Spring/Summer Outside Decor 2023-Outside of Porch-Mostly Thrifted Items

     Hello thrifty mommas!! Was excited to get my spring/summer decor put up for this year. I only got the outside of my porch done so far but I am happy with it. I went with a garden/white accent them this year. I have had the picket fence bench for years and never really used it I love the worn look of it. I got the white step ladder at a yard sale last year for $2, the tool box with flowers and succulents in it came from the storage unit sale for only $2! I bought the duck statue recently at walmart my son loves birds so we had to give him a home. The various pots I have had for a while again they came from yard sales and thrift stores. The welcome sign came from goodwill earlier this year for only $10. The flag pole and flag are pioneer woman that I found at walmart! I love pioneer woman and these were very reasonably priced at 8.88 a piece and they had other flags too. I got the flowers at walmart too they were only $2 a piece. I am very happy with how it turned out and the fact that 95% is thrifted is even better...... 

 

More Easter Decor for 2023-Bunny's Bunny's and more Bunny's

     Hello thrifty mommas!! This is an accumulative haul of items from the past few weeks of my mom and I's adventures in thrift/vintage shopping. The first couple of pics are from a couple of antique stores we went to out of town. I have started a new hunt recently for wooden mashers and vintage butter molds on this trip I found a few of those items which is always good! Everything in the top pic came from one antique store and it was $30 for it all of course my favorite has to be the butter molds but the bunny's are cute. The second pic was from a different antique store there is one valentine item (the napkin) in this grouping I had to have it for next year all together I paid $30 for these items too. 

     The two books in pic 2 was purchased at a storage unit yard sale I love to go to they was $1 a piece. The third pic is a ceramic bunny from the 60s that I am in love with look at his adorable face! I found him an a junk store I go to alot in my area they sometimes have some really neat items he was only $10! The last pic was from a week ago when my mom and I went to a few stores around our town. The wooden bunny and carrots came from a local craft shop they was $25 (a little expensive but.... it's not a thrift store...) then the rest of the items came from my friends antique shop where I got the dooney I was looking for some vintage cookie cutters that day for my decor and there they was it's funny when that happens. For all of the items from the antique store I paid $7 what a deal. See it's all a game of balance when you thrift sometime you pay up and sometimes you get a great deal..... 

 

It's A Thrift Haul Y'all-A Lot of Decor-The Usual..... Ceramics.... Wood and Metal.....

     Hello thrifty mommas!! It's everyone's favorite time of the week or month or whenever I write them.... It's a thrift haul y'all...... This is a pretty big one too sometimes you find it all then sometimes you find nothing so let's jump on in. The first pic all came from goodwill, someone must have gotten rid of a gravy boat collection cause as you can tell I bought a few. The floral ring was just what I needed to complete and display and the milk glass vase was too unique to leave behind. I got all of these items for $9. The second pic all came from a junk store I go to about once a month. I was happy to find the log cabin tin I have a different syrup tin this will go with I guess it's a collection now that I have 2 haha. The blocks was an impulse buy but I really like using them in my displays, the vase was unique and I love my books. Everything from that trip was only $10. 

     The next two pics are from a trip to salvation army.... Yes..... one trip it was a good day! It is always hit or miss with that store but that is how it goes most of the time. It's hard to pic a favorite but the wooden cabinet is really cool and of course the plates that I said I would not collect are so pretty. On this day I spent $16 for everything I was happy with that cause that cabinet was worth that..... The last pic is the last of the items from my friends antique shop and like before he gave me an awesome deal $13 for everything but the ceramic dog and crystal salt and pepper set. I was on the look out for vintage cookie cutters and the custard glass shaker was stunning so that was a good deal for me. The crystal salt and pepper shaker and the ceramic scottie dog was from goodwill and I paid $3 for those items. A pretty good weeks worth of items I would say. 

 

Vintage Dooney and Bourke-Calvary Trooper Bag-Antique Store Find

     Hello thrifty mommas! Thought I would start doing my posts a little different. I want to tell you a bit about where and how I got the items instead of just rushing through with prices. Today I am writing about this awesome vintage bag I got a few weekends ago. My mom and I like to go out on Saturdays to spend some time together, my dad usually keeps my boys so I can be child free. This weekend we went to a local antique store in our town, I actually know the owner of the shop we have known each other since we were preteens. It is always so interesting to see what he has for sale in his shop, he buys out estates so you never know what he may have. On this day I found this vintage dooney and bourke calvary bag he gave me a good deal for it at $30. It is in very good condition the leather is still very nice, the inside is a little dirty by I am the only one who sees that. From my research this bag is a small/medium size (long as it holds my wallet, phone and keys we are good) it is the british tan color and from the 80s. It seems to sell around $100+ online. Seems like my friend gave me a pretty good deal that day.
