Thrifty Christmas Finds!
I casually stopped in to see what the thrifts were offering and I came home with this
vintage metal lantern. It has a pot of ivy glued to the bottom.
But lo and behold the bottom came off . It seems only peeling paint was holding it on. I like it this way best!
$2.99 their price and .99 on a sticker on the bottom. They gave it to me for the .99!
I wasn't going to buy another mug. But who could resist? Aqua, snowflake and such a cute saying
inside! It was only $.79 but I should have hardened my heart. It is hard to drink from, see how the lip turns in? I felt like I was drinking upside down. Eagle eyes better than mine will also see the hairline crack.
I'm pouting.
This cute tin Santa with the swinging legs was a prize! He is on my mantel now.
The little bough of greenery has scrolls of music and holly berries, too cute!
I added lights to a golden star basket I thrifted some time ago and they twinkle in five colors.
This little primitive stocking hangs very sweetly on the bookcase. $.10 and it was mine.

I absolutely adore that lantern-turn-cloche......it has endless possibilities. Right now I am thinking faux silk red poinsiettas with tiny rice twinkle white lights inside- ??
Thanks so much for visiting me so I could find you. Smiles and wishes for a Happy Christmas~!
