Thrift Finds Here and There Around the House

Hello my friends.  It’s day three of our ‘Creating Christmas’ party.  It has been so fun and if you missed any of the other guests post you MUST go see their fabulous Christmas!   Cecilia from  My Thrift Store Addiction is going to share how she uses thrift finds in her Christmas décor.

She’s so very creative and I’m sure there will be plenty of ideas for you and I!

Don’t forget to link up with Lynn and Alice if you haven’t already.

 

 

I love mixing thrift finds in with new here and there throughout my home.

I think this display with my shiny brites, a rustic bucket, and velvety soft deer has to be one of my favorites this year.  These thrift finds cost me less than $12.

 

 

And look at these two white beauties that I snagged just yesterday.  They were in the collectors case so a little more pricey,  $15 for the set of two.  Their plaid bows told me that they wanted to come home with me. lol!  I found the plaid tote last year and I added some festive greenery, a wintry spray, and berries to it.

 

 

I was so excited when I ran across this little tree topper for .75 cents!

 

 

I’ve never met a skate I didn’t like. I paid $5 for each of these.  Not at the same time, but years apart.  The little pair hanging on my sled is a child’s pair that I scored in WI while on vacation 4 years ago.  I love that they say, Lake Placid.

 

 

Finding vintage items in thrift stores just makes my heart soar!  Loved these little icy bells!

 

 

 

These lamb bookends made it into my living room mantle.  You can read about it here.

 

 

And this $2 sign was perfect for my outdoor theme in the bedroom.  It was awfully dirty when I ran across it, but nothing a little soap and water couldn’t fix.

 

 

I’ve used more of my shiny brites in a birdcage on the table along with a cake dome and red glass plate that were also thrift finds.

 

 

In the living room a $2 gravy boat holds a bleached bottle brush tree.  They are housed in a cabinet made from old windows.

 

 

Found treasures are used here in a baking display in the kitchen.

 

 

Two vintage candles were snagged yesterday for $.75 each.  I love that they are a little time worn!

 

 

Little treasures displayed in a rustic pink cabinet.

 

 

 

Never enough vintage ornaments!  Never could I pass up a box of them at a thrift shop.

 

 

Imagine my surprise when I found this lying on a shelf for $.75 cents as well.  Not even her red boots or stole were missing.  Sweet Little Madame!

 

 

And how could I resist a fun box of snow?  Love those graphics!

 

 

Anymore when I go to our local thrift store it is just packed with people.  It’s a wonder I find any thing.  But I’m happy to say that I never walk out empty handed!

 

How about you?  Any treasures lately?

 

hugs,

Jann
