Milk Glass and Vintage Oil Lamps Weekend Yard Sale Haul

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share this weekend yard sale.

haul.

There was so many great vintage pieces, however nothing was priced, so I was hesitating what to pick up.

This person was a crafter, lots of fabric in vintage suit cases, I know I don't need fabric! so, I left it for someone else, I do regret leaving the suit cases though.

***

I walked around several time being careful to only pick up items that I loved, because I wasn't sure how the items were priced.

I paid $5.00 for the 4 pieces

***

the two nice pieces of milk glass to add to my growing collection.

I also added the light blue enamel cup to the outdoor enamel collection here on the red cocktail cart.

I was super excited to find this beautiful vintage  lavender blown glass oil lamp. It looks great on the vanity

***

 then, the seller asked if I would be interested in a few more oil lamp and of course I said yes!

I've place these three lamps on a book shelf in the Family/Den until I receive the chimney's on order.

These lamps were so dirty two of them had old kerosene oil dried in the bottom, after wiping the glass lamps with a rag dipped in acetone and then in soapy dawn dish soap they came out nice and clean

$2.00 for 5 glass oil lamps.

I believe these two have found a home for now.

Happy Fall! Rearranging the Mantel

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm changing up the Mantel using 

yellows, oranges, greens and a touch of white. 

I thought my vintage green metal tackle boxes would look great on the mantel to hold the apple and a few vases filled with a few dried sunflowers and faux florals.

I also placed my newly found Fire King coffee mugs, at a yard sale this Summer, filled them with crab-apple from my yard.

I love how a few of my vintage emerald green and milk glass vase look in the mix, a vintage chalk-board, dried sun flower also from my yard this year.

***
I got the inspiration for adding corn stalk leaves and corn husk to the mantel from a wonderful blogger Brooke Johnson. She also has a you-tube channel with the same name.

I made this sunflower swag with twig from the yard and a bundle of faux florals, plus a bunch of corn stalk leaves from my garden and tied then together. I love how the swag turned out. 

The picture frame is a new item and I printed out a picture of a sunflower from my yard this year. pick apple in the green mug

I just love how the mantel came together using my thrifted treasures and adding a few of touches of nature.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week.

 I would love to hear how you'll be decorating for Fall in your home this season.

Fall Swag Using Natural Elements for Mid-Autumn

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I was able to gather a few items to make a Fall swag

I'm using some corn stalk leaves, bits of tree limbs from my garden and faux flowers from my crafting supplies.

This seemed to be a pretty easy DIY, that took about 10 minutes, once I had all of the items I wanted to use together, then it was bundling like items together.

Step #1 - bundled the twigs

Step #2 - added corn stalk leaves

Step #3 - I made a little bundle of the faux flowers

 Step #4 - attached it to the branch bundle

with this swag I used a shade of orange sunflower and attached to a window frame in my entry room.

This yellow sunflower swag I placed on the window frame over my mantel

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

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting or what your ideas for decorating for Fall. 

 So until my next post......
