My Cool Vintage Finds!!

 

WELCOME TO MY FUNKY LIVINGROOM!!!

 

Oh my goodness I have been doing some thrifting and I got some real super cool things and deals!! This very old Mans Suiting Handmade Quilt came from an estate sale. The lady who was selling her Fathers Estate said her Father was 100 and his Mother lived to 101!! I am not sure how old this quilt is but I knew I had to get it. I was kinda freakin cuz I only had $9.00 on me!! She told me she wanted $10.00. So I saw some yarn and 2 chalkboards I wanted too. I put it all together and asked if she would take $9.00 for it all. She told me cuz I had the yarn in there too she would!! LOL I got this quilt cuz I loved it and also to keep me warm this winter if the power goes out!! It is like it was made for my vintage living room!! That is my big girl Teddy Bear I got as a gift a few years ago!! I just Love it and my new orange fur throw. I got that with the money I made off my "JUNQUE GIRL DOLL" I sold to my friend.

 

 

Oh my gosh have you seen the new Milano Pumpkin Spice Cookies? Yummo!!

This is my granny square coffee cup cozy I had my sweet girl Holly from http://damitasprettywrap.blogspot.com/ make up for me and a matching coaster!! It matches my living room so good. Don't you just love spoiling yourself? And if you don't do it you should!!! Cuz you deserve it!! Took me awhile but all my kids are grown up now so I can and do.

 

 

This is my Funky Witch Doll that I got in The Thumb of Michigan at a craft show. She's really cool and has a little purse and the bottom of an old oil lamp. The pillow is from my Secret Sister from church last year. I just love it.

 

In this corner of my living room I just added a crow to my fur cape and put a sunflower in my Moms old orange vase with some real peacock feathers and dried found cat tales from the side of the road. I love being in this room. This room has alot of family things. I added some granny afghans and got some new rugs. I love all of it.

 

And I also wanted to share my 6 vintage coats I got from the thrift store and one from a yard sale. I went to the thrift store on half off the entire store day last month and got 5 of these and the brown suede one Sim and I got at a sale. I got all of them for $9.50!! I have added it up a few times and I can't believe it either!! LOL I will be making critters and some cool funky things from them. They are worn and missing buttons on some but oh how I love them!!!

 

And these are my new gigs I am making! Once again this is my own design and all hand sewed. I have SOLD one already and the others are available. I will be making more and have a new design all drawn out for something else for Christmas!! My Shoppe link https://www.etsy.com/shop/thebagglady76?ref=em
 Christmas will be here soon!! Oh my goodness!!

 

Keep on Keepin On!!

Peace  Out!!

XOXO Love Fran.



 

Oh how I love Vintage!!

WELCOME TO MY VINTAGE LIVING ROOM!!!!

I have been working really hard to clean my living room for the last few days. This is my most favorite room to clean. It has so many family and vintage items that I display in it. This is the most fru fru room I have in my house. Kaitlin calls it my museum. LOL But when her friends come over they love it and think it's cool!! Sim and I put this room together when we were getting ready to get married. We had alot of dates at Antique Shops and Estate Sales. We have old family photos in here from both of our families. And some that are not in our family! LOL But I loved the picture!! I have the hardest time at sales not buying old pictures!! But I do control myself!! LOL This is a vintage dresser that we got and I have family jewelry boxes on it with alot of jewelry. I just bought the old jar that says 50 years together on it at the Goodwill for a $1.00. I put alot of my brown and gold jewelry in it. I do wear some of the jewelry in here. And I also use some of the purses.

I love old fur anything! I rescue it all the time from sales or people give it to me. This fur cape here was just given to me from a lady who passed who was cool lady!! She was so pretty and and very hip for her age!! I feel very blessed. I got some jewelry and a few other things too. See my mink teddy bears? I love them in my old train case!!

This is an old dresser vanity I reused from the Salvation Army a long time ago. I have these old pictures of guess who on there!! Me!! My grandma always took me to get my picture taken up in town. I remember those days real good!! LOL My favorite is the one with me on the phone. My Dad and Mom met at the telephone Company. They were divorced when I was two. I have alot of my rhinestone jewelry displayed on here. Sim made me the lamp out of old books.

I am just taking you around the room. This is my end table out of suitcases.  I love leopard print too and have added alittle of bit of it here and there. I got the 50's lamp from a church sale. I have an old fur collar from a coat in the window with gold frame family modern pictures. And I won the silver creamer from a giveaway from the Tin Rabbit Blog.

 I wanted to share this pic to show you three items I bought from local Esty Artist at Shows this past December. The old book page ball is really cool! I got the base from my Mom who was getting rid of it cuz the lid was broken!!! And the old Michelob bottle behind it, I found in the dirt a few months ago while out hunting just for junk like that!!  The tag is from one artist and the paper and button flowers are from another artist!! I love it!! That tile there I will soon be upcycling with a old black and white photo I have and some old book pages. I will be using it for a coaster.

This corner is really cool with a screeen Sim made for us out of two vintage rockin doors. He put vintage knobs on there to hold my old purses. These fur cape is very special to me. It was bought for my Mom from my Step-Dad when  I was growing up. She wore it alot!!!! I have a few of my smaller items displayed on this three teir 50's table. The coat is vintage and on one of my old manniquins.

This little display next to here is old vintage cupboard doors Sim made in to a screen for me also. I have old fur collars on it once again I rescued from sales. I was given the telephone and old camera on the little end table. This table use to be my Grandmas. She refinished it. I put the black knobs on. My Uncle Billy is in the picture. He was killed inan auto accident when he was 11 years old. I never him.  

This is an old 50's vintage mirror we got at an estate sale and I display jewerly and my little shoe collection on.

This is Sim Dad's Marine uniform. We have it displayed with a few other things. We have all the letters he wrote home to his Mother.

 We just seprated the flag, hat and a few other things over to this old TV cabinet. We had to use the trunk we had it on for our new TV. Trying to use what we have and save money. We put my Grandmas picture inside where the TV picture use to be. We had our other TV on top. We love this TV cabinet. We got it at an estate sale for $8.00. Well, that's it. I hope you're not to bored! LOL But thought I 'd share a part of me and what I love with you. Thanks!!

XOXO Fran.
