone so I put it in the box 

super excited about the milk glass jar caps I'll be using with my collection of canning jars.

*****

A couple set of S&P the little lady with the guitar is a salt shaker 

and the cute pair of fish S&P are housed in the cabinet.

Check this out this pair of fish S&P has a Japan sticker

also a vintage 1847 Brigham Young souvenir copper S&P

*****

cute little perfume bottles, the middle bottle has a lady painted on the front and flowers on the back.  Have them setting in a small tray on top of a dresser.

*****

This 3 in 1 wooden handle grater with three extra shredder size plates was a interesting find and a wire spoon

*****

This sweet resin kitchen plaque 

This was given as a wedding gift, I believe the message on the back "Given to Pat and Denmark by Uncle Vere"

I'm going to try and give it a little facelift.  Check back to seen if my facelift worked out.

*****

Love crochet hot pads, I have a small collection in the kitchen

*****

The wooden handle masher, wire spoon and the scoop went up on the kitchen cabinet shelf

Vintage Thrift Haul - To My surprise the Vintage Thrift Store was Open on Sunday!

 Hi Friends,

I stopped by my local vintage thrift store Sunday to see what was new. and of course I did find a few great treasures

This very cute bird house for out side has a little roof damage that I believe I can fix

I have a few rusty old license plates that worked perfectly nice roof for this bird house

Going into this store one of the items I was looking for are vintage glass insulators. The last time I had shop at this store, I believe I had seen insulators there before, unfortunate they only had clear insulators and wanted $6.00 each! I was a little disappointed, usually the prices are a bit lower. I did find this little clear insulator for $2.00

I made a list of projects I would like to do this summer in my yard  and the insulator is on the list.  I need to collect a few more insulators.

*****

In the back of the store they have lots of picture, I was rummaging through the picture frames, when I saw these great oval frames for a $1.50 a piece and they have glass, wow! 

So exciting, Aren't they beautiful?

As you can see I place one of the frames on a shelf with my brush copper treasures.

The other frame went up on the hutch

*****

In this little vignette, I used the vintage doily under the cute little hen sitting on a horse shoe nest.

*****

And the other treasure I found was this tooth pick caddy so stinkin' cute, for a $1.00

I think this spot in the vintage Pepsi crate is prefect.

Well that the end of this thrifting haul. 

Thank you for taking time out of you day to stop by my blog.  I'm trying to post every week
