Happy Tuesday, Friends! It's time for this month's Creative Craft Blog Hop hosted by sweet Sara from Birdz of a Feather! Today I'm sharing a simple way to elevate a bud vase stand--please join me along with my talented blogger friends
Happy Monday, Friends! Although summer doesn't technically begin until next month, judging by the temperatures, Mother Nature forgot to inform Texas! Today I'm sharing a simple summer mantel pairing vintage milk glass and May garden blooms...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! There are times when I come across an item during my thrifting adventures that I am inexplicably drawn to. It may not be something that I would use in my decor, but there is an intuition that I've found something special. When it's an item that I haven't seen before, like this framed hand painted tile, it requires a little research on my part...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! This week's fab finds include two favorites among vintage collectors: milk glass and vintage linens....
TGITF Friends! The weather has been simply gorgeous here and I would swear even the thrift store shelves seem to sense that it is almost spring. I fell in love with this little bird shaped bud vase...
TGITF Friends! Don't you just love a great estate sale? Take a peek at this week's fabulous finds...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday! Don't you just love a pretty little teacup? I scored a trio of these vintage lovelies by Fire-King...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Today I am featuring newly listed retro finds. Let's start with this fabulous set of Town & Country Pyrex bowls from the 60s. The large bowl is a generous 4 quarts and the smaller, 1.5 quarts. Such a great pattern!
Thank God it's thrifty Friday! Today I have oodles of thrifty Vintage goodness to share with you--the kind that makes it worth getting out of bed on a rainy morning! I had been looking for milk glass candle sticks so I was thrilled to find both a tall and a shortie. My heart skipped a beat when I saw this divine Hazel Atlas plate with the luscious aqua scalloped rim! Ready for more? We're just getting started...
Greetings Friends, I'm so glad you are here! Are you ready for The Fourth? I bet you are ready for a nice long holiday weekend! Friday's Find offered some colorful ideas for decorating your garden with festive thrifted treasures. Today I am continuing the spirit with these cheery patriotic planters for your porch, patio or even indoors...
Greetings Friends! Today's Summertime feature is one for indoors. As temperatures rise don't you just want to keep everything from your clothes to your decor light and breezy? That works for me and is also the inspiration for my seasonal tablescape--white crisp cotton and cheerful pops of color, all from my collection of thrifted treasures. I will keep this fresh setting through the summer and Labor Day. Follow along for inspiration for your next jaunt to the thrift store...
Hello Friends! So glad you stopped by for another thrifty Friday! Today's fabulous find is from my recent trip to Denver when I went to see Dear Firstborn graduate with honors AND be honored as Outstanding Graduate in Art History! Pardon me while I brag a little--I am just so proud of her! After all of the graduation festivities, DF took me to a sweet little antique shop with great prices where I scored this pretty Vintage pitcher. It is the perfect yellow for my kitchen and don't you love it filled with Blue Sage? The inside has a milk glass look, like many Fire-King and Pyrex pieces. However, it is not marked and I have not been able to find any like it. If anyone can identify the manufacturer. Update: Vintage Hazel Atlas Platonite Creamer I sure would appreciate your feedback and as always, I would love to hear about your most recent treasures!
Until next time, happy hunting!
Greetings Friends! Not only is today's feature fabulous Fire-King, it's also gorgeous gray! I really thought I had seen all of the lovely patterns until I came across this dreamy Gray Laurel manufactured by Anchor Hocking from the 40s-60s. It has the texture of milk glass with that trademark opalescent luster. You are probably thinking that I really don't need more dishes which is true...Did I mention they were 75% off?! Did I also mention that gray and turquoise is my new favorite color combination? Sigh...if thrifting is my addiction, I have to confess Vintage dishes are my drug of choice. Hi, my name is Cecilia and I'm a dish-aholic :)
After making a long list of sales to attend, I started my morning in anticipation. I attended an estate sale, six yard sales and a thrift store without any luck. I was starting to think I might go home empty handed but still had a few more stores to try. At my last stop I struck gold--or should I say primroses! Fire-King Primrose was manufactured only from 1960-1962. It is a pretty little floral pattern set against white milky glass. About a year ago, I bought two teacups with saucers and some baking dishes for a great price at an estate sale. However, I never purchased any plates because the only time I have seen them, the price was too high. Today I found two for 50% off-- perseverance is a virtue when thrifting!
