How I have incorporated Last Friday Thrift Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share, how I have incorporated these recently thrifted treasures into my home décor.  I hope to inspire you to go out and find vintage treasures for your collections and home décor.

The amazing Gelot Paris marked hat box..........

I thought would look very nice with my pair of vintage suitcase, I thought the map back-drop is a nice touch don't you think?

the super cool calendars I have pinned up in the guest rooms

I really like this 1955 vintage calendar I hung one of the guest room. 

The 1911 calendar is hanging in the other guest room that my grandsons stay in.

Atlas Canning jar........

I have another Atlas canning jar that I think I'll group them together in the wire bottle crate

here on top of my entry-room shelving unit.

The amazing wooden thread spools went into the large jar in my sewing nook..........

These smiley garden sun plaques are resting on the side of my garden shed.

I did give the gray sun medallion a lighter shade of yellow, it looks happier, don't you think?

I hope I gave you a few ideas, by showing you how I incorporated my thrifted vintage finds into my décor.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by. 

Just a look at the Daisy's in my yard.

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

 So until my next post......

Hunting for vintage Treasures at Local Yard Sales

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share what I found going to a few yard sale this weekend. I found some very nice vintage treasures for my home décor!

***

First treasure,

I picked up was this vintage Atlas canning jar with wooden thread spools for $1.00 Yea!

Then,

I first notice this very cool oval hat box it was not priced, I walked around looking at other items, not sure what price I wanted to offer, so I just ask what was the price for the hat box? The lady said $2.00 and there are some old calendar in the box.  WHAT? I could believe it! Not sure if its vintage or not but, so cool! 

It is stamped Gelot - Paris -  12 Place Vendo'me         

and inside the lid is a photo of 12 Place Vendo'me in Paris

 

 the Cunard Line Stateroom Baggage sticker is what caught my eye

Plus in side the box were two vintage calendars and a a Conoco expense book

A 1936-1937 Conoco expense record booklet

vintage calendar 1955

another calendar - 1911

Lastly,

these great Sun plaques, I'll be hanging them out in the garden.
