JUNKIN FINDS FRIDAY #20

Welcome to the 20th Junkin Finds Friday

 I am still finding the shelves at the thrift shops pretty bare, but I did manage to find a few good things!  

 

This Pyrex 401 mixing bowl in the Forest Fancies pattern was 99 cents

I found 4 red checked napkins and red handled set of silverware for $2

 I love this Stangl Pottery creamer in the 'Carnival' pattern...it has a crack that does not go all the way through.  I still love the look and at 99 cents....it makes me happy

This is my favorite find of the week

This beautiful milk glass dish is stunning! I love the pattern and detail.

 It was only 95 cents!  

Now I can't wait to see what you have found to share this week! 

Remember link up your post and not just your blog.  Please put a link back to this party in your blog. 

Happy Junkin,

Linda

St PATRICK'S VIGNETTE

Here is my St Patrick's Day Vignette

I used my cute little St Patrick Day bears under the cloche with an Irish Coffee mug.  All these items were thrifted of course!  

I don't have any St Patrick's Day plates but I thought this Blue Ridge Southern Potteries Plate in the Stanhome Ivy pattern works just fine

ST. PADDY'S TABLE & TEAPOT WINNER!

Today I'm joining Chari at Happy to Design for Sunday Favorites.  This is a re-run of a post from last year!  I hope you enjoy my St Patrick's Day tablescape!

The winner of the teapot will be announced at the end of this post! 

I wanted to do a St. Patrick's Day Table.  I shopped my home and except for some ribbon I had most everything already.

I started with a lace tablecloth (so Irish don't you think?) and layered green placemats over that.

I used my white ivy charger plates

then added these vintage green plates
**Thanks to Sherry @ Back to Vintage for letting me know these are made by Edwin Knowles and are in the Yorktown pattern!**

Next I added a white milk glass plate with a decorated cut out edge.  To blend the colors of green I found this ribbon and threaded it through the edge of the plates.

 Added a small milk glass plate with a green edge

Each place setting had a ceramic clover decoration added

I used my parents wedding silverware

The napkins are fine linen with a lace embellishment

For a napkin ring I tied them with green ribbon and added this bow which was a hair clip (2 for $1 at Target).

A green glass for water or wine

The centerpiece was some 'pretend' flowers in an old green planter

Cute little St. Patrick's bears sit on a small cake plate with green beads and shamrocks

A little magical fairly looks at her reflection

I added a green cup & saucer for Mr ALC to have coffee

I will have the 'good' stuff...Irish coffee!

A few milk glass serving pieces

More vintage green serving pieces

Lots of Green for Good Luck

Add some yummy Corned Beef & Cabbage and I'm all set.

Hope you enjoyed this St. Patrick's Day Tablescape.

This year I have used some of these elements in a vignette I will share on the St Patrick's Day Blog 

Crawl on March 15th at 

Cuisine Kathleen!

I am also linking this post up to Seasonal Sundays at The Tablescaper

JUNKIN FINDS FRIDAY #19

Welcome to Junkin Finds Friday #19

 Last week we had 66 participants! 

I have a request, please share something you have found at a yard or estate sale, thrift shop or a really great bargain somewhere.  I don't want to delete posts but it is frustrating to those who come to the party to read about Junkin Finds and read a post has nothing to do with that at all.  Also PLEASE put a link in your blog back to the party.  It is only fair to others who follow the rules. Thank you!

Now this week I'm sharing a few glass items I found thrifting!

This cute juice glass 29 cents and kings crown punch cup 39 cents were big bargains.  I wish I could have found more punch cups but this is so pretty I could not pass it up.

I love the color of this Ball jar and at $1.50 not a bad purchase!

I didn't find a lot this week but I'm very happy with my finds!

Don't forget my giveaway of this cute

Teapot Here

I will draw a winner on Sunday!

I can't wait to see what you found this week!  Please link your post not just your blog and make sure there is a link back to this party!  

Happy Junkin,

Linda

WHATS UP WEDNESDAY & GIVEAWAY

It's a lovely rainy day here in Atlanta and what a great day to catch up on some thank yous!  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family, good health and the best friends ever!  

How fun is it to receive packages in the mail?  Sometimes expected, sometimes not!  

Recently the fabulous ZootsuitMama offered to share some of her vintage collectibles with her followers.  Knowing I'm a huge Flamingo fan she sent me these two treasures! 

Isn't he cute!!  Only 5 inches tall it made me squeal when I opened the package. 
AND she included this....

A rhinestone Flamingo pin!  
She is having another giveaway Here
So give her a visit!


I won a giveaway from the sweetest blog
My Sister's Cottage
Cheryl dedicates this blog to her sister Nancy who lost her battle with ovarian cancer.  It's an uplifting tribute to the love she and her sister shared and the fun they had, especially doing crafts!

 Cheryl made these adorable magnets using belt buckles and bits & pieces of this and that.  I love them!!  I was so thrilled to win them.  I hope you will visit this lovely blog! 


I have a blogging friend named Chris!  She and I haven't met (yet!) but I think we will.  She saw a post I did here.
I was trying to decide which Valentine place setting to use...this one caught her eye

And she sent me this....

Yes!  It's a matching cup and saucer!  I love it.  I swear the nicest people are out here in blogland.  If you haven't visited I'm Not Old, I'm Vintage you don't know what you are missing! 

So we are down to the last month of my daughter's pregnancy!  She is doing great and so is the baby.  Due April 10th! I am beyond excited!  Don't worry there will be lots of updates and photos!  


Since I have been so blessed lately I think it's time to do a giveaway to you my wonderful friends!  

This is a cute Oneida mini teapot

If you would like to win this teapot please leave a comment saying you would like to be entered!  That's it!  Make sure I have a way to contact you.  I will draw a name Sunday.  


Happy Junkin,
