Hi Friends,

We have had rain storms for the past couple of days, so I thought I'd stop by my local thrift store and found some fun treasures!

First items,
were a few milk glass vases for $1.50 and a planter/urn for $5.00 each to add to my collection.

Then, 
I picked-up two little fancy vases that will look great on the vanity in the guest room.

1940-1950 cornucopia sweetheart ivory vase 22kt gold trim

Art-Nouvean 'Rose Relief' vase.

I was very excited when I noticed these three vintage 'Ball' rubber sealing rings used in canning food. The color of the boxes look great added to this vignette on the cubby unit in my entry room.

Beautiful 'Fall color' - USA California Pottery planter for $3.00, will look amazing with fall florals. Right now, I just filled the planter with some rusty crusty springs.

Earlier this summer one of my vintage glass feeder broke, I've been looking for a plastic bottle to make the feeder usable. I found one today for $3.00

Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 

First,
I want to show you these cute shakers I paid $1.00 each, as you know I like collecting vintage shakers.

Searching Google, I was not able to find to much information about these adorable shakers.
I think they were made in the 1960's, a few of the sets are marked 'Japan'.

Next,
Two interesting Books...

 a "King James Holy Bible" which is always nice to have a back-up.

and "Western Yesterdays Series" - 
this particular book has stories of the old west, I think it will be a good read.

This adorable 1950's "Thames" piece, hand  painted Bible verse (John 15:13) with the cute Cherub figurine, was also in the shakers box $1.00. I will be giving this cute piece to a friend.
