Vintage-Inspired Hand-Made Chicks For Spring

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share how I hand-made these sweet little chicks

I start with a small pipe cleaner

I twisted the pipe cleaner to a strip of aluminum foil. 

 start building a bird form adding a little mow aluminum foil

I cover the aluminum foil with the paper-clay I used to hand-made the vintage-inspired snowmen back in January.

Lately I've been following a wonderful artsy You-Tuber Rosanna at "Rosanna Makes"

she is fun to watch, she has great techniques, you will enjoy her content. Please go visit her channel.

*****

I added yellow water-color paint to my water-glue mixture for brushing on the cotton over the paper-clay.

Rosanna uses cotton/diluted glue wash to finish off her sculptures'.  Please visit her channel it's lovely.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what I have been working on this week. 

I would love to hear what you have found been up to this week.

So until my next post......

Friday Vintage Thrifting for Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends,

I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few great Treasures I found this week out thrifting.

Because, I do have a vintage record player I decided to pick up a few records to display on top of the player this Summer.

I love the graphic on this sleeve and also the picture of the whole 'Guy Lombardo Band on the album.

(which you can't see so well)

*****

A silver- plate low sided basket or serving platter for

 $3.00.

*****

Super adorable framed picture of a 

child praying, just couldn't leave it behind. Can't really see, but the little girl has her dolls lined up praying with her, So Cute.

*****
Last thrifting outing, I past these cutie candles two weeks ago.  This week they were still there, so I picked them up for $.75 each.

Was not able to find any information about these cuties, so not sure if there vintage or not. They could be newer, maybe from Russ Berry Company?

*****

Oh by the way, you may have notice I also picked up a ramekin or jelly jar I normally pick these kinds of canning jars use for snacks- (like nuts, pudding, chip, berries).

***

Cute vase made in Italy for FTD I'm going to gift it to a friend with a new baby start from a Mother Spider Plant.

*****

A bag of three embroidery thread spools-$1.50

I use the spools for décor in my sewing nook and you never know I might do some crocheting and need a spool. HA HA

*****

I just could not pass up a bag of 'Rick-Rack' for $2.50  there were 'NINE' different colors in the bag, to go out and buy at a fabric store I would pay between $2.00 to $3.50 a package.  Good Buy! 

This bundle will be going into my crafting stash

Spring/Easter Vintage-Inspired Vignettes on the Entry-room Hutch

Hi Friends, 

I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few vignettes on the Entry-Room Hutch.

 I started with placing the yellow faux-florals and pip berries, I have gathered over the years.

This first vignette I'm sharing has one of my newly vintage post-cards 

finds 

post-marked April 9, 1914 with a 1- cent stamp. Detroit To: Grambroch  Ontario, Canada, From: Billie.  So beautiful.

Cute thrifted Chenille yellow chick sits in a nest of shredded newspaper, (saw this idea on You-Tube.)

****

 The second shelf I have displayed the thrifted Log Cabin souvenir plate from the Ozark's.

I'm using the "Little Chenille Chick" I thrifted a few weeks ago, and sprinkle them through-out my Spring-Easter décor.

****

Next, I found the berry baskets, I thrifted a couple of Springs ago.

Next, I've placed painted plastic eggs in a variety of sizes, in vases and jars 

another one of the super cool thrifted post-cards, it didn't have a post-mark, but it was from: Orval to: grandpa 

*****

This is another New vintage Easter Post-Card, I purchased at a On-line Auction last week, so cute with two bunnies holding a giant Easter Egg with a cute yellow Chick standing on top of the egg.

I also decided to use the faux Daffodil bulbs I hand-made last Spring

Lastly, in this vignette I used a thrifted frame fruit bowl photo I found last Spring from my local Vintage/Thrift Store.

In a thrifted vase I added a few more hand-painted plastic eggs a couple of sprigs of pip-berries.

A pair of super adorable bunnies I thrifted from my local Budget Thrift Store several years back. The vintage post-card is another card in the bundle I purchased at a on-line auction.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see some of my Spring vignettes using some of my treasures I have found out thrifting.

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