I love being 2 places at the same time!

Every Thursday, I like to play with all my pals at Vintage Thingies Thursday . Wait until you see Suzanne's vintage aluminium tree...It's gonna make you squeal with delight!
And....here's my contribution to Transformation Thursday , which is all about taking old fun junk and making new fun junk!

I made these frames from a melange of vintage garland, ornaments and holiday sheet music.

~ Little Wooden Soldier ~

I made these ornaments from recycled Kodak film (remember film?) tins, vintage greeting cards and trim.

These little dioramas started out in life as metal tea strainers!

P.S. I'll be posting on vintage Christmas all month long. If you would like to join in the fun, become a follower over there on the sidebar!

Orange! I ♥ Orange!
In honor of Vintage Thingies Thursday...here is my stuff of the day:


Details: Dotty egg cup, lobster cup (melted butter not included), an amazing checkered Made in Japan teapot, a frog ashtray, Bakelite chicken ~ and yes, she does lay eggs ~ and 3 glass floral place card holders...

A Susie Cooper dotty wedding gift from my English friend Nina.

I hope that whoever decided to put that little blue dot in the middle of that flower is in Heaven.
Which one is your favorite?

For the Birds

Hey everybody...It's Vintage Thingies Thursday!

I present to you my small but beloved vintage bird collection. The chickadee in the middle and the pastel yellow one were the first 2 of my collection. I bought them in an Italian bakery/junk shop (don't ask) in New Jersey 20 years ago. They reminded my of my Grandma Millie. I'm not sure that the memory is accurate, but I seem to recall she had similar ones in her kitchen. The other birds have come from estate sales and thrift shops.

Which one is your favorite?
