Thrifting Hodge-Podge & Pumpkins!

I haven't done a thrifting post in a while (or any post for that matter) but I can assure you, it's not because I haven't been a Good-willing, flea-marketing, Garage sale-ing fool! Cause I have.  Here's a peek at some of my newest treasures! 

The beginning of my vintage mug collection

Avon milk glass mug, smurfy mug and Japanese ceramic mug

Japanese ceramic mod design mug, Care Bears birthday mug and the Avon milk glass psychedelic mug

Jazilyn's Super-awesome-Super-Mario-Brothers shirt!

Lots of additions to My Little Golden books collection

Poky Little Puppy original from 1942!

Small curio cabinet-Also an unfinished project hence the empty holes......

Huge curio shelf, $3 at a garage sale!  Someday this will house my mug collection but for now, it's a great dollhouse :)

 

 

 

 Here is my family of mini-painted pumpkins.  There are still 2 more, and I'm thinking of making them granny & grampa? 

 Here is mom, dad, baby and the spider-dog! :)

Also I have 3 big pumpkins to carve, any good carving ideas???

Oh yeah, 2 more unfinished projects......that pesky art history paper and my folklore midterm!!!  Better get on it :)

Collection Tuesday -Vintage Folk Art on Wood

Hello again :) It is day 2 of collection sharing week via Pixies and Bears.  I really like it, because it gives me a perfectly good excuse to procrastinate doing my homework! Today's collection is my little decorative wood pictures that I have only been collecting for mostly this past summer (other than a couple pieces.)  I got most of these from various Goodwills in the area.  I haven't even hung them yet! I think they're pretty sweet and I would like to arrange them in a sort of cluster all together in the dining room at some point. 

Here they be!

The last three are already hanging in my kitchen and they aren't included in the first picture.  Pretty cute, Eh?  :)

Collection Monday -Vintage Aprons

Hello all! :)  I have been a huge slacker on my blog since school started but, Lindsay of Pixies and Bears had a really cute idea to share our collections all week.  I am really more like a hoarder than a collector so I definitely think I can come up with something every day!  For my first collection I have vintage Aprons.  :)  I love these!  They range from 1950's to 70's.  I would love to eventually re-purpose them into clothing if I ever learn to sew. 

Here they are!
