Decoratoring with Thrifted Christmas Tins - Showing you How I'm Using the New Vintage Christmas Tins in my Christmas Decor




Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 
Today, I'm so excited to share how I'm using the new Christmas tins, 

I found out thrifting last month. 


at first, my thought was to use the vintage Christmas tins on the shelf above the kitchen cabinets, 

well....
 I did use the red candy stripe tin as a riser and I thought the winter cabin scene would look nice
 together in this vignette.
***

I used the cream colored poinsetta tin as a riser with a sprig of faux floral in the vignette.

***

The awesome Curries and Ives tin went upon the hutch, I love the winter scene on this tin.

*** 
The pair of white candle tin, I thought gave a nice touch of color.

Welcoming the Christmas Season -Getting Ready to Decorate for Christmas

It Snowed Over Thanksgiving Week

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 
Tomorrow is the first day of December, and I'm digging out my Christmas bins. 

I have a few traditions I tried to incorporate....

1.Count down stocking
- I like having a count down to Christmas, it build the excitement and helps me remember all of the extracurricular activities that go on during the Christmas season!

2.Christmas Cards
- I still like sending and receiving Christmas cards, a couple of years back I revamped my Christmas card holder.

3. Garland
- Garland is the starting point to my decorating, so I like to get the garland up before I start adding Christmas touches.
This is two of three tubs I have with garland.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by My Little Colorado Cottage.

It's time to Decorate for the Season!

 So until my next post......

5 Grab Bags of Fun Christmas Ornaments - Weekend Thrifting


Hi Friends, 


 I'm so glad you stopped by!
I decided to go by my local thrift store looking for vintage Christmas items. 
I found five bags of wonderful ornaments!
***
I picked this bag because of the glitter star....

 I paid $2.00 for the grab bag, look at the cute bicyle, sliegh, and sled, so adorable.
***

Next bag for $1.50.....
I've been on the look-out for small Mercury glass bulbs and I found a bag full! Plus small brass jingle bells.
***

This grab bag for $.75 had a few of the ornaments with a 'made in Japan sticker'.... 

I thought the little deer in the silver tinsel star was cute.
***

I couldn't pass up the bag of candle clips for $.50! I'm hoping to add to some garland.

***
The last grab bag had some awesome ornaments for $2.50...

 I enjoy using 'Crochet Angels and Snowflakes in my Christmas decor, not sure if I'll hang them on a tree or use them in a vignette. 
A few more country hand-made ornaments, a super darling Angel Fairy.
Look at these cute bunny ear fairies, I think I'll be holding on to these darlings to use in my Easter decor in the Spring. A few cross-stitch ornaments and the yarn dolls are cute, Im not sure if I'll use them on my Christmas tree this year.
***
 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.
