Looking For Vintage Treasures - Weekend Thrifting

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

This weekend at my local thrift store, pink tags were $.50 each and I found a few items for my Granddaghter I think she'll love. 

*** 

I looked throught the book section and was plesantly surprised to find a Hymnal for $.50

1st Hymnal I've ever found out thrifting.

***

"Blogging For Dummies", I can always learn a little more about Blogging!

***

 One of my Grandsons love to Juggle, I saw this book and thought of him.

***

I also, spied the two useful glass measuring cups, the large two cups is a FireKing for $1.50

and the one cup is a Pyrex for $1.00

I may use for decor above the kitchen cabinets

***

I have been eyeing these cups for a while, they were priced at $2.50 each, today I paid $1.25 each for the black enamel cups.

I'll be using these enamel cups for entertaining on the deck, this summer
***

I been wanting to get a collection of Blue Currier Ives flatware for some time at a reasonable price.

Today was the day........I've been watching this blue Currier Ives tea cup for sometime, it was priced at $5.00, thinking the price was a bit high for one cup.

Today, I was able to purchase the cup for $2.50

I'll be collecting a pieces at a time, I have a feeling.
***

I also have been watching two Hommer Laughlin Vintage "Pastoral Plowing the Fields" green
 bowls for $10.00 each! 

I'm playing the waiting game.

Vintage-Inspired Valentine Vignette on My Vintage RCA Record Player

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm arranging the top of my vintage RCA record player.

***

This vignette I used a rustic nut bowl as a riser with a oval wooden picture frame as a platter to group a the amazing California Pottery vase, I added rose pedal to a vintage Mason Jar, and a Milkglass refridgerator dish with a few small pinecones. 

The cute '1941' Doggie Valentine is one of three vintage Valentine I purchased on a on-line auction.

***

In the center I used a vintage Silver-Plate platter and group another vintage Mason Jar and a purchase, a Silver-Plate covered sugar bowl. For a bit of interest, I also added a cute vintage cookie cutter and a few glass door knobs.

***

In the third grouping I also incorporated a vintage Mason Jar filled with Eucalyptus stems, and diy 

Red Heart Picks. 

Last Feburary, I won a small lot of vintage Valentine Card, (on a online auction) that I have added to these groupings.

This adorable Valentines Card dates back to '1929'

'1936' is the date on this super nice Valentine Card.

Last January, I made a few adorable Paper Mache Snowmen for my Winter vignettes.
