Fun Fall Thrift Store Finds...

It is feeling like an early fall here, with pleasant temperatures, goldenrod in the fields, and even some trees turning color!  
I love visiting thrift stores this time of year as they have put out many things for fall and Halloween! 
I have a few of my fun finds for fall to share with you!

Are you a fan of Paul DeLongpre?  I am...and was thrilled to find this beautiful print...beautiful chrysanthemums!



This little flower basket is missing a handle...
but I loved the color and the petite size...


I found two other pieces of fall artwork...this poppies painting...


and a pretty little print.  I had to really look at this one 
as it looked so much like a painting!  
I used my folk art windmill as an easel to display it.



I found some pretty accent pieces, too...
A lovely silverplate footed sugar...
(I bought the wee sheep from etsy at CedarPondWoolCraft)


two of these unusual handled jars...


and a charming squirrel.


I was happy to find this wheat...
it is expensive in the craft stores!


This English Ellgreave vase has a nice size to it...



And last, this charming
 covered butter dish...love the little cow...


Hope you are finding some fun finds for fall, too!

Until next time...

  1. Lovely finds, Linda! I love the chrysanthemum print! I have never come across wheat while thrifting, but my grocery store carries it in the floral department, pretty reasonably priced. Since pumpkins are late to arrive here, I've been using it quite a bit as I add fall accents. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

    1. I used to love that show...Decorating Cents! Joan Steffend was the host...and she was an anchor/reporter on our local NBC affiliate news in the Twin Cities then, too. I wish HGTV still had shows like that!

  22. You found so many great things! I really love the mums print and the jar, and that bundle of wheat is so pretty. I was looking for some at the craft store last week, but only got a small pack because it was expensive.
