My Treasures ~


Happy Sunday my friends ~  Well, as promised I am going to show you my treasures that Mr. Vintage and I found on our vacation ~


We found this lamp at a yard sale on the way to Port Stanley, Ontario.  I just love that it's made of glass.  We found the shade at an antique store in Iona on the way home.



Mr. Vintage is going to rewire the lamp for me and I am going to do a little tweaking to it, but I just love it ~ a steal at $10.00 ~


I fell in love with this sweet little cabinet.  It needs a little tweaking as well ~


Love this little blue creamer ~ sigh ~

The cooler temperatures inspired me to do a fall mantel with some of my other treasures  ~



I found the stick star at a craft store and the mini bale of straw and white pumpkins we found at a farmer's market ~


Love, these little rusty stars ~


I even used Mr. Vintage's deer shed that he found in the woods down the road from us ~






The mantel wasn't enough, I had to redo the coffee table as well ~


And ofcourse, then I had to do the little side chest of drawers ~


It's time to get cozy ~


Lots of throws for those chilly nights ~


Even the pillow is wearing a sweater ~ doesn't it look comfy?


This ladder I found a little while back, so I put a nice cozy quilt on it ~


I found this little quilt in an antique store.  It has some issues, but it needed a home.  When I purchased it, the young man in the store told me that it was his grandmother's and it came from Holland.  I knew then that I must take this home (my mother was from The Netherlands) ~


I also found this little ladder at the same craft store in St. Thomas, Ontario.  I don't know what I will put on it, but I think catching up with all my friends will provide the inspiration ;-)

Lastly, I found this adorable trash can ~ could not leave this behind ~



Well, now the living room is set for fall with some of my treasures ~

Have you been decorating for fall yet?  Have you found any treasures lately?

Can't wait to hear from you ~

Have a wonderful day

((((Hugs))))

  8. Your fall decorations put me in the mood for cooler weather and spiced apple cider. I haven't gotten out my decorations yet as it hasn't felt quite like fall yet. Your treasures that you came home with are wonderful. I think your quilt would display nicely on that ladder. Have fun decorating with your new finds.

  9. Hi Marianne,
    Yes, I've started decorating for Fall and it is so fun to go through all my stuff and search Pinterest for inspiration.
    Your treasures are all lovely, I love the enamel garbage can. I had to smile when I saw that. (Who calls a garbage can a treasure?) You did and you're right!!!
    Hugs, Cindy
