Here are a few of the stained glass I have hanging in my windows. What I have realized doing this post is that all my stained glass pieces except one, has flowers on it. Go figure… me,… flowers. This first one hangs in my kitchen. I love it’s simplicity and it’s colors. The light that streams through [...]
For the last Vintage Thingies of the year I wanted to show you my Vintage Rhinestone Christmas Tree. Every pin is an old one from someone I know~ sister, friends, aunts. Each one of them is so pretty and makes me think of the person who gave it to me. It is about 15 [...]
Here are a few more of my vintage Christmas thingies. As you can see, most of my stuff is very whimsical and fun. I am not the serious type when it comes to my decorations. I like life light hearted so I keep things around that make me smile. My kids (grown up) [...]
I found this santa at a garage sale several years ago. It stands about 4 feet tall and is made out of wood. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it. And it was only 4 dollars. What a buy! It always feels like Christmas when we bring Santa out. I just love him. [...]
I didn’t think anything could fit the term “vintage thingie” better than this and it is also an interesting gardening subject. I saw it a couple of weeks ago when out on a walk at a county park near here. It’s actually quite a large place with a lot of land and a beautiful lake, [...]

Combine lilacs (one of my favorites!) with some cute animals in a vintage print and you have my vintage thingie. I found this nicely framed Currier and Ives print “Two Little Fraid Cats” in the bottom of an old trunk that was given to me by a friend. It was in great shape except for a little cleaning [...]
This flower pot is one of my favorites! I just love it. My neighbor threw it away. Yes, you heard me right. She threw it away. So I quickly ran across the street and scooped it up. Her husband was into gardening. He had a greenhouse and many plants. After he died, she weeded through [...]
My Vintage Thingie is something I bought at a flea market probably 20 years ago. At the time, I fell in love with it because it was so unique and different from anything I had ever seen as far as pottery. I paid somewhere around $25 dollars for it and that was a splurge for [...]
